Jodi's Loving Cat Care - Marin

I'm Jodi

Cat Sitting in San Rafael, CA

I am a cat lover at heart and own 3 at the moment (Monkey, Crimson, & Weasley), but have had 3 others over the past 30 years. I've also owned 3 dogs and 3 hamsters.

I have absolutely loved meeting so many new cats and their parents being a part of Meowtel. It brings me such joy to be able to care for your kitties while you are away.

I tend to be a cat whisperer and even the most shy cat ends up liking me. I am able to understand their body language and am patient giving them time to trust me. I give you my promise that I would treat your cats as if they were my own...

I tend to be a cat whisperer and even the most shy cat ends up liking me. I am able to understand their body language and am patient giving them time to trust me. I give you my promise that I would treat your cats as if they were my own.

I have experience with many different personalities of cats, feeding cats in separate areas with separate food, as well as giving meds such as topicals on food and on your cat, eye drops and ointments, oral meds, and as well as injections.

I am detail oriented and will be certain to read and listen to all of your instructions thoroughly.

I will go the extra step to make sure your cat is happ and that you are stress free when away. I'm happy to grab any mail or packages and water any plants. I will be certain to provide your kitties excellent care that and will clean up any hairballs or other cat messes if found. I am also very thorough in cleaning boxes and will sweep up any tracked litter.

I am a quick and clear communicator and will send photos and videos of your cats during my visit.

Please message me with any questions or concerns. I look forward to having the pleasure of taking care of your feline family!

Jodi was amazing with my cats. My cats usually hide from the cat sitters or other people they don't know well and they felt so comfortable with Jodi that they didn't do that at all. She played with them and gave them treats each time she visited. She sent videos and photos every time she was at my house and the cats looked really happy! She was very friendly, communicative and gave updates regularly.

Our reservation with Jodi was an excellent experience for all. She did everything we asked of her and more, including handling unplanned problems. She sent us photos of the kittens every day. They warmed up to her right way. We were able to relax on our vacation. Thanks!

Jodi was an incredible sitter for our kitty Maisie and bunny Max. She's super detail-oriented and had a comprehensive list of questions for me at our meet and greet. She visited 2x daily and sent texts and photos/videos of my babies every time. We had some unexpected issues at home - including an interruption in our water service - and she notified me immediately and offered to bring bottled water until we could have it repaired. I could tell right away that Jodi is a cat lover and truly enjoys caring for these precious darlings while their owners are away. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Thanks Jodi!

Jodi is amazing! My cats fell in love with her immediately. Her texts and photos throughout my time away gave me such peace of mind. She even gave my cat his meds with no problem. I have already booked Jodi for more visits. I highly recommend!

If you need a cat sitter, go with Jodi! My cat had injured himself right before my 10 day trip. She administered meds and sent updates. She took such good care of my precious boys. I am so glad I trusted her, she is prompt, communicative, effective, and wonderful. 100/10 experience. Thank you Jodi!

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 Rafael cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $41.00. 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!
