Learn More About Jen

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

I've been pet sitting for about 4 years. I've had two regular cat clients during that time, as well as dogs and lizards.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy meeting other people's cats! I can only have so many cats of my own, so cat sitting, as well as fostering, give me the opportunity to get to know other kitties.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 3 kitties. Dora is 11, Jack & Olivia are 10, both brown tabbies, & are littermates. All three are rescues.

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

I'm very careful to make sure doors are closed and anything potentially harmful (such as plastic bags) is put away. I also check that each animal is accounted for before leaving. I do these things with my own pets to ensure their safety.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I don't celebrate holidays because I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses, so I'm happy to work holidays.

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

When I meet a cat who is timid or anxious, I usually sit on the floor nearby (but not too close) and just pretend I'm not interested. That gives the nervous kitty a chance to check me out on his own terms.

Jennifer was very friendly when we met and understood the needs of my two kitties. She kept me updated with pictures and texts which put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend her and plan to use her again in the future.

Jennifer was new to me and my daughter just a few weeks ago. She made to time to meet us and our cats before our trip. We showed her how the cats are to be fed and what they like to play with. She was great and sent photos daily and updates on how they were doing. Will ask for Jennifer again. She also fosters so she has a big heart ❤️

Jennifer was a life savor for my unplanned trip! she got back to me same day and still met with me to make sure that she had all the info she needed to take care of my cats. I really appreciated her willingness to help on such short notice and how kind and friendly she was with my cats :)

Frequently Asked Questions

Indianapolis cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. 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.
