Learn More About Jeanna Mae

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two cats! Beans and Rylo! Beans was a foster fail. He was supposed to be in our care for 2 months but then that turned into a 6 months and that turned into a year. Since he has bonded with us, we felt like it was for the best for us to be his forever home! Rylo was a rescue from a shelter. We wanted Beans to have a friend so he wouldnt get so lonely. He was in shelter for a month before we adopted him. He quickly bonded with Beans and is now my Velcro cat! I cannot get up and walk around without him being by my feet.

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

I do not like to bother timid and anxious cats so I tend to just sit on the ground in a spot relatively close to them. I let them approach me and follow their lead. I still make sure that their litter and food and water are still taken care of.

Jeanna Mae is the best. Marzie is so much happier when she is being cared for by Jeanna Mae anytime I am away.

Because of Jeanna Mae, I was able to enjoy my vacation. I had peace of mind knowing that my fur babies are well cared for. I think my babies liked her more than me! I appreciated the updates and photos. She was very reassuring and validated my anxieties about being away. My kitties and I trust her and will definitely book her again.

I had such a great experience with Jeanna Mae! She was incredibly patient and gentle with my shy kitty, Milo, giving him the time he needed to feel comfortable. I especially appreciated the regular updates—she sent the sweetest pictures and videos that really put my mind at ease while I was away. It was clear Milo was well cared for and in good hands. I’d absolutely book with Jeanna Mae again. Highly recommend!

Jeanna Mae was 10/10 with caring for my girls. One of my cats is shy and she was able to get her out to play and cuddle by the end. We also just adopted a new cat a few weeks ago, and Jeanna Mae eased my anxiety with leaving them alone. She provided amazing photos and updates every visit. I will definitely be using her again - she was amazing and truly went above and beyond (took our trash out without even us asking her to!). My kitties and I loved having her watch them during vacation!

Jeanna Mae did a fabulous job taking care of my sweet girl!! My kitty is very shy and doesn’t take to new people very easily, and Jeanna Mae did a fabulous job of charming her! I was nervous to book someone I hadn’t worked with before, but she made me feel so comfortable and I quickly trusted her to take care of my Mila. I was very happy and pleased with my experience working with her and would totally book her again! She gave great updates and I was able to relax on my vacation knowing my kitty was in great hands!!

Jeanna Mae was awesome with my sweet lil shy guy! He had a bad experience with strangers before I adopted him, so he’s always been afraid of new people he doesn’t know. But he actually came out for Jeanna Mae and hung out with her! She even got him to play. Literally could not be happier 🥹 I’m also a helicopter cat mom so I went a little overboard with leaving notes/instructions, but she got everything down and understood my crazy cat ladyness! Highly recommend her for anyone with a shy kitto and who wants the best care ❤️🙌

Jeanna Mae was absolutely awesome!! She made sure to send very detailed updates, asked clarifying questions if I forgot to mention something before leaving, and always included anywhere from 10-25 photos/videos per visit! We’ve never used a pet sitter other than family members and were nervous about leaving our cats for two weeks but we couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch after them! Jeanna Mae even got our shy kitty to warm up to her within only a few days :) We’ll definitely use her again for future vacations or even long weekends away.

Jeanna Mae took perfect care of our three kitties. The pictures she sent were incredible and she really went above and beyond! It gave me so much peace of mind to know they were in good hands while we were out of town for a couple days. I absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter. We will definitely book with her again the next time we need to be away from home.

This was my first time using Meowtel, and I was feeling nervous about being away from my cat Ike for so long. Jeanna Mae instantly calmed my nerves by providing amazing detailed updates, cute photos and video, and knowing how to handle his feistiness. I also really appreciate her flexibility around my weird travel schedule. I will definitely try to book with her in the future!

Joanna Mae was fantastic with our kitties. She brought a notebook and took notes to the meet and greet, and even got on the floor to lure our shy cat out from under the couch. Her updates were very detailed, and we got some great photos. We will definitely book her again. :)

Jenna Mae came to the rescue when my other sitter had a medical emergency, and I’m so grateful that she stepped up to help out! Within minutes of picking up the remainder of my reservation, Jenna Mae introduced herself, asked important questions regarding my cat and his care, and reassured me that my cat Benny would be in good hands. And he was! Speedy responses, detailed updates, and immediately hitting it off with your cat - what what more could you ask for? Thank you Jenna Mae!

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.
