Cat Sitting in Crown Point, IN

Hi! I’m Jennifer, and cats have been a huge part of my life for many years. I currently share my home with several wonderful cats, each with their own unique personality, so I understand that every cat has different needs. Some love attention, while others need a little extra patience and space—and I’m comfortable with both.

I’ve cared for kittens, adult cats, and cats with special medical needs (diabetes), so I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, litter box habits, and overall well-being...
Hi! I’m Jennifer, and cats have been a huge part of my life for many years. I currently share my home with several wonderful cats, each with their own unique personality, so I understand that every cat has different needs. Some love attention, while others need a little extra patience and space—and I’m comfortable with both.

I’ve cared for kittens, adult cats, and cats with special medical needs (diabetes), so I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, litter box habits, and overall well-being. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust when you’re away, and I treat every cat as if they were my own.

When I care for your cat, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime or quiet companionship (depending on what they enjoy), and lots of photo updates so you can relax knowing they’re happy and well cared for.

Whether your cat is outgoing, shy, playful, or prefers to observe from a distance, I’ll take the time to earn their trust and make sure they feel safe and comfortable until you return home. I look forward to meeting you and your feline family!

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

While I’m new to professional cat sitting, I’ve been caring for cats for most of my adult life and currently have a multi-cat household of my own. Over the years, I’ve cared for kittens, adult cats, senior cats, and cats with unique medical and behavioral needs. Living with multiple cats has taught me how different each cat’s personality can be—from outgoing lap cats to shy cats who prefer their space. I’m attentive to changes in eating habits, litter box use, and behavior, and I understand how important it is to provide consistent, loving care while their families are away. My goal is to treat every cat as if they were one of my own.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is getting to know each cat’s unique personality. Some cats greet you at the door and want to play, while others take a little time to warm up—and I love earning their trust. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a shy cat become comfortable or making sure a cat feels safe and loved while their family is away. I also enjoy giving owners peace of mind by sending thoughtful updates and photos, so they know their cat is happy, healthy, and well cared for.

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

Many cats become shy or anxious when their family is away, and I never force interaction. I let each cat set the pace and work to earn their trust through patience, consistency, and a calm presence. Whether that means sitting quietly in the room, offering treats, engaging in play, or simply respecting their space, I adapt to what makes each cat feel most comfortable. I also pay close attention to their eating, drinking, litter box habits, and overall behavior so I can recognize if something seems out of the ordinary. My goal is for every cat to feel safe, secure, and cared for until their family returns.

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.

Crown Point cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $35.00. 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!
