Hello! I’m Jian, and you can call me Wendy, a tenured physics professor and a lifelong animal lover. I currently care for three cats of my own and understand that every cat has unique needs and routines.

I’m dependable, organized, detail-oriented, and will carefully follow your instructions. I provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, quality time, and detailed photo updates.

I’m also happy to provide overnight care in my home. If you prefer, I can keep your cat(s) completely separate from my three cats, with their own comfortable space, to help them feel safe and relaxed during their stay.

Learn More About Jian

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

I have cared for cats for many years as an owner and recently started cat sitting professionally, providing reliable, attentive, and compassionate care.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy getting to know each cat’s unique personality and earning their trust. It’s rewarding to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite cat-sitting reservation was caring for two sweet cats while their owner was away. I enjoyed learning their routines and personalities, spending time with them, and sending their owner photos and updates after each visit.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I have three cats: Luna, a 3-year-old boy; Little Boy, a 5-year-old boy; and Bird, my playful 11-month-old girl. Caring for them every day has taught me to understand different personalities, routines, and needs.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

I believe being responsible and reliable are the most important qualities in a cat sitter. Choose someone who follows instructions carefully, respects your cat’s routine, communicates consistently, and treats your pets and home with care.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I prefer to start with a meet and greet when possible so you can walk me through your cat’s feeding schedule, litter box routine, and where everything is located. If meeting in person isn’t possible, we can go over everything carefully by phone or text.

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

I take safety and security very seriously. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, make sure doors and windows are secure, keep cats safely indoors, and pay close attention to their behavior and well-being. I also send regular updates and photos so owners know everything is going well.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! I’m available for drop-in visits and overnight stays during holidays and throughout the year whenever I’m in Louisville. If I’m out of town or unavailable, I’ll block those dates on my calendar so you’ll always see my current availability.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toys are feather wand toys. They’re great for interactive play, exercise, and keeping cats mentally stimulated, and most cats seem to love chasing and pouncing on the feathers.

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

I give timid or anxious cats plenty of space and allow them to approach me at their own pace. I stay calm and patient, avoid forcing interaction, and follow their normal routine so they can gradually feel safe and comfortable with me.

Wendy (Jian) was so warm and easy to get to know. I knew I could trust her right away. She did a fantastic job taking care of our two very different cats and their different meal styles. She followed instructions and showed up at the times just as promised. We had an issue at our house in between visits and she was very willing to go back mid-day to resolve the problem. I will definitely be using Wendy in the future. Thank you, Wendy!

Jian was absolutely wonderful! I went away for two weeks and knowing she was part of the care for my girl while I was away was very comforting. She sent great videos and updates every day, and even made it across town to my home after getting a flat tire on the way. I can’t say enough wonderful things about her! 😻

Jian was amazing and responded immediately to my booking request for a last minute emergency keeping me out of town longer than expected. Her communication was thorough and timely and she went above and beyond to check his water and food was fully refreshed before leaving

I asked Jian to watch my cat for me and she took care of it as if it was hers. She would send me pics/vids of her every day so I could see her. If you want your fur baby spoiled while you’re away, definitely have her watch them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:


  • More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.

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.

Louisville cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $23.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
