Learn More About Jennifer
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have just begun my journey with cat sitting. We lost our own 2 kitties about 2 years ago after 18 wonderful years. And now my oldest is going off to college. So not only do I have a lot more love to give to your baby, but I now find myself with lots more time too.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
We lost our two litter buddies, alcachofa and palmito, two years ago. We had 18 wonderful years with them, as we watched them grow and develop with our human babies. My husband and I always say we had 4 kids and the kids say they had 3 siblings!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I find it is always best to let the kitty do their thing. If they are timid or anxious, you’ve got to let them be. Sometimes just having a human be in the room can be enough for them to feel safe and secure. If they don’t want to engage, that’s just ok!

Thanks Jennifer for reliably being there for Mia, hopefully she'll warm up more next time- she can be a bit shy. Appreciate the daily updates and photos!

Frequently Asked Questions

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.
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.
Redwood City cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $40.00. 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 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. 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 free Meet & Greet!

Jennifer CARES about her friends, family and pets. WHen we had an illness in the family she cooked for us and drove 40miles to check in and deliver food. She is a rockstar human. I would have her watch my cat without a second thought

Jennifer is, mature and trustworthy. I would happily have her cat sit, house sit, or send my child to her to be the caregiver of my kid.
