I have experience with shy cats that may need a little kinda more love but on their terms. I enjoy finding new ways for cats to play and interact with one another. I have a lifetime of pet-caring experience and enjoy learning new skills to help better a cat’s life.

Our cat clowder includes : Cecil, Felix, Jolene, Elaine , Lenny, George, Laverne and Shirley and a 4 pound Chihuahua Chi Chi who thinks she’s a cat.

I love meeting new friends and learning!

I’m excited to love your cat as much as I love my own.

Learn More About Janet

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to meet new cats and their families! Learning about new toys, litter and etc. I have found many tips from other owners that I use at home :)

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

I want to understand what you cat wants and needs. I have to build their trust to do that. Getting to know them first.

Are you usually available during holidays?

We have a small family and it would be nice to add some fun things to do during the holidays and give some cats some fun and love!

I booked with Janet from December 21st to the 27th, and it was great! Initially, we both had some holiday madness that delayed and somewhat rushed our first meet-and-greet, but from the time we had in person, I could tell she cared a lot, and that she strives for timeliness. I noticed she took extensive, detailed notes while we spoke and walked around, and she also repeated back various details to ensure she had them correct. My cat, who is very cuddly but also incredibly shy at first, took to her almost immediately as well, which I interpreted as a positive vote on her character. While I was away, Janet was very communicative on her own and, at my request, sent a ton of super cute pictures. She even edited one for Christmas Day, which was ADORABLE. Throughout the week, I was proven time and again that my cat was in capable, caring hands. It made me feel so much better that I had to leave my boy behind for the holidays, and that I could count on Janet to check in with him and dote on him a little. It was truly a near-seamless (if we 86'd the holidays, I'm sure it would've been too good to be true, honestly) experience, and I'd happily book with Janet again in the future.

Being newer to the area, we didn’t have anyone to watch our boys. Luckily this app exists and so does Janet! She was very attentive to their needs and gave them lots of extra love and treats (they were VERY happy about that!). She even vacuumed while we were away so we didn’t come home to litter everywhere. Thank you again, Janet!

This was our first experience using Meowtel and it was great! Janet took notes on the meet and greet to make sure she understood our cat's needs. She was consistent and made sure we knew all the cats were doing well. Even though it was hard being away from them, Janet's pictures and updates helped tremendously.

Janet took great care of my cats! They're very shy, but she even got one of them to come out for pets! She was responsive and kind, and kept me updated.

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!
