Jody's Purrfect Kitty Sitting

I'm Jody

Cat Sitting in Fort Lauderdale, FL

I have been a cat parent for 50 years!!! I LOVE cats - their independence, love (when they feel like being affectionate), and each kittie's individual personalities. My cats Lucy and Tux even walk with me when I walk Heidi, my dog.
We’re the talk of the neighborhood!
You can count on me to communicate regularly with you when you’re gone I usually can capture really good pictures and/or videos for you to enjoy when you’re away from home.
My integrity is of utmost importance to me. When I commit to a task, relationship, etc.....

My integrity is of utmost importance to me. When I commit to a task, relationship, etc...I give my whole heart into it.
I love all animals, plants and music, and have travelled a great deal. Now I’m happy being home with my fur babies. I will be sure to give lots of love to your fur children. I even bring along a particularly great cat toy. .
I’m partially retired, and am happy spending my time caring for fur people .
I live in Tamarac, and can go about an 8-10 mile radius; Coral Springs, Fort Lauderdale, Margate, Parkland, Plantation, Sunrise are some of the places I will service.
Looking forward to hearing from you and meeting your kitties 😸

Jody was wonderful sitter for our kitty Julius. She even brought a toy the first time we met to make him comfortable with her. She provided daily updates upon each visit. I will definitely hire her again.

Awesome experience! Jody was absolutely amazing and we couldn’t be happier with how she cared for both our cats. She came by prior to us leaving to meet our cats and even brought them a gift! We had adopted a younger cat about a week prior to our trip and she was incredible in how she cared for both! She communicated daily with updates and pictures on how they were doing, and I will definitely ask Jody to care for them again for all future trips! Five Stars! 😊

Jody is an AMAZING cat watcher! Jody is super detail oriented and made sure to listen as I told her about my cat Luna her food and litter routine as well as maneuvering her way around my apartment complex! Jody took out my cat’s litter daily, fed her her wet food and played with my cat daily. Jody even made sure to send me photos daily and videos too! Jody introduced Luna to her new toy, that she gifted her on her last visit, the “Cat Dancer” and she is OBSESSED with it. I can’t even recommend Jody and her services enough! I know the next time I am in need of a cat sitter, Jody will be the first person I call! I never had to worry about my cat and once for my whole Thanksgiving weekend. I truly felt like Luna was in the best hands with Jody!

If I could give Jody 10 stars, I would. She made me feel so comfortable right from the start. I don't trust just anybody to care for my kitties and was apprehensive at first to have a total stranger come into my home, but Jody alleviated all of my worries once I met her and my cats interacted with her. They came right out for her! Which they never do for anybody. She is a very kind and caring individual who pays attention to detail. She sent me constant photos and videos of my kitties while I was away. She even had her own salmon treats to give them. In fact, I don't think they missed me at all! I never worried about them for one second, and that is such a relief. I would highly recommend Jody and definitely plan on using her again. Thanks, Jody! Meow!

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.

Fort Lauderdale cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $23.00. 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!
