Learn More About Jessica

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I've been caring for my own cats for over 16 years now. Cat sitting specifically, I have looked after cats of family friends for over 25 years.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I most enjoy getting to know as many cats as possible. They each are so different with their markings and personalities. I love being able to win over the most shy or 'mean' ones with my unwaivering love and utmost respect.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I currently care for my senior cat, Kitty, who is 16, and Molly, my 9-year-old derpy butt. I also have a garage cat, who was a feral that I managed to socialize, get fixed and while keeping her in the garage to recover from surgery, she just never left!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

My advice is to go with your gut. Read their bio, make sure they are on the same page as you regarding respect and availability. You know your cats better than anyone, so choose someone that you know will be best for them.

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

Communication, communication, communication! I'd much rather ask you a million questions to ensure I have the full picture than to ask simple questions during your time away. But that also doesn't mean that I'm not afraid of giving you updates or asking clarification during the reservation either.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I treat your cats and home like I would my own. I give treats when I'm leaving so I can physically put eyes on my cats so I know they are good. Of course lock all doors and ensure they actually click closed with the extra knob turn to confirm it's locked.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, my family and my husbands family are both local so we rarely go out of town for holidays and if we visit either, it's only for half the day.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love to handmake my own cat toys that range from twirly ones with approved ribbon or custom catnip filled ones. I will also modify/enhance bought toys such as sewing a new cover for it or adding better attachments to it.

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

These cats are my specialty! I win them over by 'ignoring' them, letting them smell my belongings without me hovering and always allow them to come to me first. I get down on their level and ensure all my movements are calculated and intentional so they know what to expect from me.

Jessica did an amazing job taking care of my baby Vada! She sent lots of pictures so I always felt connected even across the world. Vada loved Jessica the moment she met her and brought her a special cat nip toy! Thank you Jessica! 🫶😻

Jessica was a great sitter. She was very patient with my cats. They hid the whole time but it didn’t stop her from trying to give treats and search for them just to say hi. She was very punctual and followed my insane feeding schedule perfectly. She also cared for my plants by turning lights off and on. (I have a lot of lights). She made me feel relief in a hard time in my life and I cannot say thank you enough. I absolutely, hands down recommend Jessica.

Jessica is an absolute kitty whisperer and the kindest, most helpful sitter we could have asked for. My cat was very shy but Jessica went above and beyond to make him comfortable and meet him where he was at. She was very thorough at our meet & greet, and even set up a kitty cam while we were gone. We will certainly be booking Jessica again and I am so grateful to have connected here!

Jessica is the first person that I call when I need someone to keep an eye on my cats because I know she will treat them like her own. She’s will take the time to play with them if they seem like they need to play, or sit with them if they seem anxious.

Frequently Asked Questions

Charlotte cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $26.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

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.
