I'm Johanna
Cat Sitting in Bloomfield, NJ
I'm available all times throughout the day (including weekends) to check in on your furry friend while you're out. I have a car, and can travel within... I'm a reliable and detail-oriented cat lover who's available for daily check-ins, feedings, cleanings, and playtime. I have a cat of my own (Lily!) and have been around cats and other pets all my life, so I'm comfortable with animals. I can tell when a kitty's looking for attention, or when they prefer some space.
I'm available all times throughout the day (including weekends) to check in on your furry friend while you're out. I have a car, and can travel within a 10-mile radius of Bloomfield, NJ.
I've pet-sat for friends multiple times over the years, plus I've looked for pet sitters for my own cat, so I know what it's like on both sides of the experience. I'll always respect the space I'm entering and stick to any instructions provided, while sending you updates as needed or requested, to make sure you're comfortable with my level of care.
I hope to be able to help you care for your best fur friend soon!

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I've watched pets, including cats, for friends several times over the last 20 years, including overnight stays.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love when a cat starts to feel comfortable with a new person. When they decide you're worthy of their attention, it's the best feeling in the world!
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
My husband and I have a cat named Lily, but we mostly call her Cat (she doesn't really respond to either name :P). She walked into our apartment one day after escaping from her original owner's house, and did so a few more times even after we got her back home. In the end her owner was ok with Cat's decision, and we've been her chosen family now for 8 years.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I like to get on their level and meet them where they are -- literally. I'll sit on the floor patiently and let them approach when they're ready. But if it doesn't work, I won't push it. Sometimes the best thing you can do is show up to feed/clean, and doing that regularly enough will hopefully build the trust they need to approach eventually.

Johanna was a perfect sitter for my cats. I couldn’t be happier. As this experience being my very first of hiring a sitter, I didn’t know what I was going to get. I started with a bit of worry and anxiety, but Johanna went above and beyond to keep my cats happy. Daily photos she sent me showed how comfortable and happy my cats were with her. Even my shy girl Lulu did not hesitate to come out of her hiding to hang with her. on top of my cats’ wellbeing, she also took care of my numerous plants , as she watered them exactly as I asked her so when I returned home, all my plants were thriving. African violet is even blossoming with flowers. Next time I’m out of town again and I need a cat sitter, I am 100% reaching out to Johanna for sure.

Johanna took a lot of notes at the initial visit and was very detail oriented while she watched my cats. She always provided detailed updates and worked hard to become friends with my kitties. I’m making her my go-to for cat sitting!

Johanna is the best kitty caretaker ever. My 6 cats each have unique needs such as medication, food type, litter needs, etc. Johana followed directions purrfectly. My cats LOVE her! My Starlord and Zuko ran to greet her every morning for love before they'd let her get up to feed them. She was patient and tidy in everything she did. I adore Johanna. Her superior work ethic and loving heart make her well suited to this work!

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.
If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.
Bloomfield cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.
Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a 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. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a Meet & Greet!

We were very nervous leaving our little Luna home while we were gone on a five day trip. Johanna helped us feel so much better while away. We knew Luna would be cared for and knew she would be happy having Johanna spend time with her. We would certainly hire Johanna again.
