I'm Jessica
Cat Sitting in Polk City, FL
Because of my experience with Persians, I am familiar with the importance of regular grooming, coat care, eye cleaning, monitoring for matting, and keeping up... Cats have been a part of my life for more than 20 years, and I truly enjoy getting to know each cat’s individual personality, routine, and comfort level. I currently have two Persians of my own, so I understand that some cats require a little extra attention and specialized care.
Because of my experience with Persians, I am familiar with the importance of regular grooming, coat care, eye cleaning, monitoring for matting, and keeping up with the daily routines that help long-haired and flat-faced breeds stay comfortable and happy. I also understand that cats can be very particular about their environment and that patience, consistency, and respect for their personal space are extremely important.
Whether your cat is outgoing and affectionate or shy and needs time to warm up, I will follow their routine and provide calm, attentive care while you are away. My goal is to help your cat feel safe and comfortable in their own home while giving you peace of mind knowing they are being cared for by someone with many years of hands-on cat experience.

Polk City cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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!
