I'm Jani
Cat Sitting in Saint Louis, MO
I'm a dedicated and trustworthy sitter with 10+ years of experience, and a lifelong love for all things feline. I grew up with cats at home and also spent time around barn cats on a farm. I've met every personality, from playful and bold, to the laid back and shy.
When I visit, I let your cat set the pace, always allowing them to approach me first. I follow their routines to the letter and pride myself in attention to detail. You'll receive daily updates with photos... I'm Jani
I'm a dedicated and trustworthy sitter with 10+ years of experience, and a lifelong love for all things feline. I grew up with cats at home and also spent time around barn cats on a farm. I've met every personality, from playful and bold, to the laid back and shy.
When I visit, I let your cat set the pace, always allowing them to approach me first. I follow their routines to the letter and pride myself in attention to detail. You'll receive daily updates with photos and little notes about your cats day, so you can relax and enjoy your time while you're away.
A little about me: I'm currently studying horticulture, love going on walks, a huge bookworm, and one of my favorite things to do is reading with a cat in my lap.
For me, cat sitting isn't just a quick drop in, it's quality time and a connection that your cat will feel. I'm here to make sure they feel safe and loved while you're away. Excited to share quality time with your cat!

To ensure the safety and security of both the cats and the home, I follow instructions and routines to a T. I maintain a clean environment and respect other people's homes. I also provide regular updates to share any concerns or cute moments.

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.
Saint Louis 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 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!
