Jeff The Retired Attorney's Cat Sitting

I'm Jeff

Cat Sitting in Chesterfield, MO

I am a retired, married 76 year old attorney who loves cats. I have lived with, adored and cared for numerous cats over many years including Persians, Siamese, tabbies and alley cats and loved them all. I love their affection, antics, loyalty and sweet dispositions as well as their mystery, independence and traits they share with their cousins, the "Big Cats".
I have volunteered with the Missouri Humane Society for years and served on their Board.
I "socialized" Society cats and kittens for several years (for which I received training which was very useful despite my wealth of prior experience with cats) at the Westport shelter prior to their adoption . This involved cuddling and playing with them so that they were comfortable with potential parents (and vice versa).
I have also sat for the felines of friends and neighbors.
I retired from the the practice of law several years ago and decided that I wanted to spend my free time with my grandchildren, volunteering for my favorite charities and spending as much time as possible with my special friends in the feline world...

My aim in a sit is of course to make sure your beloved kitty receives the best care and most loving attention possible. I want to be a buddy and friend with your beastie so that the kitty feels at ease with me and looks forward to my visits.
During the shortest 20 minute visits, while I attempt to both play with your
kitty as well as take kitty videos, there is a limited amount of time remaining after the usual kitty chores. Please let me know if you would like me to focus more on one or the other of these extracurricular activities during your sits!
But just as important is to insure that kitty parents feel totally comfortable with my services and confident that they can be apart from their feline children without a worry in the world.
To that end, I am in constant contact with parents during the time I am with their kitty by providing numerous videos, photos and a running commentary on the play, activities, antics, and adorable nature of their babies.
I should also note that i consider part of my job description to handle any light household chores such as trash, mail, plant watering, etc.
Some additional personal info—I have had all of the Covid vaccine shots. I am very attentive to Covid precautions and will of course wear a mask in your home if you wish.
I am married to my lovely wife, Holly, and in addition to adorable felines, I love sports and movies.
In summary, I would be honored to attend to your kitty children with complete care and love! I will also provide free legal advice to any kitties who encounter complications with the authorities!
Thank you for your consideration! Jeff

Jeff is wonderful with our cats,Harley and Cocoa. Harley is 17 and loves people, especially men, so he and Jeff definitely get along. Cocoa on the other hand is very shy and hides when anyone comes over Not so with Jeff - she loves him.

Jeff is an outstanding cat sitter. He took care of one of my two cats right after his brother had passed away. Jeff gave my cat, Jerry, so much love and support that his mood gradually improved. He even went above and beyond the call of duty, going to the grocery store to pick up some treats when Jerry would not eat a new flavor that I had purchased for him. Jeff has sat for my cats several times. I recommend him highly and without reservation.

Jeff is such a calm and loving person. Our cat Indy needs a pill and was refusing to let him near her. He consulted with us and we wound up finding a workaround. It could've been stressful but Jeff was an excellent communicator and everything got figured out. He sent many updates which helped ease my anxiety. Lots of cute videos of him brushing her and talking with her. It feels great to have someone we can trust to take great care of her while we're away!

This was our second time hiring Jeff to take care of our cat, Indy. All went great, she seemed to remember him from a few months ago. He's attentive to sending texts and videos with each visit, which helps me manage my anxiety about leaving her at home when we travel. Great sitter who truly cares about cats and their humans!

Jeff did all of the necessary duties to expectation: he arrived on time, did food and litter as requested, and sent videos. He did not seem to give our cat much attention or play time--after requesting more play, we observed on our home camera Jeff taking out a toy to record a 10 sec video, then putting it away right after! Seemed more concerned with his phone and recording than with the cat.

Response from Jeff

I appreciate Max’s comments on whether in short visits my primary focus should be on play or videos in the 10 or fewer minutes remaining after usual kitty chores. I now will ask prospective clients their preference!

We are so fortunate to have found Jeff. He is absolutely wonderful with our four cats. Not only does he spend quality time with them- playing, petting and making sure they feel comfortable while we’re away- but he’s also been amazing at giving medication to one of our cats who needs daily treatment. That alone is no small task and he handles it with patience and care. One of the things that we appreciate most is that he sends videos and pictures from every visit. It’s such a comfort to see our cats relaxed and happy, and it helps us stay connected with them while we’re gone. It gives us such piece of mind knowing our cats are in such good hands. They clearly trust him and that means everything. We can’t recommend Jeff highly enough for anyone looking for a compassionate and skilled cat sitter.

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.

Chesterfield cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!
