Learn More About Josh

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

Several years now and I love meeting new cats since they are all so different.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Befriending stranger cats as it is super rewarding when my clients say, "He or she is usually not this nice to strangers!" I am not always a cat whisperer but have been known to have unfriendly or shy cats cuddle up to me, eventually.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

It's really about the cat more than it is about the home, as nothing beats a super friendly cuddle bug who just wants to sit in my lap and purr the whole time!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a blind siamese named Miss Burlington. She was a feral cat living in a cat colony behind a Burlington Coat Factory in CA and was driven up here as I've always had blind cats.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Read the reviews before hand, and also feel confident to voice your expectations to the sitter before the booking starts.

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

I always take it really slow going in and out, and make double-sure all doors are locked and all cats are safe. I've had over 200 bookings and have never had a cat escape or be harmed in any way.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes I am, usually, though I do charge more for these periods.

What is your favorite cat toy?

plastic coils but a cat dancer is always good, as it a plastic tunnel if you have one. Then again, you also can't go wrong with any wand toy.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I just take it slow and let them come to me, as cats are the ones in control of that interaction.

Josh is the best cat sitter we’ve ever encountered. I would recommend Josh in anything he sets out to do! If you are down in California, and you are lucky, Josh will return to Meowtel and befriend your fur children! My cat is mellow and relaxed thanks to regular visits with Josh when we’re away.

Josh took great care of our cats while we were away! We are repeat customers. We received several photos and videos of our cats during each visit, updates on if their eating habits, and confirmations of cleaned litter boxes. We really enjoyed how responsive and communicative he was (confirming timing for each day and reminders as the appointment approached). He made us feel calm knowing that our kitties were in good care while we were away.

Josh is and always has been an absolutely fantastic Cat Sitter for me and my two kitties. He responds quickly to reservations, answers questions, promptly, and sends wonderful updates when he visits the cats. He is always patient and gentle with my cat who needs medication.

We can’t thank Josh enough for checking in on our kitty while we were staying at the hospital for our baby’s birth. Josh is always super communicative and flexible. He even added another last minute return visit when we needed him to check in on our kitty a second time. Josh’s care made all the difference in helping us focus whilst knowing our kitty was in good hands with a super cat sitter.

Josh was amazing with my kitties! I had a slight mix-up about the date I was returning home. Josh was flexible in taking care of my cats for one extra day - I was able to modify my reservation with no problem. He also went above and beyond when I missed taking out one of my litter champs. It filled up over my vacation and Josh was super kind in taking care of it with a little instruction. His updates were highlights of my vacation. I've saved so many photos he sent me. He really got to know my cats and took the time to figure out their quirks; able to draw them out of their shells.

Josh was absolutely amazing in watching our cat on our recent trip out of town. He communicated before, during, and after each visit which gave us the peace of mind to know that our kitty was being well taken care of. Josh is an expert in caring for cats. He was able to approach our shy kitty and get him to open up by day 3. By day 4, they were best friends.

Josh is the best cat sitter! We have two shy kitties who like to hide and Josh goes above and beyond to find them and make sure they are ok. He is also a Litter Robot master who was able to troubleshoot ours when being temperamental. He takes numerous photos and videos and provides detailed updates which really helps put our minds at ease when out of town. Josh is also proactive thinking and indentifying potential issues and then going out of his way to mitigate before they become a problem. Could not recommend him more!

Josh far exceeded my expectations through his conscientious attention to detail, diligent and honest communication before and after each visit, photos documenting just about everything, and providing plenty of affection and play for my little one.

Josh is a great catsitter! We went on vacation for 9 days and decided to hire a professional cat sitter since our cat Licorice is on a hypoallergenic diet and needed half a steroid pill each day for his IBS symptoms. Josh went out of his way to wrap each pill in hypoallergenic wet food as opposed to a pill pocket which can sometimes worsen IBS symptoms. He also sent us regular updates about his visiting schedule as well as daily photos and videos of Licorice. As a first time cat parent, it was so great to get all these updates and see that Licorice was doing well while being on vacation. Josh even reached out when he realized he would not have enough medicine to cover the last couple of visits (Licorice had just reached the end of his prescribed steroid treatment). I highly recommend him!

Before confirming my reservation, I was able to meet Josh for a min-interview. I found him friendly, forthcoming, cat-knowledgeable, and cat-enthusiastic. During his visits, he sent me pics and videos every day. He was responsive to my concerns, accommodating and really a true partner in caring for my cats. I would recommend him highly to anyone looking for a sitter.

Did a great job watching my cat! Sent pics every time he came by and was very careful to give her meds at the exact time she’s supposed to have them. Went above and beyond (watered my plants, and left my key in a padlock when there wasn’t an easy way to do key drop off). Will definitely hire again!

Josh was an extremely thorough and thoughtful cat sitter! He sent regular updates, tons of adorable photos of our cat, and made sure to ask questions as needed. I definitely will be using Josh again!

We reserved Josh as our sitter for our two cats. He was great starting from the initial meet and greet until we returned. Josh was a great communicator throughout the entire process. He let us know how our cats were doing through messaging and photos, which we greatly appreciated. We highly recommend Josh and would definitely reserve him as a sitter again!

Frequently Asked Questions

Seattle cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. 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.
