Cat Sitting in Charlotte, NC

I truly love all cats; timid, playful, shy, kittens and seniors alike. My goal is to make every kitty’s life as stress-free and comfortable as possible. I adjust my approach based on each cats personality and I have a knack for earning the trust of even the most reserved felines by respecting their space and letting them come to me on their own terms.

Beyond caring for your cats, I also keep an eye on your home, ensuring everything stays in order. If I notice any issues, I’ll let you know and do my best to address them.

Communication is key to a great pet-sitting experience...

Beyond caring for your cats, I also keep an eye on your home, ensuring everything stays in order. If I notice any issues, I’ll let you know and do my best to address them.

Communication is key to a great pet-sitting experience. Whether it’s sending updates with photos or following your specific care instructions, I strive to make sure you feel at ease while you're away. I understand how strange it can be for both you and your pets to be apart, so I treat your home and cats with the same love and respect as I do my own.

What sets me apart as a sitter is my extensive hands-on experience with animals and my deep understanding of their unique needs. I currently care for my senior cat, Kitty (16) and Molly (9), who has digestive issues, so I’m well-versed in providing attentive care for pets with medical or age-related needs.

I’m also actively involved in TNR (trap-neuter-return) efforts for feral cats and regularly feed and care for neighborhood strays. I’ve even gained the trust of two feral cats to the point where I can flea-comb them!

I’d love the opportunity to care for your cats and provide them with the patience, love and understanding they deserve!

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 soulcat, Kitty, who is 16, and Molly, my 9-year-old comedic relief derpy butt. I also have a garage cat, Ladybug, who was a feral that I managed to socialize, get spayed and while keeping her in the garage to recover from surgery, she just never left! Ladybug now protects the yard against bugs.

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 incredible job taking care of my kitty, Sirius! She was truly a lifesaver, especially since I had to book last minute during a holiday weekend 🙏 She found the perfect way to interact with Sirius and sent me tons of adorable photos. She even offered to fix my broken ceramic cup — a gift from a friend 🥹 That meant so much. Whenever I need a sitter, I’ll be more than happy to have her watch Sirius again. I'm sure Sirius feels the same way. Thank you, Jessica! ❤️

This was our first time using this service since our cat, Anchovy, needed to get medication while we were gone and it couldn’t have gone better! Jessica kept us updated and in the loop the whole time and made our kitty so much more comfortable!

Jessica was amazing, as always! She had no problem adjusting to some recent changes to our senior kittie’s diet and medication schedule. I can always tell from her photo and video updates that Mittens is a very happy cat while we were away and didn’t even miss us while Jessica was visiting!

Jessica was great! She came within the window that we discussed and gave plenty of cuddles to our baby. When we got home, we also found a very sweet card from Jessica about how much she enjoyed our cat, Uno! It was such a wonderful touch and very thoughtful and sweet! We will definitely use her again.

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.

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!
