Learn More About Jollie

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Honestly, my favorite part is taking silly photos of cats. I believe in capturing ever memory. Especially during playtime, I capture some of the silliest photos. I have about one million photos of my seven cats, some in my gallery for you to check out! :)

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have seven cats at home!! From youngest to oldest: Phoebe (10 months), Rigby (1yr), Trixie (4yr), Froggy (4yr), Tony (5yr), Pepper (5yr), and Stormy (7yr) All rescues and Ive raised a few since they were kittens. My personality and routines is based around these kitties, they are my pride and joy! I will also never forget my past babies. Tiny (14yr) and Sasha (17yr). Both with medical conditions that needed constant attending to. Tiny with kidney disease: needed a special diet with low phosphorus. While sasha: diabetic and needed daily injections. I know how scary it can feel to trust someone with a cat with medical needs. I can promise you experience, careful attention, and clear communication. I will always make sure your cat’s care routine is followed closely.

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

I start by confirming my availability, making sure it suits both our schedules! Its important to me that your cats set routine is followed to the tea. Next, we’ll set up a meet and greet so I can get to know you and your cat. I’ll learn their routines, preferences, personality, and any medication needs to ensure attentive care that keeps them comfortable while you’re away! I always keep in communication sending updates and photos to keep your mind at ease! I have been praised for my silly photos in my past sittings!

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

My motto is “patience is key.” I never force interactions; I always let cats set the pace. I understand timid or anxious cats need calm and consistent care, so I pay close attention to their body language and offer gentle reassurance. Once they seem calmer, my favorite part is finding little ways to make them feel safe. A slow blink, a little chin scratch, or a small treat. With patience and consistency even the shyest cats start to feel comfortable with me around! :)

Jollie was wonderful! She was very communicative and sent good and useful updates during our trip. She also was very patient with our cat, who was nervous at the start of her visits but warmed up to her by the end!

Frequently Asked Questions

Chicago cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $28.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
