Learn More About Jodie

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

I have been a Cat Mom for 25 years, and have done cat sitting on and off since 2012. I have cat sitted for friends, family and neighbors. I have also volunteered at various No-Kill Shelters and SPCAs.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 5 rescue kitties, from ages young adult to senior kitties. They are my best friends and I adore them all! Their names are Daisy (age 15 years), Mia (age 15 years), Zan (age 3 years), Rocket (age 3 years) and Groot (age 3 years). I hope to rescue more fur babies in the future.

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

The main traits that I look for when hiring a pet sitter are: reliable, responsible and easy to communicate with. Having a reliable and responsible cat sitter is an absolute MUST! I want them to care for my kitties as if they were their own. Personally I also like to receive daily photos so that I can see that they are doing ok! These traits are the bare minimum and are traits that I offer as a Cat Sitter.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I take the time to go through each room of the home to make sure everything is safe and secure. I locate each fur baby (looking in any hiding spots) to make sure they are all doing OK and accounted for.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am available during all holidays!

What is your favorite cat toy?

My kitties love to have their toys sprayed with catnip! They go crazy!!

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

For kitties that are timid and anxious, I go very slow with them. I use a soft tone in my voice and try to create a warm environment for them to approach me at their comfort level.

If you want someone who is dependable, thorough, and caring, Jodie is the perfect person. We appreciate how she loves and treats our fur baby as one of her own.

Jodie was wonderful!! Upon meeting her we felt confident that she would take great care of our spoiled kitty. She is incredibly detail oriented and leaves lovely hand written notes for each day, in addition to text/photo updates. We could relax and enjoy our trip, knowing that all was well at home. She took care of everything we asked her to and we will definitely book her again in the future!

Jodie went so above and beyond for us and our kitty Daphne. my fiance and I were so impressed and can't say how much we appreciate Jodie. She is really just so incredible, unbelievably sweet and we are so grateful. she left us notes pages of how all of her visits went, and even though my cat is shy, Jodie never gave up on making sure she was comfortable and cared for. A+++!

We are very happy with Jodie and how she took care of our cats. We have 7 cats and she made sure to take a picture of every one of them. Our youngest, Cynder, was hiding and Jodie took the time to look under beds, chairs, etc. to find her to make sure she was safe. She send us pictures and detailed messages via texts and a nice note and checklist when we got home. We will definitely be reaching out to Jodie again the next time we take a trip.

Jodie was absolutely spectacular; I’ve never felt so comfortable leaving my kitty, Zara, while traveling. :) Jodie clearly adores cats and understands them! From the moment she took out a notepad during the meet and greet to take diligent notes, I knew she was going to be reliable. She went above and beyond to communicate with me and asked me questions about details that pleasantly surprised me! I’d 1000% recommend Jodie to anyone who wants complete peace of mind when leaving their kitties whole travelling. Zara gives her two paws up as well :)

Jodie is an absolutely amazing cat sitter! She took incredible care of our four cats while we were away, and it was clear from the start that she’s a true cat lover. We received daily updates with photos, which gave us such peace of mind knowing our fur babies were happy and well-cared for. Jodie is not only friendly and kind, but also super reliable. We’ll definitely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter!

Everything went great with Jodie. She was friendly and reliable to both people and our fur baby. She took detailed notes at the meet and greet, and we felt confident she would do a great job while we were away. We will definitely use her anytime we go away again in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

Deland cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
