I'm Katie | Cat Sitting in Jacksonville, FL

Hey there, my name is Katie. I’m an experienced emergency veterinary technician and pet sitter in the Jacksonville area. My life has been centered around animals, and I’ve been working with them for the last ten years. Eight of these years have been spent in veterinary medicine, from working as a veterinary technician at the humane society for two years, to the last six years in emergency clinics. My work has allowed me to meet animals of all different personalities and under many different conditions, and I’ve spent this time making every effort to meet them where they are. I’ve been able to get to know, love, and earn the trust of cats who have shy, fearful, and anxious temperaments, along with fostering orphaned neonates and kittens, comforting scared and confused a...

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

I’ve been cat sitting for the last 10 years, and had cats for the last 28 years of being alive. I’ve gotten to experience all different kinds of cats, from various medical and behavioral needs, to different personalities and preferences. I love getting to know each individual cat and figuring out how to best care for them in a way that fits their needs.

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

From pet sitting to veterinary care, the best advice I can offer is to seek out individuals who fit you and your pet’s unique needs. It’s important to find an individual who takes the time to learn about your needs and listen to your concerns, while also taking the necessary time with your cat(s) to understand them too.

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

I make it a point to meet all animals where they are. So if I am meeting a cat that is particularly timid or anxious, I handle the interaction as I would want it to be handled if I were a cat. I like to share a calm, quiet, and gentle space with these shy cats, and allow them to approach me at their own pace while not making a direct attempt to solicit their attention. When they’re ready, I’ll extend my hand to gently pet them, and read their body language from there to tell if they are comfortable with the interaction or how to best proceed from there.

Analise

Katie has always been and always will be my number one choice pet sitter. She is the sweetest person in the world and understands animals in a way that feels like a superpower. She is very professional and organized. I hate to even give her this honest review because I want to keep her all to myself!

Katie has a special way with cats that comes down to her innate ability to read them and her years of experience handling, medicating, and caring for them as a veterinary technician. She is my personal cat sitter and I trust her completely not just in my home caring for my cats, but as a veterinarian myself, I trust that if anything medical were to arise that she can recognize it and communicate it swiftly.

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

Jacksonville cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $23.00. 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.
