Learn More About Jen

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been pet sitting for years for family and friends. I have taken care of cats, dogs, turtles, rats, and ferrets. My favorite is pet sitting for cats though!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy getting to meet new cats. I have such a connection with cats that even with 4 cats of my own, I love that I have the opportunity of getting to know more cats!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

Not a specific reservation, but I do love it when a client tells me about their elusive or shy cat and how they probably won’t come out for me—and then they do come out for me. I am lucky enough to be a cat whisperer, or a person with strong cat energy, and often, even shy cats know that they trust me to respect their boundaries and care for them.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have lived with cats all my life. Currently, we have 4 feline roommates, all rescue cats:: Scout (11 years) Lulu (7 years) Bella (5 years) Betty (5 years) Lulu was a bottle 3 week old bottle baby we found abandoned in a tree stump in the middle of the woods. Scout was adopted from a local rescue. Betty and Bella are both foster failures from our time fostering during the COVID-19 lockdown.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Most people are able to care for cats, but I look for people who connect with cats when I’m choosing a cat sitter.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I am usually available during holidays. I keep my availability schedule up to date with any dates I am unavailable.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I enjoy playing with a wand toy with my cats. I also have a cat who plays fetch with her favorite toy. I’ve found that play is often the key to a cat’s heart and I am happy to spend time playing with them and their favortite toy.

Jen was amazing! I was hesitant to leave my two cats for a week, but she calmed all my nerves with her kind and caring demeanor and daily updates. I looked forward every day to seeing the pictures and videos of my cats and I am so grateful that I chose her to watch them!

Jen was reliable and came to the house when she said she would. She communicated with me routinely and sent wonderful photos and videos. Her messages to me about my kitties were so kind. She did a wonderful job and I will look forward to working with Jen more in the future!

Jen was great! She got our very anxious kitty to warm up quickly and even took care of some house sitting tasks for us, as well. I really appreciated her frequent photos and videos while we were away!

My reservation with Jen was for 12 days recently. She was fabulous with my three cats. Not only did she take care of them with feeding and cleaning the litter boxes, she played with them, brushed them, and gave them her quality time. Additionally, she picked up my mail and put out by trash containers for me. If you are thinking about going with Meowtel, I recommend Jen 100%!!! I will definitely be using her services again.

Jen is wonderful!! She goes above and beyond, makes sure our cats get wonderful care and love while we are away and also plays the role of house sitter. I was able to relax and enjoy vacation knowing Jen was taking care of our babies. She’s the best.

Frequently Asked Questions

Newark cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $24.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
