I'm Margarita
Cat Sitting in Jacksonville, FL
Cats tend to warm up to me pretty quickly, and I’m very good at reading their body language and respecting their boundaries. W... I’ve been around cats for more than 15 years and have always had a special connection with them. I’m patient, gentle, and very attentive to their individual personalities and needs. I truly believe that every cat has their own little personality — some want cuddles and attention, while others need a little more time and space to feel comfortable.
Cats tend to warm up to me pretty quickly, and I’m very good at reading their body language and respecting their boundaries. Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, or extremely affectionate, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would give my own.
As a cat mom myself, I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll keep their routine as consistent as possible, give them plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your kitty is in good hands.
Learn More About Margarita
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have a Scottish Straight cat named Casey. She’s very independent, well-mannered, and incredibly sweet. She never gets into trouble and always behaves like a little lady. She has a very calm, dignified, almost regal personality.
Are you usually available during holidays?
I’m generally available on holidays and would be happy to help care for your cat while you’re away. My weekends can be busy, especially during the daytime, but I’m often available in the evenings depending on my schedule. I always recommend reaching out in advance so we can check availability for your specific dates.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I’m very patient with anxious or shy cats and never try to force interaction. I give them time and space to feel comfortable and let them approach me at their own pace. I’ve always seemed to have a natural connection with cats, and even with nervous cats belonging to friends and family, they often come out and approach me on their own. I think they can sense that I’m calm, gentle, and respectful of their boundaries, which helps them feel safe and build trust with me.

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!
