Learn More About Jannet
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have 10+ years of hands-on cat-care experience, including 5+ years professionally cat sitting. I’m especially comfortable caring for shy, anxious, senior, and medication-dependent cats. I understand that every cat has their own personality and boundaries, so I always let them set the pace.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love earning a cat’s trust—especially the shy ones! There’s nothing better than seeing a cat who spent the first few visits hiding eventually come out to greet me. I enjoy giving each cat personalized attention while keeping their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
When working with a new cat parent, after they have booked their reservation, I like to start with a meet-and-greet to get to know their cat’s personality, routine, and specific needs. I ask questions about feeding, litter box habits, favorite toys, and any health concerns. I also go over home care instructions and how they’d like to receive updates. During the sitting, I stick closely to the established routine and provide regular communication with photos and notes. My goal is to ensure both the cat and their parent feel comfortable, safe, and supported from start to finish.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
Safety is always a priority. I carefully follow your instructions, secure doors and windows, handle keys responsibly, and double-check everything before leaving. I also monitor eating, drinking, litter-box habits, medications, and behavior so I can quickly let you know if I notice anything unusual.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes! I’m usually available during major holidays and understand how important it is to have reliable care when you travel. I recommend booking early to secure your preferred dates, as holiday spots fill quickly. Your kitty’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. 🐾✨

Jannet went above and beyond to care for our cat. Our cat requires medication and Jannet was not only confident about administering the doses, she also sent updates about how the meds had been mixed into our cat’s food- and how much she had eaten. Our cat is also quite skittish and needs a lot of patience. Jannet was very kind and took time to get to know her, and she even sent photos to document their time together. I’ve never used Meowtel before and it was a first for me to hand over my key to a stranger, but the experience was wonderful! I would recommend Jannet to anyone looking for a cat sitter who truly cares about her role and the impact she has on cats and kittens. I will definitely ask for Jannet’s help the next time I’m out of town- she’s the best!

Jannet was such a kind and caring cat sitter for our two girls! Cricket needed pills every day for her lymphoma as well as extra clean up when she had accidents outside the litter box, and Jannet was so good at both. She sent thorough updates every day, and I could tell that very quickly the cats were warming up to her and enjoying her company. I was very impressed how good she was at giving our cat pills, especially on her own. Since our cat is actively taking a chemotherapy medicine she cannot be boarded anywhere, so I don't know what we would have done without Jannet's help. I would recommend her for any cats with extra needs, and she was also great with our healthier cat!

I had to find someone last minute to care for my 4-month-old kitten, Elliot, while I was traveling for work — and Janet was an absolute lifesaver. Elliot was on three antibiotics and needed a lot of attention, but Janet went above and beyond. She stayed with him for about 12 hours a day, giving him incredible care and making sure he was comfortable, playful, and well looked after. Her attention to detail and genuine compassion really stood out. I would use her again in a heartbeat!

Thank you so much, Michael! It was an absolute pleasure caring for Elliot—he’s such a sweet, playful kitten. I’m so glad I could help while you were away, and I’d love to look after him again anytime. 🐾

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.
Los Angeles cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $36.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.
Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a 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 Meet & Greet!

100% recommend!!! Jannet is 100% trustworthy. I am a helicopter cat mom and Jannet made me feel very at ease. She quickly picked up on the different personalities of my two boys and catered to them individually. ensuring they were both cared for. Jannet is also incredibly communicative, checking in, sending pictures of supervised — my request— window time, and ensuring my boys and I were comfortable and secure the entire stay. She changed liter boxes, took out trash (above and beyond) and is a joy! I trust Jannet with my home and my fur babies and am happy to highly recommend her with your cats as well!
Response from Jannet
Thank you so much, Chel! I truly appreciate your trust and kind words. Caring for Leo and Henry was a pleasure, and I’m so glad the updates and photos helped you feel comfortable and at ease throughout your time away💛

We had such a great experience with Jannet! She was incredibly patient with Munji and took the time to let her warm up at her own pace. Throughout the stay, she really helped Munji come out of her shell and made her feel comfortable and safe. We loved receiving her detailed daily updates—they always made us feel reassured and connected while we were away. She even went above and beyond by staying a little longer when Munji didn’t want her to leave, which meant so much to us. We’d absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, caring, and reliable cat sitter!
Response from Jannet
Thank you so much, Michelle. Caring for Munji truly meant a lot to me. Watching her warm up and trust me was so special. I appreciate your kindness and would love to care for her again anytime in the future.

Our adopted cat is VERY attached to us- so naturally leaving town for the first time was a very stressful experience for us and our cat. Jannet was communicative and helped us feel well taken care of while we were gone. It was certainly a learning experience (our cat probably needs meds to help with stress when we are gone.) But Jannet’s ability to take her ques off the cat’s body language made me confident that the experience was not adding to our spicy girl’s stress levels.

It was time for me to find a pet sitter I could use for vacations instead of relying on friends. Difficult for me as a control freak but Jannet really put my mind at ease. She was meticulous in her visit and in her contact with me while I was gone. Very comforting. We will definitely be using Jannet again.!
