Learn More About Janaine

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I just love all the different personalities that cats have. It’s so fun to get to know what they like and to make them feel loved while their humans are away.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes I have 2 that started out to be foster kittens at 8 weeks they are now a year and a half old. Fifi is a grey medium length hair and Pepe is a ghost tabby with medium length hair

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

With timid or anxious fur babies I allow them to take the lead. I will sit on the floor or chair and allow them to be curious and comfortable and come to me.

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.

Riverbank cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $28.00. 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!
