My offered services are listed below:

Learn More About Lara
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I currently have one cat named Ivy, she is a 2-year-old long-hair mix. I also live with my roommate’s cat, a 10-month-old orange boy named Taro!
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I like to look for probable hiding spaces for the cats, which helps to know where they might go in an emergency. Additionally, I like to lay eyes on all cats (or at least know where they are) before I leave the home to ensure that they are not stuck behind a closed door without food and litter access!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
My own cat can be very timid with new people and new situations, and I have learned to just let her take her time adjusting. If she is anxious and hiding, I check on her periodically to let her know that I am there and that I am safe. I also like to leave a couple of treats out close to their hiding spot to let them investigate once I leave the room so they can associate coming out with something positive.

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!
