Learn More About Paola

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

I’ve been caring for cats since I was a teenager, mainly for friends and neighbors who trusted me to look after their pets while they were away. I’ve also always lived with cats, which has given me daily, hands-on experience in understanding their behavior, emotional needs, and routines. Over the years, I’ve developed strong skills in observing subtle changes in mood or health, administering food or medication as needed, and creating a calm, stress-free environment. I’m also very patient, respectful of each cat’s personality, and skilled at gaining their trust without rushing the interaction. My approach is always gentle, attentive, and guided by the individual needs of each cat.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I always begin with a conversation to understand the cat’s routine, personality, and preferences. I ask detailed questions about feeding schedules, favorite toys, litter box habits, hiding spots, and any medical or behavioral considerations. If possible, I like to arrange a short visit before the official sitting begins, to get acquainted with the cat and ensure a smooth transition. Throughout the service, I stay in close communication with the owner, providing photo or video updates. I also like to share time-stamped proof of my arrival, the duration of my visit, and my departure. This helps build trust and transparency, and reassures the owner that their cat is receiving the care and attention they deserve.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I’m extremely respectful and responsible with both the pets and the home. I lock all doors carefully, follow instructions precisely, and can provide time-stamped proof of my visits if requested. I also monitor the cat’s behavior closely to quickly spot any signs of discomfort or health issues and will notify the owner immediately if something seems unusual.

our cats LOVED Paola!! Paola sent photos and videos of our cats each day and they were always thrilled to see her. My fiancé and I were out of town for about a week and a half and Paola made sure our cats’ food bowls, water dish, and litter box were always clean and fresh. The girls were also played with and received lots of love! So much so that they both seemed disappointed when we returned home!! I would 100% recommend Paola to care for your critters and will absolutely be booking with her again :)

Paola did an amazing job looking after my 3 kitties! She was very attentive and nurturing. She went out of her way to make sure my shier cats, who like to hide, had the opportunity to eat. She sent me lots of pics and videos of my babies which always made me feel better. She did everything I asked of her and more. I will definitely be booking her again!!

Response from Paola on Aug 1, 2025 "Tali was incredibly organized, which made everything smooth. Her cats Blu, Zoe, and Najee were a joy to care for. Blu was especially cuddly and loving. Each has a distinct charm, and I’d be happy to care for them again."

Frequently Asked Questions

Jacksonville cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
