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...

Jen's Reviews
Natalie
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!
Ann
Jen is a great kitty sitter. She is dedicated to the well being of all the cats in her care. Although this visit there were no meds needed in the past she has been responsible to this. She demonstrates professionalism, compassion and caring with each visit.🐕🦺❤️😊🐾
Rachel
I can't begin to describe how outstanding Jen is. She really goes above and beyond to provide detailed updates, give each cat attention, and make sure that they all feel as at ease as possible with her. Each day we got so many different photos to confirm how they were all doing along with updates on all aspects of their needs (litter, food, eating, playtime, treats, etc.). Jen is also excellent about maintaining communication and updating us if her schedule changes and needs to come a little later than anticipated, even though we don't expect any particular time of day when we are out of town. She is clearly very caring and thoughtful about the care she provides. I have never had such great peace of mind when leaving our cats in the care of someone else.

Jen ALWAYS goes above and beyond. She has to deal with my cranky, demanding, 81 year old dad as well as my cats. My VERY shy cat trusts her now which is a miracle! As always Jen is the ultimate professional and we adore her. You will not be disappointed if you hire her.

This is the second time Jen has taken care of my kitties while I'm on vacation. The first time was an amazing experience, but this one -- it may be the best service I've ever had... ever anywhere. Her communication is top-notch, with lots of information and messages about how my little cat monsters are doing, how much they ate, cat box concerns, and just plenty of details to help me feel connected to them while I'm away. Beyond that she sent lots of pictures and videos that showed how much fun she was having with the kitties and how much fun they were having with her. One of my kitties is shy and didn't interact much with Jen the first time she helped out, but this time my shy little princess kitty was fully engaged and excited to play and show Jen around the house. Lastly, both times Jen has taken care of the kitties they have been in a great space when I returned and there was none of the usual distance they exhibit when I've left them for days. I cannot recommend her enough. Single best service I've ever experienced -- and that matters to me because these are my little babies.

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
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.
