Learn More About Jannet

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

I’ve cared for cats for over 10 years, including many years as a devoted cat owner myself. For the past 5+ years I’ve also been cat sitting professionally, caring for felines of all ages, temperaments, and special needs. My experience includes daily visits, overnight stays, administering medication, and giving extra patience to shy or anxious kitties. I follow each cat’s routine closely and provide regular photo updates so you can travel worry-free. Your feline will be loved and treated like family every single visit. šŸ¾šŸ’›

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is forming a connection with each cat and earning their trust. Every cat has their own personality, and I love learning their quirks—whether it’s a favorite toy, a funny routine, or the way they ask for attention. It’s incredibly rewarding to see a shy cat slowly warm up or to provide comfort to one missing their owner. I also enjoy giving peace of mind to pet parents by keeping their cats safe, happy, and cared for while they’re away. It’s truly a job that fills my heart.

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?

I keep kitties safe by locking doors, securing keys, and following your exact instructions. I stay alert, give updates, and treat your home like my own. šŸ¾šŸ”‘

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. 🐾

Jannet took great care of my senior cat who requires medications twice per day! Jannet was caring and patient with my skeptical and slow-to-warm up cat. Communication and scheduling with Jannet were clear and easy and she sent updates with photos daily.

Janet was amazing with kitty Ray doing a difficult task of applying ointment right onto the eyeball. She did a perfect job and really went above and beyond to make sure it was. I will definitely go to get again for any kitty needs while I'm away!

Janet was an angel for kitty Ray. We had to put ointment directly onto her eyeball while I was away and Janet took care of that like a pro. We will definitely be requesting her again when the need arises!

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!
