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
Winnie
Joanne remembered the details and instructions from our last kitty visit and was able to care for my two kitties at short notice without needing an additional meet and greet which was really convenient for us!
Winnie
Joanne very clearly loves all cats! she took very detailed notes during the meet and greet and made sure to check on all the cats, even the shy ones. she sent detailed updates during her visit and described all the cat related activities as well as followed special instructions pertaining to each cat’s individual quirks. I very much appreciated Joanne’s responsive communication in the app as well! This was my first time using a cat sitter after years of being too nervous to trust anyone with my precious fur balls, but Joanne has made me a convert!
Melissa
Joanne was absolutely wonderful and I will a hundred percent be going back to her for future cat sitting needs! She was super communicative and gave wonderful updates. I knew from the meet and greet that she was going to be wonderful. She had incredible patience and was willing to either play or simply sit with my babies depending on their moods. I am sure she would have charmed my shy one, had she come out of hiding and given her a chance. I could tell she absolutely loved and cared for my babies as if they were her own and that gave me an incredible peace of mind while away. My babies were in wonderful hands the entire time.

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.
Joyce
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!

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.
