I'm Joy | Cat Sitting in Houston, TX
Many people know me as that one person who befriends almost every kitty they meet. That's because I approach each one with compassion and respect on their own terms. What I love most about cats is that they each have a will of their own (sometimes a very strong one!), which makes earning their trust and affection that much more rewarding. My main service areas are Houston (mostly anywhere within Beltway 8), Bellaire, and Sugar Land. I currently share my home in the Galleria area with one cat, a nine year-old grey tuxedo rescue named Jasmine. Over the past few years, I have also fostered three kittens short-term and and one long-term. (Jazzy has made it very clear that she prefers to be an only child, though!) Having lived with cats my entire life, I am well-versed in the meanings behind feline body language, behavior and actions.

Joy's Reviews
Tore Nogva
Joy did an amazing job from start to finish. She bonded quickly with our cat and her movies and pictures were small highlights for us. She also left litter, water fountain and everything else in pristine condition. I highly recommend Joy!

You know those lucky humans that cats just love and trust instinctively? That's Joy! My shy kitty came out of his shell immediately and knowing he was at ease helped ME relax while I was away. The updates we got were SO good - in fact, I have never had quite such a detail-oriented cat sitter experience. She was super on top of all of our cats' needs in a way that made it absolutely clear she was completely tuned into them, and not just checking off boxes on a to-do list. I cannot recommend Joy enough for her professionalism, top notch communication, and her incredible cat-charming skills!!

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
