I've been caring for pets since I was young, and over the years, I've gained hands-on experience with every aspect of feline care from feeding to playtime to grooming. Whether your cat needs calm companionship, special attention, or just some extra love while you're away, you can trust me to treat them like family. From the moment I meet your feline friend, I take the time to understand their unique
personality, needs, and routines. I will be sure to tailor every visit to what your cat needs the most.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 3 kitties. Their names are Momo, Toph, and Bumi (yes, I am an Avatar the Last airbender fan)

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I will make sure to check with the owner of the exact specifics of their daily routine. I will clarify if there are any doors that need to remain open or closed. I will monitor food and litter boxes to make sure the kitties are eating and going to the bathroom. I will also be sure to get details from the owner on emergency procedures (emergency evacuation, location of carriers, emergency vet info, emergency contact info, etc).

What is your favorite cat toy?

I’ve found that most cats will love interactive toys. This is also great for bonding with kitties and getting kitties to trust you. I love the Da Bird brand very much. For more solo play, I’ve found that springs are very popular. Some cats, like mine, actually like playing fetch with springs.

Joanna was very conscientious, asked lots of questions in advance, and made sure I had a cat carrier available in case of an emergency. Joanna took good care of Mingo while I was away. She gave her lots of love and brushing and sent updates with photos each visit. Joanna was able to give Mingo her steroid pills, which required prying her mouth open and stuffing them down, not an easy feat and very much appreciated.

Joanna is truly an exceptional cat sitter, and I cannot rate her highly enough. I 100% recommend her. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond in every possible way. I needed a cat sitter for two weeks and she covered it all so seamlessly. She checked in with me every single day before arriving, let me know exactly what was done during each visit, sent many photos every time, and followed up again when she left each visit. Her level of communication and attention to detail is unmatched and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She is incredibly respectful of instructions, thoughtful, and genuine. Joanna really went above & beyond putting in extra effort into building trust with my cat. My cat was not entirely friendly during the first solo visit (due to stress of me being away), but Joanna remained patient and intentional, finding ways to make her feel more comfortable and cared for. She communicated everything to me quickly and clearly. That kind of intention, care, and dedication is rare and I feel so lucky to have had Joanna as the caregiver for my cat! Joanna is, without a doubt, a 10/10 in every sense. I genuinely cannot imagine a better sitter and will absolutely be rehiring her for any and all future needs for my cat. If you’re looking for someone reliable, communicative, and truly invested in the well-being of your cat, Joanna is 100% the best choice you could make.

One of the best cat sitters we've ever used. Feeding and litter cleaning all as requested. Punctual and consistently timed visits with clear and timely updates/photos. We felt our cats to be in great hands. Joanna won our shy cats over within a couple of visits.

Joanna went above and beyond for my two pets! I appreciate her questions during our meet and greet (stuff I didn’t think about) and I love how she interacted with my cats. Joanna is on top of it, and I would absolutely recommend! Your pets are in fantastic hands with her.

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.

If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with 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. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet!
