Learn More About Jessica

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 3 kitties myself. Jeter is 13 years old and loves to lounge put. Buddy is approximately the same age and he loves to play even if he has one eye only. Ortin is my little baby and she just turned two. She is a little menace but funny to watch.

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

Every cat has a different personality. Listening to their owners who know them best would be my first step. While approaching any cat I know it's best to kneel down and get on their level and let them come to you. If they don't come to you then it's best to let them be until they are more comfortable with you. Depending on the instructions of the owners, I would try giving them treats or try to play with them if they have toys.

I couldn’t be happier with the care my cats Cannoli and Meatball received! Meatball is a diabetic cat; taking care of him requires reliability, attention to detail, and real compassion—and Jessica exceeded all expectations. From administering insulin on schedule to monitoring appetite and behavior, everything was handled with confidence and care. I received regular updates that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Both cats were calm, comfortable, and clearly well cared for when I returned. I would absolutely trust Jessica again and highly recommend her to anyone, especially those with pets who have special medical needs.

This is the second time I've used Jessica and this time for a full week. She was communicative and sent daily photos of my cats. She is now my go to anytime I travel. And she even stripped the guest room bed and started the wash, small thing but that is above and beyond. Please don't hesitate to use her.

Don't hesitate to use Jessica. This is my 4th time using her and I go away knowing my cats are well cared for. She even brought them Valentine treats. I have at least 2 more trips this year and she will be my go to sitter.

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.

Palmyra cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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 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!
