I'm Jessica

Cat Sitting in Washington, DC

Hi, I’m Jess! I’m a lifelong cat lover and proud cat mom to two cats of my own, so I know just how special our furry family members are. ❤️

When you’re away, I’ll make sure your kitties get plenty of love, attention, and playtime so they never feel forgotten! Whether it’s chasing their favourite toys, enjoying some cuddles (if they’re up for it!), or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get the human in...
Hi, I’m Jess! I’m a lifelong cat lover and proud cat mom to two cats of my own, so I know just how special our furry family members are. ❤️

When you’re away, I’ll make sure your kitties get plenty of love, attention, and playtime so they never feel forgotten! Whether it’s chasing their favourite toys, enjoying some cuddles (if they’re up for it!), or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get the human interaction they need while you’re gone.

I’ll also keep their food and water bowls full and fresh, clean their litter trays, and make sure they’re happy and comfortable in their own home. 🐾

My goal is to give your cats the care and attention they deserve while giving you peace of mind knowing your fur babies are in loving hands. 🥰

I can’t wait to meet your kitties and give them some extra love while you’re away! 🐈💕

Learn More About Jessica

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 2 cats, Bento and Billy. Bento is 9 years old and Billy is 4 years old. Bento is black and grey while Billy is all black. They are super cuddly and they love each other as well!

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I like to do a free in person visit with the cat parent present if possible. If not possible then I like to do a video call. Letting the cat parent introduce the cats builds trust and security.

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

I always let cats come to me and I never force an interaction. I ensure they feel safe in their environment and build their trust.

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.

Washington 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 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!
