Cat Sitting in Jacksonville, FL
My experience?
My mom has rescued cats since I was born. From a child to an adult, I have learned how to communicate with cats and care for them. Now, with 18 cats of my own, I am very experienced with their care!! I am great at reading body language, respecting their boundaries, and understanding cats. And more than anything, I love cats. They are special and so unique in their own ways.
Specialized care?
I have experience with all types of cats.
Playful cats? I love playing! Using cat toys and getting some energy out is important. Im also not afraid of a little playful biting and scratching.
What about nervous/anxious cats? I completely understand. I am able to read their body language and give them time and space. It takes time for a cat to trust someone new, and I respect that.
Aggressive cats? Theyre usually stressed. And most importantly, they need a comfortable environment to calm down... Hello! Im Dove, an experienced cat sitter. I only do drop ins and no overnights, however I can drop in as many times as youd like. Read more to learn about me and my care methods!

Aggressive cats? Theyre usually stressed. And most importantly, they need a comfortable environment to calm down. I can immediately tell when a cat is going to resort to aggressive tactics such as scratching, growling, or biting, and I always back off immediately. I never approach or pet a cat that doesn’t want it.
What about disabled cats? I have the most experience with them! All my cats are rescues and have had their own conditions. I make sure to provide them with extra care, ensuring their health is prioritized.
To sum it up, I have experience with every type of cat. And depending on their personality, I treat every cat differently in terms of care, with the same amount of love and respect as every other cat!
Well, who am I?
In general, Im a very calm and kind person. My personality is best described as gentle, however I can be more energetic at times. My personal interests are animals, music, reading, drawing, and writing. I love artistic activities the most, and it has led me to become a very creative and unique person. In my spare time, I volunteer at the humane society with the cats. For my job, I work at pet supermarket.
Anything I do, animals are usually involved!
How do I feel about cats?
I love being with cats and taking care of them. Being trusted to take care of someone’s cat is a privilege and something I am excited to do. Cats are amazing, unique creatures that Ive always admired. My own cats have been there for me whenever I am down, and they mean the world to me. They are precious and special. I also simply love being with cats!
Every cat, no matter the personality, is special and deserves love.
How do I care for your cat?
When I am with your cat, their needs are my top priority. Adequate food and water is important, along with freshly scooped litter. Most importantly, I love connecting with cats and learning their unique personalities. I also want to mention that I am always on time and stay for as long as you want me to be there. Whatever you need me to do for your cat, I will do it. Scooping litter? Special feeding needs? Medication administering? I can do it all. And if you have any questions on my abilities, please ask!
Communication?
I understand worrying about your cat, and so I utilize top communication. If you feel worried, text me! And I always send a picture of your cat and a message describing the visit after each drop in. That way, you get updates on how your cat is doing, what got done, along with a picture so that you know theyre safe.
I want to stress that you can never communicate too much. I love to learn all about your cat, and anything you want to tell me is valued and important. In terms of care, if have specific ways you want your cat cared for, please let me know in detail! I want to follow their regular procedures so they are most comfortable.
How often can I text?
Please don’t worry about asking questions or texting me too much. Im happy to answer!! Notifications don’t bother me and I also completely understand asking questions. Text me anytime, about anything.
What do I need to know?
When reaching out to me, I need to know a few things. Times of drop ins + how long you want me to stay is necessary. Please describe feeding procedures, along with a description of any other tasks youd like me to do. Also, anything you want to let me know about your cat is appreciated. Although I will get to know them on my own, I always appreciate a heads up on how they normally act.
To conclude…
Overall, I will focus on your cat(s) and get to know them on a personal level to ensure they get the best care. Specialized treatment to each cat is crucial to their happiness. I am honored if you chose me to take care of your fur baby. Send me a message at any time if you are interested!
I love cats. They deserve quality care!
Learn More About Cecelia
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Cat sitting is something very special! However, what I enjoy most about cat sitting is getting to know your cat. I love learning each unique personality of every kitty, and watching them learn to trust me is always an exciting experience.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have 18 cats!! However, there are two cats of mine that I am especially bonded with. Luna is my favorite, (dont tell the others!) and I am very close with her. We understand each other on a deep level, and always try to cheer each other up when one of us is feeling down. My other cat that Im bonded to is named Monkey. (because he’s chunky!) Unlike Luna who is more docile and calm, Monkey is always looking for attention and wants to play. I love giving him affection, as he’s very enthusiastic about being pet. However, I love all my kitties! They are all so special to me.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes! I am usually available on holidays. I usually don’t do anything special for holidays. However, if you aren’t sure if I’ll be available, please ask!

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.
Jacksonville cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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!
