Hello! My name is Jose Ruiz, but you can call me Freddy. I am 23 years old and I am a part-time aftercare worker at a school and at Home Depot and I would love to to care for your cat.
There’s nothing more I enjoy than cuddling and relaxing with my cats. I make sure they they are treated as they want to be, not as I want.

For conducting cat sitting visits, I will take careful notes of what you request and make sure to be there on time, or usually early in case anything happens. If you also want me to water some plants or feed another pet (say a turtle or fish ), it would my pleasure. I’ll do everything my power to make you and your cat happy.

I feel like what sets me apart from others is that your cat will not be a number in my eyes, but my boss, and I their assistant.

Thank you! I hope to meet you!

Learn More About Jose

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

I am new to cat sitting, but I have always taken care of my cats for about 8 amazing years now.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two cats, Francis and Coco. They are amazing cats, though Coco is a very picky eater, eating strictly temptation treats and drinking from water pouring from a sink. They are very beautiful in my eyes, and I love them with all my heart.

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

I don’t force myself towards the cat, but instead let the cat approach me at their own pace. We all have experienced anxiety, and the last thing I want when im anxious is getting my personal space taken up.

My experience having Jose care for my 2 cats while I was away was fantastic! His communication was stellar - he sent updates and pictures every day. It really gave me peace of mind while I was gone. I will 100% be working with him again in the future.

Freddy is the kind of cat sitter every fur parent dreams of - he's the kind of person who can make a cat purr and a human laugh in the same breath. He's a true cat whisperer who brings warmth, humor, and unwavering care into every visit. Freddy's loyalty and strong values shine through in how deeply he respects both pets and people. Whether he's earning the trust of a shy kitty or cracking a joke while tidying the litter box, Freddy's playful spirit and genuine love for animals make him a favorite of cats and their humans alike.

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 Pierce cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $21.00. 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!
