I have had cats since childhood. We lived on a farm and had six cats. I have mothered Asia (she lived for twenty-five years), Cosmo and Mindy. I have their ashes at home. Currently, I am mother to Kahli and Mahli, brother and sister. I rescued them from a feral life in 2020. My cats are sweet, social, playful and happy.

Joanne's Reviews
Liz
Joanne is fabulous. Kahj is an escape artist, but she maneuvered him masterfully. Joanne sent regular updates and responded quickly to all questions. She loved my kitties for me and I appreciate it. She was very prepared and took notes regarding food/treats/litter/kitty preferences. 10/10 recommend. We were grateful that she looked after our kitties while we were gone.

Joanne is such a sweet person and genuinely cares for the cats that she watches. She treats the cats as if they are her own! My husband and I truly appreciate the pictures and videos that she sends every day!! We are so happy to have Joanne take care of our “boys” while we are on vacation!
Joyce
Great cat sitter! Joanne came into our home when she was scheduled at around 5-5:30 pm to give our kitties their dinner. She notified me that she was there and went straight to her work! She also took an adorable picture of our youngest, George, in his sleep saucer!

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.
