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.

Josephine went above and beyond this 2nd time I booked her! nyc had a big snowstorm over a foot of snow n Josephine got to my place 2 times a day through that storm.!! if anyone knows city streets here u know how difficult parking can be in snow like this! she made it each time! it was so important to me since my other cat passed recently and this was first time Mittens was alone her entire 13 year life without her sister. I was relieved n could enjoy my vacation knowing Josephine was taking care of her. She sent photos each visit. took care of litter n left apt perfect!! I highly recommend Josephine she is so friendly and chill and my cats, (now cat) love her!! I'm very grateful she was my sitter!!

Josephine was absolutely wonderful to work with and she took great care for my babies!! She gave me regular updates and was very accommodating to my cats’ circumstances (as well as my own). Josephine is easy to talk to, very personable, and one of the friendliest people I have met. My cats are very shy (more skittish than anything) and she was incredibly patient with them. Thank you so much and I will see you again soon!

We could not have asked for a better cat sitter! Josephine took amazing care of our three cats with twice-daily visits, making sure they were fed breakfast and dinner and that lunch was perfectly set up in the automatic feeder each day. She was incredibly attentive and thorough, and it was clear our kitties were in loving, capable hands. Her communication truly stood out — she was always prompt to respond and sent us detailed text updates with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. She spent quality time playing with the cats, gave them treats, and handled giving one of our kitties his medication right on schedule without any issues. On top of all that, when our flight was unexpectedly canceled, she was more than willing to continue caring for our cats, which we appreciated more than we can say. That flexibility and kindness meant everything to us. We came home to happy, well-cared-for kitties and couldn’t be more grateful. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative cat sitter! 🐾 🐾🐾💛💛💛

It was wonderful working with Josephine. She kept in great contact and pulled through with extra days last minute when my flight was cancelled due to the snow storm.

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!

Had a mini getaway coming up and we didn’t hesistate to book Josephine again since she’s so great and our cat loves her! This time our cat needed eye drops through out the day and she handled it without issues, and is alway very thorough with updates. She’s a 10/10 ⭐️

It was my first time leaving my kittens alone and Josephine calmed my nerves about it completely. I knew they were in good hands because of her curiosity during the meet and greet and clear communication. I got adorable photos of my cats, too. I would definitely recommend Josephine if you are looking for a reliable catsitter.

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!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Queens Village cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
