I'm Jennifer

Cat Sitting in New Port Richey, FL

I’ve been a cat mom for over 40 years. I’ve worked at animal shelters in the cat room socializing cats, fostering kittens, and pet sitting for neighbors for 20 years. Of course, some of the fostering failed—I adopted those kittens!
I’m skilled at pilling cats, and am pretty good at nail trimming...
I’ve been a cat mom for over 40 years. I’ve worked at animal shelters in the cat room socializing cats, fostering kittens, and pet sitting for neighbors for 20 years. Of course, some of the fostering failed—I adopted those kittens!
I’m skilled at pilling cats, and am pretty good at nail trimming. I can also pick up the mail, bring in or out garbage cans, water plants and feed fish, if desired.
We moved here a few years back and I’d love to increase my cat sitting experience.
Every cat is a good kitty, and it’s so much fun to play with them and get to know their unique personalities.

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

I’ve been cat sitting for over 25 years, I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, and fostered kittens. The only thing I won’t do is let your cat roam outside, even if you ok it. It’s not safe and I couldn’t live with myself if anything happened to your precious fur baby.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I currently have two cats, Buster and Pebbles. They are both rescues. Buster is a beautiful 15 year old, long haired tuxedo and Pebbles is a playful grey short haired tabby. Buster is a lovable guy who takes long naps, and he’s a bit of a Chonker at 18 pounds. Pebbles loves going out into our screened in porch to bird watch and occasionally catch a small lizard. She’s always so proud of her catches.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I need to meet with you for a short visit so you can explain what you would like done at each visit. Explain how your cat(s) like to be fed, if they need any medication, what their own personal likes and dislikes. Do they need playtime and treats, or would they most likely hide and only come out to eat after I’ve gone? Is the belly a “no touch zone”? Every cat is different and deserves to be treated as unique.

Jennifer was amazing! We have two very different cats, a complicated litter box and some fairly involved feeding routines but she stepped in on short notice and, after just one quick walkthrough, was off and running. She sent us updates every day with pictures and made sure both cats received plenty of attention and playtime. She even went above and beyond by washing their food bowls and leaving our house cleaner than when she arrived. I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone and will absolutely hire her again for our next trip!

Jennifer was so patient and thoughtful with our super shy baby. She kept us updated with pictures and detailed messages about how our kitty was doing and even was able to get her come out of her hiding spot to play during one visit. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be a repeat customer 😺

Jennifer is great and easy to work with. She came every day to take care of our cats. she spent time playing with them and letting Jax sit on her lap. Jennifer also watered our plants and brought in the mail every day. We are very happy we found Jennifer and will not hesitate to schedule her again in the future.

Jennifer was wonderful. She was able to have our Gina get out from under the bed which has never been done before with strangers. Gina adored her.. She spent quality time with Gina & made sure she was happy. We highly recommend Jennifer & will only use her services from now on. Thank you Jennifer.

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.

New Port Richey cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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!
