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

I have been a cat/pet sitter for over 10 years. I got into cat sitting when I wasn’t able to have any of my own but I still wanted to be around them as much as I could.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have three kitties! Simon is an orange tabby, Asher is a grey and white short hair, and Ollie who is a brown tabby.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I’m available during holidays and I am happy to help! Your cat will get plenty of love, care, and attention.

Kathleen (Katie) was a hit with my 3 kitties! She provided updates with pictures during her visits. I can tell that my cats were cared for with love as they were happy to see me but not anxious as in past times when I left for a night or two and didn't have any one visit with them. Highly recommended and will be a repeat customer 👌

We are so happy we had Katie look after our two babies while we were out of town. She is the kindest, sweetest, most thoughtful cat sitter we’ve ever worked with. She even left us photos of the cats with a note after her last visit. 🩷 Lots of check-ins and details on the visits, which I appreciate as a cat mama, and she was able to get my superrrr shy girl to play and interact. Very, very happy!

Katie was great with our shy kitties! She was very patient with them and helped them come out of their shell with play time. She sent pictures and updates with a visit summary every day. I highly recommend Katie for kitty care.

Katie is absolutely great and I highly recommend her to take care of your furry children when you are away! She communicates promptly and sends great pictures after each visit. She even sent a video of one of my cats purring during the visit which made me totally confident that my cats where in the best of hands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:


  • More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
  • 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.
  • Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.

All refunds are initially applied to the Cat Parent's Meowtel Account Balance for use toward a future reservation or tip. Funds may be returned to the original payment method at any time.

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 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!
