Learn More About Jessica

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

I have had cats all my life and am always happy to watch other people’s cats as well. I remember cat sitting for family friends as a kid and still remember those cats names from 30 some years ago. I kitty sat for several years for two cats here in Eagle River whenever their Mom traveled on weekends or out of state as she was in the Navy. I have also house sat for people in Valdez and Anchorage with both dogs and cats. I make sure to clean food and water bowls or fountains, scoop boxes, sweep, clean around food bowls, give catnip and treats, play and spend as much time as possible with each kitty so then don’t feel lonely. I look out for any health problems such as urinary blockages, constipation, diarrhea or URIs. I have been sitting for 25 years.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I currently have 4 cats: “Pooch” who is the senior kitty but still races around. We believe he is a Norwegian Forest Cat mix. He is huge, fluffy and regal. He has hyperthyroidism and gets medication daily. “Belle” is a dilute tortoise shell with a naturally bobbed tail. She might be an American Bobtail cat. Her tail is permanently kinked in a fluffy curl. She has feline asthma and we help her get her puff from the inhaler every day. “Sassafras” is our most recent rescue boy. He is a striking grey and black tabby with white feet and bib. “Tiberius” is our baby boy whom we rescued as a kitten. He is all black and very mischievous and energetic. I I have had five other wonderful cats over my lifetime.

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

I would always meet someone before hiring them to care for my cats. I would also want to make sure they had good reviews or references if I did not know them already. My cats are family and I would not be comfortable with a random stranger in my home and being responsible for my babies. I would want to know they are aware of common health issues in cats and also make sure they show interest in my cat’s personality and any health problems. If they don’t show interest or have any knowledge of these conditions they may not pay close attention when I am gone and notice signs of trouble. Cats are very good at hiding pain or illness so it important a cat sitter understands this and knows what to look for. Finally I would want to know they are a “cat person” who understands and appreciates cats.

From the moment of our first contact with Jessica, it was clear that her first priority is to love and care for our two elderly cats during our absence. Jessica is extremely detail oriented and ensured that she knew everything about our home and our kitties. She was super diligent about giving medicine, ensuring security, and giving them their food and treats. just as importantly, she went the extra mile to engage with them, cuddle them, and play with them. She even brought her own laser toy! With it, she got our 14 year old boys romping like kittens! Jessica is loving and extremely responsible, and for sure, we will invite her back into our home any time! You will be very pleased if you ask her to care for your feline friends. We would trust her with anything precious to us and our family.

Jess is one of the most wonderful people I have ever met. I feel very thankful that she is a part of my life. I know my boys couldn't be in better hands when they are with her. She gives them lots of love and playtime, and I'm so thankful to have someone like her!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Eagle River cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $23.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
