Cat Sitting in Jacksonville, FL
•drop-in visits (evenings a... Hi there fellow cat-owning friends! My name is Lara, and I am a 24-year-old offering cat-sitting services in Jacksonville. I am an experienced cat owner and currently have a long-haired girl named Ivy. I am used to various cat personalities, from spicy to cuddlebug and adventurous to anxious. My offered services are listed below:
•drop-in visits (evenings and weekends)
•overnight stays (weekends only)
•all visits include (as needed): feeding, litter scooping, playing
Pricing is flexible, I want my services to be as accessible as possible to all who need them. I am located in the Baymeadows area but am able to travel around town as well.
I look forward to working with you and meeting your sweet fur babies!🐾🩷
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.

Lara was a wonderful caretaker to my two cats while I was away. She visited them on schedule and gave me feedback on how they were and sent pictures. She made sure their bowls were clean and their litter was scooped. Lara was accommodating and so easy to communicate with, I highly recommend her!

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!
