I'm Jen | Cat Sitting in Bangor, ME

Hello! I moved back to Maine in 2020 and am happy to be able to provide services here! I was a volunteer at the San Diego Humane Society for 3 years; I worked with cats on the adoption floor and with difficult cats in the behavior center. I have been cat sitting for 20 years and have experience caring for cats on special diets, giving insulin shots, and giving medications in any form. I am certified in cat CPR/First Aid. I worry about my cats when I travel, so I understand wanting to find someone you can trust to watch your cats. I will provide you with many pictures and updates. I also will bring trash to the curb, bring in packages/mail, water plants, and anything else you need! I always let the cat(s) decide how they want the visit to go; if they are feeling affectionate and want lots of pets, if they just want to play and get th...

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

I have been cat sitting since 2004 - it's been 20 years! I started cat sitting just for friends & family, and then while living in San Diego I was looking for a way to make extra income and discovered Meowtel. I started cat sitting with Meowtel in 2016 - shortly after the company was created! I also used to work as a barista at the San Diego Cat Cafe and had ~12 cats to care for as part of my job duties. I had so many absolutely wonderful cats that I watched in San Diego, some of them were regulars and some were just one time, but all of whom I still occasionally think about and miss! I now have a great handful of regular clients in Maine. I still cat sit for friends & family and I've even watched a bearded dragon and a pig!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to know each cat and seeing all of the different personalities! I love when I have finished all my cat sitting duties and can just spend the rest of the visit either cuddling with cats or playing with them - or both! Another unexpected perk that I really appreciate is getting to explore different neighborhoods or areas that my clients live in, places I might not have known about otherwise. I got to visit so many different parts of San Diego for example and since I was still new to the area, I really enjoyed/needed that. Sometimes I would walk around the neighborhood after my visit or I would go to a nearby coffee shop, park, etc. I discovered a lot of cool places that way!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I would have to say my very first reservation, which also became my first regular client. This was all the way back in 2016 so it was a long time ago, but I still think about Mama and Boobers. They were two incredibly sweet, fluffy cats with the cutest faces. It was one of those neighborhoods I mentioned in my previous answer that was actually pretty near my house but it was still a totally new neighborhood to explore so that added to the excitement I felt over my first official Meowtel reservation. I loved spending my evenings with those two cats in my client's quiet and peaceful home. It really set the stage for how awesome my time with Meowtel has been.

Jen was perfect. Friendly, professional, responsive, and honestly seemed to really care about our cat (and our related anxiety and such). I would recommend her to others in a heartbeat.

Jen is absolutely the best! I've left a couple reviews for her already, but yet again she managed to go above and beyond what she had already done for my little furry monsters! I had thought I had scheduled her to visit my kitties when I was gone for a short weekend trip, but I had not! I messaged her to mention something about getting in the house and she replied back letting me know she didn't think she was scheduled to visit! I panicked as I was already out-of-town. Despite the last minute notice and the fact that she had plans for the weekend, she rearranged things and made it happen. She is just the best. :)

Jen went above and beyond with my two cats! she ran into a few scenarios that I didn’t expect and didn’t hesitate to take care of it no questions asked. she was very attentive and great at communicating and sending pictures which really helped ease my worries about them being alone while we were away!

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bangor 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.
