Learn More About Jennifer

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is the opportunity to interact with cats of all personalities and make each one feel genuinely loved and cared for. The real joy of cat sitting comes from discovering each cat’s little universe: the bold explorers, the quiet watchers, the shy ones who blossom with patience, and the chatty ones who narrate their whole day. Spending time with them, earning their trust, and giving them the comfort they deserve feels like being welcomed into a tiny kingdom of whiskers and soft paws. I also love knowing that, while their humans are away, I get to be the steady, gentle presence that keeps their world feeling safe and warm.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes, I do! I have two wonderful cats of my own. Sugar is my 11-year-old senior girl, sweet, gentle, and very affectionate. And Penny is my energetic 3-year-old who keeps me laughing with her playful, curious personality. They’re complete opposites, but they’ve taught me so much about understanding different feline temperaments and meeting each cat’s unique needs.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love using laser pointers during playtime. Laser pointers are a fantastic way to keep cats active and mentally stimulated. It’s always a joy to watch them chase, leap, and playfully conquer the elusive red dot.

After the heartbreaking loss of her cat Nala, she was hesitant about bringing another cat into her home. However, adopting Penny has brought her so much joy and companionship. Jennifer’s kindness and understanding made the transition seamless, and I couldn’t be happier. Penny truly is the best thing that happened to her during a difficult period.

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.
