I know that every cat has a mind of their own, from the cuddle-bugs to the cautious. I meet them where they’re at - offering play, affection, or just quiet company when they need space.
During visits, I take care of the essentials (feeding, fresh water, litter) and add some playtime, brushing, and careful attention to behavior. I’m also experienced with administering medications, from pills to topical treatments. You’ll get regular updates and photos, so you always know your cat is happy and safe.
Whether is a quick check-in or extended care, I balance responsibility and genuine care, and treat every cat with patience, humor, and plenty of love.
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.

Jessica was a fantastic cat sitter for my two young cats. In addition to taking care of their basic food/water/litter box needs, she supervised them while letting them enjoy the patio (their favorite) and gave them tons of love!

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 was amazing. I was SO afraid to leave my cats with a cat sitter. She was so understanding and so accommodating. She has a beautiful, peaceful, and strong energy. My cats responded so well to her (even my very shy cat). I will definitely be hiring her again! Jessica is the best and truly a cat lover! Thank you for loving on my babies! 🐈⬛💗🐈⬛

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!)

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.
San Diego cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $32.00. 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!

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.
