Learn More About Jodie

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Getting to know the unique personality of each induvial cat!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I sure do! Bailey Marie is a Siberian and Kahlua is a Tortie. Bailey is docile, sweet, loyal, and fluffy. She suffers from allergies that often leads to anxiety and is a remission diabetic. I adopted her from a local shelter. Kahlua loves attention, playtime, cuddles, and being involved in everything. I adopted her from a college classmate who was not prepared for the responsibility of being a cat mom. Both Bailey and Kahlua are about 13 year old babies.

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

Experience and trust is a must.

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

I like to schedule an introductory meeting whether in person, FaceTime, Zoom, or call to get to know your cat(s) more. This includes information on their personality, habits, likes/dislikes, care routine, and any specific instructions. These meetings are also useful for home access details. If you prefer communication only through the app text, this works as well!

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

Attention to detail, communication, and following directions are extremely important and something I pride myself in being great at.

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

Patience and understanding.

Jodie was a perfect cat sitter for my baby boy Jerry. She was so easy to talk to, followed instructions perfectly and I could tell through the photos she sent that Jerry was very happy to spend time with her. Would 100% recommend and I’d definitely book again. thank you Jodie!

Jodie was so thoughtful and responsive! Our kitty is shy around strangers, but they became fast friends, because Jodie knew exactly how to approach her. We appreciated her updates, pictures, and videos!

Jodie was an amazing blessing during a very difficult time in my life. She was so sweet and caring, going above and beyond to give me a sense of peace that my kitty was being well cared for while I was away to take care of my family. 10/10 would highly recommend!

Jodie was amazing! We had a great initial meeting and Ozzy warmed up to her right away. She asked really good questions and I felt very comfortable. Her pics and updates were super cute, but also informative. I could tell she was taking very good care of my kitty while I was gone. Thanks Jodie!!

Jodie is the purrrfect cat sitter. She genuinely cares and made me feel comfortable as soon as i first spoke with her. I went away for the weekend and my cat (Suzi) has major separation anxiety and requires meds. Jodie hit it off with Suzi immediately, played with her, and gave me thorough updates during each visit. I cannot recommend Jodie enough and look forward to her watching Suzi again in the future :)

Frequently Asked Questions

Chicago cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $31.00. 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.
