I'm Jodi
Cat Sitting in San Rafael, CA
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 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 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.

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!

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!

Jodi was amazing!! This was my first experience with Meowtel, and I’m so glad I could book Jodi. Our cat Dolly uses automatic wet food feeders (ice packs) which can be complicated, but she managed them like a pro. Jodi was always right on time, so friendly, and Dolly immediately loved her. I so appreciated her communication and updates also! I was nervous at first but I must say I now prefer using Meowtel vs. friends/family watching our kitty, and it doesn’t put a burden on asking them for help either. 🙂

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:
- More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
- 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.

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 $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!

Jodi was exceptional with our two cats while we were on vacation. The meet and greet was very helpful and I could tell instantly that she was a cat whisperer. She asked a lot of questions and took detailed notes on the routine/care instructions. She is a very warm, responsible, trustworthy, and gentle person. Our cats instantly took a liking to her, and we felt at total peace leaving them in her care. Jodie was very punctual and let us know when she would be by the house every day. She sent plenty of pictures and videos to let us know how the cats where doing and I could tell that our babies were safe and loved while we were gone. When we got home we were especially impressed with how tidy the litter area was kept. I would recommend Jodi to anyone/everyone! She will take good care of your babies, and treat your home with respect.

Jodi watched my senior kitty while I was out of town for a long weekend. She was super communicative and sent me all the details about what my kitty was up to so that I felt comfortable leaving him home. She was very thorough asking for feeding and care instructions. She is so sweet, and It is obvious that she really enjoys caring for kitties too. I 100% recommend her, and I will call her again!

Jodie was amazing and I will 100% use her again! This was our first time leaving our kitty alone since her sister passed away in Dec. It was really stressful for us but Jodie made it much easier with her arrival/departure updates, photos of kitty and plenty of pets and love for her. Thanks Jodie!

Jodi was incredible. It was our first time with a cat sitter & we were a little anxious as we have one very fussy cat who is super shy & the other very curious. They LOVED her immediately. Jodi was incredibly caring & kept in daily communication. We came back to very happy cats. Thank you Jodi.

Jodi is a fantastic cat sitter. She has taken care of our four cats and they clearly had a blast with her. Jodi sent us photos/videos and detaled descriptions of each visit, which has given us a lot of peace of mind while out of town. We feel lucky to have found Jodi for our fur babies and us.

Jodi was everything you would want in a cat sitter. Friendly, responsible, attentive, and caring. She took care of our kitties while we were gone this past week. She texted every visit letting us know when she was arriving. She would send photos and videos of the cats playing and would let us know that everything was good. We are so fortunate to have found Jodi as would recommended her to anyone looking for a cat sitter in the future.

A 5-star rating doesn’t begin to cover the value of Jodi’s care and experience. My cats are very comfortable around her. She is prompt, responds quickly to requests, and sends the best photos and videos of my cats. I miss them a tiny bit less knowing they are in great hands.
