I am a longtime (my whole life) cat owner and lover, and I have been working as a pet sitter for 9 years, with my boss even sometimes calling me the “cat whisperer.” If there’s a cat in the room, I’m more interested in him or her than the humans :) I love their purrs, their meows, their silly quirks, and their intuitive nature that makes them the best animals in the world! I do have experience with topical ointments and distributing meds, if need be. Let’s connect and discuss your beloved kitty’s special needs!! 🐾 ❤️
Learn More About Julieann
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
8 years professionally! (Aside from fostering and owning cats my whole life, as well) I have dealt with lovable cats, shy cats, anxious cats, and standoffish ones. However, most are so loving once they see they can trust you. They sense a cat person when they meet one!
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Becoming friends with new cats!! I love caring for animals, and I love caring for cats. I simply have a bond with them that’s hard to explain!
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
Not sure if I could pick just one, but I had a very close bond with a black and white guy named Sylvester (naturally!) and he was the sweetest guy that loved drinking from the sink and getting petted. He also had kidney disease, so I made sure to always check his litter box for any changes. He has since passed, and still I miss him years later!
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I had two sisters that recently passed, Buffy and Dixie, and they lived to be 18! I’m currently getting ready to adopt two all-black fosters, July and Sparkler 🐈⬛ 🐈⬛
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Meet & greets are everything! I want you to meet me in person so you can see my warmth for you and your cat.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
Spend time just sitting with him or her! Try a bunch of different toys and treats, and see which ones he or she prefers. Talk gently to them. They’ll feel comfortable with you and your love in no time!
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
Make sure all windows are securely closed, or, if the client wants windows open for nice weather, I make sure the opening is not wide enough for a cat to escape. I’m also extremely careful about opening/closing doors for same reason. I always do a walk-through of the house, to make sure everything looks safe!
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes! I understand the value in being there for your cats when you want to leave home for a few days. I do charge an extra 5% for major holiday (Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, July 4th) visits.
What is your favorite cat toy?
My soon-to-be kitties love the crinkly toys (that’s what I call them at least!) They tend to only carry them in their mouths, as opposed to trying to eat them 😂 and catnip, of course!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Speak very gently and softly to them. (I’m a naturally soft-spoken person.) If they’re under the bed, I’ll get on the floor, peek under the bed, and quietly talk to them. If still anxious or aggressive, I’ll give them space, and do my duties from a distance!

Julieann is wonderful! She went above and beyond to make sure my kitties were comfortable with her and that one of them got her medication every day (despite hiding under the bed). She asked thoughtful questions that showed that she cares about my kitties and my piece of mind while I was on vacation. Loved the daily pics and updates!

I could not have been happier with Julianne sitting for my two cats. She came at the requested times & left great updates to let me know how the visits went. In the past my cats have had a hard time adjusting to new sitters & to me being away. they took to Juileanne almost right away & were in good spirits when I returned from my trip. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Julieanne next time I need a sitter.

I typically worry about my cats when I travel, along with the challenges I might face when returning home. However, after meeting Julieann and receiving her daily updates while I was away, I experienced complete peace of mind. For the first time, I was truly able to relax and enjoy my vacation. Julieann has a special gift with cats—even those with quirky personalities. I could tell when I returned home they were all well loved and cared for. I will absolutely be reaching out to her again the next time I’m away.

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.
Oaklyn cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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 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. 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 free Meet & Greet!
