Learn More About Jessica

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! I’m around for the holidays. While you’re out celebrating, I’ll make sure your cats get extra love, playtime, and a cozy buddy so they don’t feel left out of the festivities.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite toys are the classic “fishing rod” style ones - basically anything that lets me unleash a cat’s inner jungle panther. Nothing beats watching them stalk, pounce, and absolutely destroy a toy like it’s a life-or- death mission.

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

With timid or anxious cats, I always let them set the pace. I love calmly, give them plenty of space, and avoid forcing interactions. I’ll hang out nearby, offer treats as peace offerings, and stick to their routine so they feel safe. Over time, patience and predictability help them relax and trust me.

I'd not used Meowtel previously, so was a bit worried about making sure my two cats were well-cared for. That worry disappeared basically immediately. Jessica took time to make my cats comfortable with her, she made sure their food, litterbox, and medicine needs were tended to, and she spent time playing with and petting them. They warmed up to her quickly and based on the videos she sent of them purring away whilst she pet them, it's clear they decided pretty quickly that she had the four-foot seal of approval. I would have zero hesitation about leaving them in Jessica's care again.

Jessica did a great job watching my two kitties. She engaged with them and made sure they had food and water each day.

Jessica is like a gift from the universe. Someone you can instantly trust, super smart, she gets life and gets "the cat" mentality. She's a kind and giving person and already like family. I feel like this is really a gift to me, that my four kitties instantly claimed her as their own new mommy. Temporary mommy -- but they don't know that when I walk out the door with a suitcase. Travel is hard but she made it so easy. Thank you, Jessica. (Ronnie misses your flip flops!)

Animal lover of all animals, but she’s definitely a cat lady. She’s always on time, if she has a job to do she’s going to do it the right way. She’s a great cat sitter. She is able to give medications and she has the patience to do it without a problem.

Frequently Asked Questions

San Diego cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $32.00. 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.
