Learn More About Joanna

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I’ve been cat sitting since I was a kid! The neighbors used to hire me to pet sit their cats, dogs, fish, and even birds while they travelled. I’m a regular cat sitter for my friends in Astoria and my sister. I’ve babysat for cats who need medication, shy, friendly, and all in between!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

An orange cat who is a Velcro cat. I’ve petsit for him a few times, and now when I walk in, we have a routine — he runs right up to me and I sit down, and he jumps onto my shoulder for me to pick him up, give him pets, and walk around!

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

Give them the space they need and make sure that they know I am a safe space for them. I never move around fast or loudly, and if they are nearby, I’ll sit and let them observe me and offer out a hand if they are keen to explore. I always speak in an even, friendly tone even if they aren’t around, so they can get used to my presence. I’ll sit on the couch even if they are hiding and watch some tv so that they are aware I stay for a bit and they can hang out, if they chose to do so.

Joanna has always been my go to cat sitter. My cat always immediately greats her at the door and often chooses her lap over mine. She has always been there to help out with my cat and truly is the only person I would ask to watch after my cat when I’m out of town.

Joanna is the best cat sitter I’ve ever had! She makes sure that she has plenty of time in her day to not only feed my cat, but also to hang out and play with him. She’s reliable, knowledgeable about cats and loving. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions

Astoria cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $32.00. 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.
