Learn More About Joyce

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! I’m usually home for most holidays throughout the year. Only occasionally am I away for holiday. For the remainder of the year, I will only be away for memorial Day.

What is your favorite cat toy?

We just got the new electric mouse chase toy off TikTok- my cats have turned into iPad kids they beg for me to turn it on.

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

I give timid cats space, speak softly, move slowly, and let them lead. Trust builds naturally through consistency, patience, and calm presence.

Joyce was amazing with our two cats while we were away for a long weekend. She was a great communicator (sent lots of pics) and I felt like she really enjoyed spending time with our kitties! She followed all of our instructions perfectly and went above and beyond caring for our pets

Joyce is very sweet, attentive, and professional. She is an experienced cat sitter and a true cat person. She is also very thoughtful and sends text and photos of her interactions while pet sitting.

After hiring a few cat sitters, I’m so happy that I found Joyce! She is extremely experienced, as well as attentive and nurturing with my two cats. She’s now the only cat sitter I trust!

Frequently Asked Questions

Lyndhurst cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $27.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
