Learn More About Jodi

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to hang out with kitties and to form long term relationships with them. Since my husband has severe allergies, my cat sitting clients are the closest thing to having my own kitties.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

One of my favorite cat sitting jobs was with a senior cat who was known to keep to himself or hide when sitters come by. He ended up following me around and checking to make sure I was doing a good job. Since then, I have sat for him many times and we've played with toys, had conversations where he talks a lot and one time he even came running to the door to greet me.

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

Ask lots of questions! You can get a good feeling about the sitter by asking questions. Scheduling a meet and greet is crucial to assess the sitter's confidence in caring for your kitties and your home.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I like to verify times and dates and get an idea about their service expectations. If I believe that we are a good fit, I like to set up a meet and greet ASAP. I prefer if all household members are available for the meet and greet, but it's okay if that doesn't work out. I make sure that I understand exactly what is expected of me. I explain what a typical visit will be like from when I enter and greet their cats to when I lock up and leave. I am always available for follow up questions/instructions before and during the sitting.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I never leave doors or windows open. I keep the keys and my phone on my person at all times during the visit so I don't accidentally lock myself out while taking out trash, watering outdoor plants, etc. I expect to have a visual on each cat at each visit no matter how shy they are. I will ask where their normal hiding places are. I monitor the food intake and how much they are eliminating each day to measure their health and stress level.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am often available during holidays. I prefer to book my regular/repeat clients during the holiday seasons, but am happy to take new clients if I am able to schedule around my regulars. My normal holiday rate is+ 10% MLK through Labor day, and then 30% October through New years day. Clients who have booked with me 4 or more times in the preceding year will receive a 15% off coupon for booking during the 30% increase holidays to reduce the overall holiday fee

What is your favorite cat toy?

I especially enjoy playing with all of the fishing pole type toys. I love seeing their little faces get so surprised when I move the toy. I've also seen some amazing acrobats from some of my kitty clients while playing with the pole toys.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

Many cats prefer seeing the same caregivers vs a new person all the time. I strive to keep my client base small in order to offer my clients the best service availability. I speak kindly and lovingly to the more timid kitties. I try to keep their care as consistent as to what they are accustomed to. When all the regular chores are done, I will sit near the shyer cats and just hang out so that they get used to me.

13 days this trip! It was the longest we have ever left Stella. Jodi was her usual, responsible, responsive, positive caregiver for out cat. We are so lucky to have connected with Jodi through Meowtel and appreciate all of the little things she does while we are gone.

Rainy weather and a shy kitty doesn’t affect the excellent service provided by Jodi! She has stuck with it on her efforts to win over Stella and this time Stella came out and supervised Jodi’s work. Thank you Jodi for always providing top notch care.

Jodi was fantastic. She knew I left earlier (me being the primary caretaker of our cat) and my husband left out supplies for her—and she let me know all was great on day one! Love her notes and photos!

Jodi was great with both my cats who have very different personalities. My shy cat warmed up quicker than I have ever see when Jodi came to meet them. Lot so updates and very attentive to the details. I knew they were well cared for and this was wonderful.

Another great cat sitting experience with Jodi! Our cat is very shy and she still finds a way to get photos to let us know she is doing well.

Jodi was our first sitter with Meowtel, and we were thrilled beyond expectations. Her communication was outstanding especially as our cat is very shy and reluctant with strangers. We also had gate issues at the time and Jodi handled spur of the moment necessary changes for entry without blinking an eye. We feel fortunate that our cat, Stella has a wonderful caregiver when we are out of town.

Jodi did really well. My cats had fun with her and from her photo updates, my cats loves her and I am glad my babies are feeling comfortable and taken care of when we are away. I like how she take notes, and very attentive to basics of what my cat would need if we are gone. I will have her again as my cat sitter if we went somewhere again and my cat needs to be taken care of. Highly recommend her! I will also pass my word to my friends if they are in need of one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Poway cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $33.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
