Learn More About Donna
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
We have 5 cats currently... Binx: male tuxedo Bear: female almost completely black Reecie: female tortie Turtle: female tortie Rani: female tuxedo and the youngest of the group. Found in the middle of the road 14 months ago. She was estimated to be 3/4 weeks old and only 14 ounces.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
Learn everything I can about the cat and their personality. If I am going into their space I need to respect them and that space. Also, meeting the cat before the job, so the cat has seen me while in the presence of their person. Helps them be more comfortable if they know their person is.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Give them their space and time. As long as I know they are ok (eating, drinking water and going to the bathroom) then I am hands off until they are ready. I believe in letting it be the animals choice to interact with me.

Donna was awesome with our cat son! He enjoyed having her come by to tend to his kitty needs. We will definitely be using her services again in the future! This was our first experience with a pet sitter and it went super well. Highly recommend!

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!
