As a lifelong animal lover, I've got over 20 years of animal care experience under my belt. My experience and skills extend beyond just cats and to the likes of dogs, horses, donkeys, goats, rats, fish, and hedgehogs just to name a few. I'm not here to just make sure your cat is fed and the litter ox is clean. No, I'm here to be more than just a stranger to the cats under my care, but their new best friend. I promise to make a stressful experience a little less lonely and much more enjoyable for your cat.

Learn More About Jakob

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a kitty named Saber whom I have hand raised since she was just three months old. Like her ad, she loves to talk and is very opinionated. She's a total diva who demands being the center of attention at all times and will not hesitate to block the TV until she gets what she wants.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I have a preference for wand toys and kick scratchers. I generally try to stray away from laser toys as they can actually raise a cat's anxietybsimply over the fact that they can't actually catch the red dot.

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

In my experience, it's best to let them engage with me on their own terms. Trying to rush them or force them to socialize more than they're comfortable with is liable to only upset them or worsen their anxiety. It also helps to move slowly so they're not taken back by sudden movement.

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!
