I'm Jessica

Cat Sitting in Apex, NC

My name is Jessica, and I adore cats. I have two of my own, both adopted from shelters, both nursed to health from less than ideal beginnings. I’ve been called ‘the cat whisperer’ for my knack of getting some of the more aggressive and shyer cats to come to me for love. I like... My name is Jessica, and I adore cats. I have two of my own, both adopted from shelters, both nursed to health from less than ideal beginnings. I’ve been called ‘the cat whisperer’ for my knack of getting some of the more aggressive and shyer cats to come to me for love. I like them big and small, playful and cuddly, and everything in between. I understand their body language, and know how to give them respect. I also understand how important these wonderful creatures can be to our lives and will treat your fuzzy family members the way they deserve.

Learn More About Jessica

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two cats, Tigger and Roo! Tigger came home first, and because of an injury had a very flat tail end with dark stripping up it. He has a very bouncy personality, and the name just fit. Roo is a snuggle bug, and all he wants is to be held like a baby, or worn like a scarf.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I want to know all about your feline family! First and foremost I’ll ask questions about their personality, likes, and dislikes so I can go in knowing how to approach the cat in a way it likes.

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

Timid and anxious cats need to know that they’re safe. I offer, but don’t force. Hopefully we can be wonderful friends by the end, but no matter what they will get the care they need.

Jessica was so wonderful. She was careful to exactly follow our instructions for feeding and medication. She sent photos of each cat at every visit. spent time with them and went above and beyond by giving the some outside time on the screened porch. Best of all, she managed to win over our skittish cat who in the past has refused to eat when we go away. He warmed up to Jessica really quickly and even showed her some affection. We will definitely hire Jessica again!

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.

Apex 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!
