About Joanne

Hello!
I'm Joanne. I'm in my mid thirties, living in northern suburbs of Melbourne.


I'm a social worker, I love reading, exploring, beach days and catching up with friends. I love all animals but I love the personalities of cats the best.
When I was little I wasn't allowed any pets so I used to feed the stray cats and make them ours as well as take care of and walk all of my neighbours dogs.

My cat, Lucien, recently passed away. It was sudden and devastating. He was my world.

I originally signed up to Pawshake so I could arrange for care for him, and I registered myself to cat sit also, but no one ever contacted me. Then about three days after he passed away I got my first request for cat sitting. My optimistic friends say that that is him and the universe making sure I get kitty cuddles to heal my heart. ❤️ I have lots of love to give to any kitty that wants it!

I am offering to visit your cat at your house for up to an hour per visit.

I will play with them, feed, clean the litter and give lots of kitty cuddles if they want them. I am a plant lover - so can take care of yours as needed. Happy to bring in mail, open blinds, close blinds etc.

I like to have a brief chat beforehand, where I meet your cat/s, get the run down and get to know you a little.

For longer stays, I am open to hosting your cat at my house. Will just need kitty litter and food provided.


I have some experience giving oral medication, but would prefer to discuss this on a case by case basis.

I like to send a report card each time I visit. I'm also happy to send text updates and photos as agreed. I know how much we can worry about our pets when we're away. 😊

I live in Reservoir and work in Thomastown. I would prefer to care within a 30 min radius of this area, but open to discuss if you're a bit further away.

Highly recommend Joanne! Her communication was fantastic, including sending photos of our cats during her visit. The cats clearly loved her, and we arrived home so happy boys. Thanks again Joanne!

I’m a cat owner.. I have adopted two cats. And as mentioned I used to befriend the strays. I’ve minded my friends and family’s cats and dogs as well. I’m approachable when meeting a new cat.. I take it at their pace, let them smell me, talk to them calmly etc.
