Learn More About Johanna

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Similar to being a foster and volunteer, sitting allows me to meet and spend time with cats! I find so much joy in caring for cats. Since it is unrealistic for me to have a hundred cats of my own, I hope that you will allow me the pleasure of caring for yours.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

If it is our first time working together, I require an introduction meeting. For this meeting, I will visit your home and you can facilitate an introduction between myself and your cat(s). We will review each and every detail of how you would like for me to care for your beloved babies and establish clear plans for any home and kitty emergencies. Emergencies can happen unexpectedly and quickly, so it is my top priority to be prepared.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

Safety and security can be ensured by being responsible, proactive, and observant. While visiting, I will respect your home and only access/use areas you’ve authorized. By request, I can keep your home from appearing vacant by bringing in mail, or adjusting lights/curtains. I will monitor for kitty health concerns (not eating, vomiting, diarrhea, etc.). I’ll be careful to observe any hazards (broken toys, chewed wires, water leaks, power outages). I will be cautious entering and leaving to avoid escapes, and triple check I’ve appropriately secured all exits.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I have so much fun with my cat Sampson on his one fast cat wheel. Yes, cat wheel! Similar to a hampster on a wheel, my cat uses it to work out his zoomies.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I have experience volunteering at a cat shelter photographing kitties for their Pet Finder profiles. As hard as we worked to make the shelter comfortable, kitties were often very timid and afraid. Nonetheless, I needed quality photos of the kitties to help them get adopted. I learned to have a lot of patience and to set myself up to allow the cat to come to me, when they were ready. The core of my technique is to introduce each sense (hearing, sight, smell, and touch) one at a time, taking ques from kitty the throughout.

We have never left our cats in the care of anyone but family members or neighbors. But this year we had a family reunion out of state during the holidays, and I went looking for a pet sitter. When I found Meowtel, which specializes in cats, I knew I found our sitter. Everything went so smoothly. Our sitter, Johanna, responded quickly to all messages. She came and met our cats. She asked good questions and listened carefully to all instructions. She even sent photos from her visits. I was so happy I found Meowtel and very happy with Johanna. She even cleaned the cat dishes and brought in our mail and newspapers. I highly recommend Meowtel.

Johanna is fantastic with cats. My normally antisocial cat warmed up to her almost immediately. I enjoyed to seeing pictures and hearing how my cat was doing each day I was gone. Johanna is responsible, communicative, and friendly. I would trust her with my pets anytime.

Frequently Asked Questions

Elkton cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Cat sitters on Meowtel offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so you can find the best options which are close by.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with your sitter before you leave.

Cats are territorial animals and don't do well in new environments. The presence of other cats, dogs, and even birds in kennels or animal hotels cause an immense amount of stress for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit typically includes the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
