Learn More About Jared

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

I have owned cats my whole life, and have been cat sitting for friends and family for over 20 years

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love meeting and befriending new kitties, especially when they’re shy at first. Once we’ve gotten to know each other, I love just hanging out with them and playing with their favorite toys with them.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

It’s hard to pick just one! I’ve sat for a lot of fantastic kitties! Some of my favorites have included a fluffy sweet 5-year old kitty who greeted me at the door, a 2-year old orange and white kitty who loved to play, and two 2-year old tuxedos who took a little time to warm up to me, but were affectionate lap kitties by the end of the reservation.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two wonderful cats of my own, named Dove and Winter. Winter is very social, and loves to meet new people. Dove is more reserved, but she’ll also go right up to a new person and demand their full attention.

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

There’s no such thing as too much information! I leave a full page of instructions for caring for my own kitties when I hire a sitter. Anything you think I need to know about your kitties, please share it with me.

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

If they’ve never owned cats before, it’s important for them to remember that all cats are different. It may take some time for the kitty to get adjusted to their new surroundings. Its also important to pay attention to the kitty’s behavior. Sometimes what may seem like bad behavior is actually the kitty trying to tell us something.

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

Attentiveness is key. Cats love to get into places and things that they aren’t supposed to, and it’s our job to keep them safe and out of trouble.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love crinkle toys, soft toys with catnip inside, jumping fish and bird toys, feather wands, and cat caves with dangling attachments

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

I let them come to me. If the cat doesn’t feel comfortable or safe, I don’t want to make things worse. I will happily sit nearby and let them decide if they want to come closer. Treats, used sparingly, also help.

This was our first time using this app, and first time having a cat sitter outside of family. Jared was very nice and even got our stranger-skittish kitty to take treats from him! We had two 20-min visits for a day and he sent us lots of pictures both time. Would 100% recommend this app and Jared for any in the area!

Jared did a great job. He sent a ton of pix and a long summary of his visit every day. He was very conscientious about the litter boxes. He is clearly very loving with our cats, and they all seemed to warm up to him, even the shy one. highly recommend!

Jared was the first sitter I’ve used with Meowtel and I would definitely use him again, he sent lots of pictures and updates on how our cat was doing which we appreciated. Our cat Bunny can be a little bit shy but she warmed right up to him.

Despite being a very last minute booking, Jared was the right man for the job. When I returned, my kitties were all happy and healthy. Jared sent updates every day along with really great photos. I will definitely be hiring Jared again in the future.

I can speak to Jared's grace under pressure and his friendly demeanor in the face of adversity. He is a big-time feline lover who spoils his kitties with love and affection at every opportunity. I have three cats of my own and would trust Jared to sit with them!

Frequently Asked Questions

Hyattsville 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.
