I'm Joanne
Cat Sitting in Nashville, TN
I've dreamed of having cats for years, so when my husband surprised me with Spirit as a Christmas gift, I couldn't have been happier. Later, I came across Sirius on his foster mom's TikTok through Nashville Cat Rescue and instantly fell in love. Watching my family grow from one cat to two has made caring for cats one of my greatest passions.
As a cat parent, I know every cat has their own personality and routine. Spirit is confident and playful, while introducing Sirius taught me firsthand how important patience, positive reinforcement, and understanding feline body language are. Every interaction happens at the cat's pace, and I bring that same approach to every cat I care for... Hi, I'm Joanne!
I've dreamed of having cats for years, so when my husband surprised me with Spirit as a Christmas gift, I couldn't have been happier. Later, I came across Sirius on his foster mom's TikTok through Nashville Cat Rescue and instantly fell in love. Watching my family grow from one cat to two has made caring for cats one of my greatest passions.
As a cat parent, I know every cat has their own personality and routine. Spirit is confident and playful, while introducing Sirius taught me firsthand how important patience, positive reinforcement, and understanding feline body language are. Every interaction happens at the cat's pace, and I bring that same approach to every cat I care for.
When I visit your home, my priority is making sure your cat feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while keeping their routine as normal as possible. Whether that means playtime with their favorite wand toy, quiet companionship for a shy kitty, fresh food and water, litter box cleaning, or simply giving them the space they need, I'll tailor each visit to your cat's personality and your instructions.
I believe communication is just as important as great pet care. I'll send detailed updates with plenty of photos so you always know how your cat is doing and can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I also pay close attention to changes in appetite, litter box habits, energy levels, and behavior so I can let you know if anything seems unusual.
What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every cat. I'm naturally detail-oriented, patient, and genuinely love getting to know each cat as an individual. My goal isn't just to complete a visit—it's to earn your cat's trust and make sure they feel loved until you're back home.
I can't wait to meet you and your feline family!

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
While I'm new to professional cat sitting, I've been caring for my own cats since 2025. As a dedicated cat mom to Spirit and Sirius, I've gained hands-on experience with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, enrichment, play, monitoring health and behavior, and understanding feline body language. One of my most valuable experiences was carefully introducing a new kitten into my home using a gradual, positive approach, which taught me the importance of patience and letting each cat build confidence at their own pace. Although I'm just beginning my cat sitting journey, I treat every cat as if they were my own and am committed to providing attentive, reliable care while keeping owners updated every step of the way
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Yes I have two of the cutest cats! Spirit Lilly (Grey Tabby) and Sirius Black (Black cat, named from a character in Harry Potter)
What is your favorite cat toy?
Spirit’s favorite toy are those colorful cat springs, which she loves to play fetch with; and Sirius’ favorite toy is a cat chew rope

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.
Nashville cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
