Learn More About Josephine

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have had 2 cats named Bumble and Mimi. Unfortunately both passed away with a month of each other. However I have fostered many in between times that I did not have a cat.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

I would look for someone who has experience in owning a cat. This is definitely helpful if a cat’s diet or behavior changes when their owners are away. I would also look for someone who has a consistent schedule of availability as cats are consistent creatures of habit.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love puzzles and toys where you can hide a treat. This helps to entice your cat to play and also continuously build their hunting skills. It allows for development and making sure your cat is never bored.

I can't recommend Josephine enough! She watched my six cats for five days and was incredible from start to finish. With that many cats, care instructions can be pretty detailed, but Josephine handled everything with ease and professionalism. One of my cats has asthma and needs an inhaler twice a day, and she was wonderful with him—patient, gentle, and reliable in giving his medication. At our meet and greet, she came prepared, took notes, and asked great questions. I had complete peace of mind while I was away. She truly went above and beyond for all of us. My cats were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and kind, Josephine is the one. I'd absolutely book her again!

Josephine was wonderful, I have a 17 yr old with diabetes and hyperthyroidism she needed insulin 2 times a day and thyroid med 2 times a day also! I was very concerned about leaving her but Josephine was excellent she took care of my elderly cat with care and kept me updated every day which helped me enjoy my vacation n worry less! I also have another healthy cat who fell in love with Josephine! What a fantastic sitter! I highly recommend Josephine especially if you have a special needs kitty! I'll definitely be using her again!!

Josephine earned these five stars effortlessly! I just recently had my cat, Oliver diagnosed with congestive heart failure. I am still trying to get used to this new medicine routine. My partner who usually gives Oliver his medication was going to be out of town for 10 days. We hired Josephine to give Oliver pills in the a.m. and p.m. and it couldn't have gone better. She is very friendly sweet and patient and that's exactly what Oliver needed. She understands how cats can be because she had to give her own cats medicine. I watched her do this with love and kindness and then I was able to get ready for work. I do not have to worry about anything in the morning and evening because Josephine totally had it covered. This was very comforting to me! Her and Oliver are very good buddies. I will be using her in the future. You should too!

When planning our 10 day vacation out of the country, we knew we couldn’t leave our cat Olive with just anyone but we’re very glad we chose Josephine!! She was very thorough and asked a lot of questions regarding our cats care, she was very quick to respond and sent many photos, videos and updates daily. Josephine went above and beyond and we’re very grateful for her. I could not recommend her enough, as she’s the best!!

Josephine was fantastic. We knew during our meet and greet with her that our cat would be well looked after. She sent us daily updates and pictures and even offered to help with things around the apartment. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing that our cat was in such good hands. I would highly highly recommend hiring Josephine! She is the best

Frequently Asked Questions

Queens Village cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. 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.
