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
Katie
We were so lucky to have found Joanne. It was clear when we first met that she was a cat person who understands to give them their space, how to play with them, and treat them respectfully. We had no concerns at all during our trip, as each of her visits were filled with narratives about what each cat was up to, how stressed they seemed, and how she was getting to know each of them. You could tell by her updates that she enjoyed spending time with our cats, and that she was happy to be with them - from getting the shy one to come play and tiring out our crazy kitten. When we got home, you could tell all 3 of our cats were doing just fine and showed no signs of separation anxiety induced stress (which we've seen in the past). She was also kind enough to turn on the cats' heating pad, bring in the mail, turn on our lights for our houseplants, and take out the trash with her, every single day! We could just enjoy our vacation without any concern how our cats and house were doing, since everything was in good hands. If you want someone who truly speaks "cat" and will keep your cats (and you!) happy during your time away, we cannot recommend Joanne enough!.

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.
