Cat Sitting in Jacksonville, FL

I love cats so much because they are nature's most elegant predator! I have owned two over the years at home, but I have interacted with many more in multiple settings (previous sitting jobs, cat cafes, cats of friends and roommates, etc).

One skill that I think is very helpful is that I do have some minor training for handling wildlife, and the biggest thing I learned from it was how to read and respect the body language of animals. I have experience with large snakes, tarant...
I love cats so much because they are nature's most elegant predator! I have owned two over the years at home, but I have interacted with many more in multiple settings (previous sitting jobs, cat cafes, cats of friends and roommates, etc).

One skill that I think is very helpful is that I do have some minor training for handling wildlife, and the biggest thing I learned from it was how to read and respect the body language of animals. I have experience with large snakes, tarantulas, gators, black bears, and Florida panthers.

My primary occupation is currently just this - being a temporary caretaker to these tiny little tigers. In my off-time I enjoy dabbling in one of my many hobbies, be it arts and crafts, sewing, or gaming.

The times of day best for me would be about noon to 6pm, but I try to be flexible. I live in Mandarin and am willing to travel up to 20 minutes one way. I really look forward to hearing from you and meeting your kitties! 😸

Jen did an amazing job! She kept me well informed of both of my cats status. She did above and beyond this time. I asked her to do one more unexpected visit to my apartment, and she managed to do it. She is extremely reliable.

Jen did an amazing job making me feel safe and secure while away on travels. One of my kids requires three oral medications daily and Jen tackled that no problems. Definitely recommend!!

I can’t say enough great things about Jen! Amazing care for our cats addressing all our concerns & information provided. Organized, responsive, & sensitive to all our cat-care needs! One of our cats is a senior kitty requiring 2 medications at each meal. She can be quite ornery in her old age, but she is still my little angel. Jen took care & patience with her for every single meal well above anything expected to include standards Meowtel states on their website. On top of this, on Jen’s correspondence pictures/videos, she was actively playing with her! I’ve not seen my senior cat do this ever without 1st knowing someone for months. By the end of our 1st day away from home, all my immediate concerns were dismissed & I calmed down knowing they were in amazing care. I’ve never seen either cat take to a stranger so quickly. I was even a little pleasantly jealous. In addition to all of this, she supplied amazing pictures & videos of all cats to us each day. (Can someone hire Jen for cat photography!?) While I always miss them, it made us feel great knowing they were getting the best attention & care they could get!

Jen did an excellent job of caring for my 10 fun angles. While she did not want to do the morning feeding, I found Jennifer that did. This worked out better in the long run - Jen had to cancel some appointments due to illness and Jennifer was able to cover.

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!
