Learn More About Jason

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

I have had to cat sit for family and friends for a couple decades. Some are easier than others as my sisters cat taught me as a younger sitter to always pay attention to body language. Since a little stabbing of my elbow for having the audacity to feed her when she was still trying to sleep, I have learned a lot.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Meeting new cats and helping people. I have had situations where I need help with my pets but no one was around so I had to turn down gigs, events, and more because I refuse to put them in a pet hotel. This allows me to help people keep their pets in the environment they know and love, albeit with a random stranger showing up for a bit a couple times a day, but still in their own territory.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 3 cats currently. Squirrel, our 7 year old Russian blue, was a runt of a litter who's brother Moose (who has since passed away due to cancer) protected him when he was fostered with a not as nice family. He was also raised by my old best friend shenron who had passed away to heart disease as well. Fox is our 3 year old chaos orange kitty. He is immune and intellectually compromised. Flying from one side of the house to another with a few bumps along the way he always keeps us on our toes. Mulder is our newest, and smartest. Found in the middle of a highway after a hawk dropped him and cars sped over him, I, a random delivery driver thought he was garbage until I saw the paw. A beautiful tux with the knowledge far beyond what a cat should have.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Make sure all questions and concerns are prepped beforehand. A good sitter has most of the questions they want/need to ask handy but anything you can think of is good to have prepared. Even the odd ones like "sometimes they get their toy lost under the fridge, could you do a quick check for that" type of question is good to have prepped. Outside of that, knowing timing constraints, medications, what to do for emergencies, etc. is all good to have prepped as well. If you feel the sitter is not a good fit based on the big issues, never feel bad to keep looking. This is part of the family after all and all parties should feel comfortable before proceeding.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am usually available for the holidays. It can vary a little bit and there is usually an upcharge for it, but I am all good helping out over any holiday.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I have a cat with some extreme anxiety, and have take care of many with the same issue. With my cat, fairly easy to calm him down. With others, everything is on their time, I never force an issue. I will sit in their space and maybe talk to them, offer a hand, but they can approach on their own. I often have treats ready for when/if they get close enough to me. I try to talk softly when they eat, to familiarize them with me during a good moment like eating food. But I do not push them out of their comfort zone as best I can. They will let me know when I'm accepted.

Jason cared for our three cats from Thursday to Saturday and truly went above and beyond. He made sure they were fed and played with, and he left detailed, thoughtful updates about each cat after every visit. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were safe, happy, and well cared for while we were away. On top of that, Jason also took care of our birds by bringing their feeder in and out, brought in our packages, and even handled our trash cans, which was incredibly appreciated. He left a very sweet handwritten card and two Churu treats for the cats, which was such a thoughtful and unexpected touch. It’s clear that Jason genuinely cares about the pets (and the home) he’s responsible for. Anyone would be lucky to have him as their pet sitter, and we will absolutely be hiring him again in the future. Highly recommend!

Although Jason didn't have interaction with my two scaredy-cats, he took care of them for the week I was on vacation. His daily updates/pictures gave me great peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my vacation without worrying about the cats. When I got home, everything cat-related was nice and tidy. I will definitely use Jason's services again and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a cat sitter.

​Jason was truly amazing! From the moment we booked, he was professional, friendly, and put our minds completely at ease. While we were gone, his communication was outstanding. He sent us a detailed update and great photos after every visit, which meant so much to us. Our cats were clearly happy and well-cared for. If you're looking for a reliable, communicative, and friendly cat-sitter, look no further than Jason. Five stars!

Jason is an excellent sitter. He’s very attentive, responsive, and incredibly accommodating. It’s also a bonus that he’s knowledgeable about kitty needs, and made careful notes when my cat needed extra help with eating. So when I come home, I’m picking up where he last left off, tuning in to take care of my girls. Jason also goes above and beyond, taking out our trash, and replenishing our litter liner—just making sure our home felt maintained. He is THAT sitter 🙌🏼

Frequently Asked Questions

Aurora cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
