I'm Joanne | Cat Sitting in Woodbridge, VA
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. Prior to retirement, I worked for the National Council on Aging (NCOA) as the Director of its Senior Environmental Employment (SEE) Program (a national employment program for person aged 55 or older) funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Joanne's Reviews
Jayme
Joanne did a great job with our 2 kitties! We were so thankful to have her over the holiday. She provided excellent updates & it was clear the cats were very happy!
Michelle
Joanne was an absolute lifesaver, and we couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! She went above and beyond to ensure our cats were happy, healthy, and well cared for during our time away. Administering medications can be challenging, but Joanne handled it with expertise and care, giving us complete peace of mind. The food, water, and litter were always clean and well-maintained, and we came home to relaxed, content cats—a true testament to her dedication. Not only did Joanne provide exceptional care for our pets, but she also kept our home spotless and secure. She even went out of her way to bring packages inside, which was such a thoughtful touch. Her communication was outstanding—she kept us updated every step of the way with photos, videos, and detailed messages, which made us feel connected and reassured. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who is reliable, compassionate, and incredibly detail-oriented, I cannot recommend Joanne enough. She treated our pets and home as if they were her own, and her empathy and excellent communication made navigating the strict medication schedule completely stress-free. Joanne truly goes the extra mile, and we’re so grateful for her care!
Jennifer
Joanne is fantastic. She’s diligent and detailed and makes sure everything is taken care of - she is also a great communicator. You’ll have great peace of mind with her services. The kitties are always happy to see her as well!
Winnie
Joanne is a very reliable kitty sitter! Having her visit definitely makes a difference that I can notice in my cats’ behavior when I return from a trip; they aren’t upset about trips anymore. It also gives me peace of mind to know that a true cat lover is taking care of my babies!
Melissa
second time she has cat sat for me and again was absolutely amazing! this time I was in another country and could only look at the phone in the evenings and yet I slept easy knowing my babies were being well cared for.

Frequently Asked Questions
Woodbridge cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $26.00. 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.
