Self-Proclaimed Cat Whisperer 🐱
Hello! I'm Joanna, based in Leeds, LS4. I have grown up with cat(s) my whole life, and I pride myself in being able to read them and how they feel. One of my cats was quite shy and nervous, whilst my other cat was very friendly and all over you, so I'm used to dealing with cats of all personalities! I currently own two lovely and silly black cats who never fail to keep me entertained. I absolutely love spending time with cats, so if your cat is one which will want lots of attention and time, I'm very happy to stay a while and give them a good fuss and play with them. Equally, if your cat prefers to be left alone, I won't pester them.

Safety, trust & environment
I will ensure that your home left secure and clean after each booking. I'll wash up any dishes/utensils that may have been used for feeding, and if you'd like me to open/close any blinds or curtains or turn on and off lights I'm happy to do this.
Ratings and reviews
Joanna is a great cat sitter! I really appreciate how well she looks after Katja when I'm away, giving her lots of fuss and cuddles. Katja can be a bit of a grump but she clearly loves Joanna! She also sends a photo and message every day. Thanks for doing such a great job again!
Joanna was a brilliant sitter for Wilfred, very reliable and communicative and kept him fed, watered and entertained. A lovely person to deal with and highly recommended :)

Joanna was amazing with our cat Nina. I know she was really well taken care of plus I got lots of lovely photos and updates :)

Joanna looked after our cats for a couple of days. We met in advance of the visit so Joanna knew where everything was. Communication while we were away was fantastic and we came home to two very happy cats. I would definitely use Joanna to look after my cats again.


Joanna did a great job of looking after Katja while I was away. Katja can be quite shy but made friends with Joanna very quickly and I really appreciated Joanna spending extra time playing with her etc. Communication was easy and straightforward before I went away and I received a picture and update every day. Would happily recommend.
Joanna looked after Katja for 8 days in September 2019. She is obviously a natural with cats as my usually shy cat was immediately friendly with her. She came round before I went away to meet Katja and she sent regular updates while I was away. I returned to a happy cat and a nice clean home. I would be happy to recommend Joanna .

Schedule
I have availability to visit early in the mornings before I go to work, and in the evenings when I return from work. I occasionally work weekends, so this schedule would likely stay the same during the weekdays and weekends.
- CatsJoanna can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- Please let me know if your cat has any particular needs such as dietary requirements or grooming needs. For example if your cat has very long hair which needs maintenance to prevent matting, I'm happy to give them a good brush if it's something your cat is comfortable with!
