Learn More About Jessy
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I’ve been cat sitting since I was a little girl, caring for neighbors’ pets. I started working as a professional cat sitter in 2016, and I’ve never looked back.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have a little zoo, and I couldn’t be happier! Their names are Little Bit, Cricket, Pippa, Clementine, Puddin, Minnie, and Penny.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I like to take things at the cat’s pace. I always maintain calm, and will start out simply being a presence in the room. I use a soft voice and talk with the intent to soothe. Then, if kitty is ready for it, I let them do the sniff test on an open palm. If we pass the test together, some gentle scritches are in order.

Jessy is always the best, but this time was particularly great because she was able to give our elderly kitty fluids while I was out of town. Having a caring person available that can provide excellent medical care made it so much less stressful for me to go on my work trip!

Jessy was wonderful taking care of my two cats. both cats are senior cats and come with some extra care requirements and one needs medication daily. She was so sensitive and attentive to their needs. it was such a piece of mind knowing they were in such great care while we were out of town.

Jessy is phenomenal. Super kind, hyper communicative, and she took amazing care of our elderly cat. Just before we left, our kitty needed to start a new medication, and Jessy gave it to her no problem while we were away. I've never been able to leave our cat while she needed meds before; Jessy handled everything and eased all my anxiety. My cat has separation anxiety, but she liked Jessy so much that she didn't mark at all while we were gone! I cannot recommend Jessy too highly.

Jessy was very communicative and you can tell they are passionate about cats. While our intial plans did not work out they way we intended, they were super helpful with making sure everything went smoothly. My senior kitty was nervous at first, hissing and hiding, but Jessy took the time to approach her at her level. By the end of the sit, my cat was rubbing up against them and purring! I trust Jessy to make sure your kitty has the best care

Excellent experience with Jessy! She took great care of our cats, including the one with special needs, and we'll definitely book with her again in the future if she's available. She sent multiple photos from each visit showing the care she was giving them.

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.
If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.
Oak Lawn cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $27.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.
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. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet!

Jessy was such an attentive and warm cat sitter! She put me at ease watching my cats. She was very quick to respond and sent me pictures every day of my cats. When she ran into issues she would notify me or let me know what was happening. Highly recommended Jessy for your cat sitting needs and will be using her again when I have to leave town. Thank you again Jessy

Jessy was totally great! Super conscientious, we were completely comfortable leaving our kitties in her care. She sent us pictures at every visit. We also liked that she has experience working in animal shelters and has cats of her own. We felt good about her right away at our initial meeting. We will definitely use Jessy's services again.

Jessy is the biggest cat lover I know. She has the sweetest cats of her own, and also fosters a volunteers as much as she can. Her attention to detail, respect, communication, and care are all wonderful. She’s cared for my cats multiples times while I was traveling and always sends me photos and checks in with me about how they’re doing. I highly recommend Jessy to be a cat sitter, she is the best of the best!

Jessy is a wonderfully caring animal parent and I trust her with my own pet who adores her! She has a special gift where she bonds with any animal almost immediately, and I love that about her.
