I'm Jannette
Cat Sitting in Staten Island, NY
I adore cats and I know that I’d want my baby treated with respect, kindness and affection so I can assure you that your baby would receive nothing less !
Getting to know your cat and their preferences is something I would prioritize as I know that at first it can be hard to accept a change in their usual routin... Hey heyyy! My name is Jannette and I’m the proud mom of my 6 year old kitty named Tato!
I adore cats and I know that I’d want my baby treated with respect, kindness and affection so I can assure you that your baby would receive nothing less !
Getting to know your cat and their preferences is something I would prioritize as I know that at first it can be hard to accept a change in their usual routine so with my patient and calm nature I’d be able to help them navigate their day as they usually would ^^
During my visit I would make sure that alongside your cats basic needs being met (such as making sure there’s clean water, cleaning the litter box and having fresh food) that your cat would receive positive energy from me in the form of playing, peaceful coexistence or another sort of affection!
Learn More About Jannette
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have one 6yr old (7 in July!) kitty! His name is Tato and I honestly don’t know what my life would look like without him! He’s brought so much joy in my life!!
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes! You can count on me to be available during any holidays or summer vacations you would be taking !
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
If I notice that your bag is a bit reserved upon our introduction, I would give them space. I would also talk to them, letting them know who I am, and what I will be doing in their home. I know that being heard by them will help them to get accustomed to my being there as even if I can’t see them, that doesn’t mean they can see or hear me! If appropriate I would hold out treats and wait to be approached by your cat^^ I wouldn’t want to spook them by walking over when they’re not ready!

I am so glad Jannette was available to take care of my cat, Linden! She sent thoughtful updates and photos each time she visited. My situation had a lot of logistical moving parts, and Jannette graciously handled all of them. It was also such a relief to know that Linden received his medication (eye drops) from a caring professional with prior medication experience. Thank you Jannette!!

Janette is THE BEST. She spent more than the booked time, she played with the boys, spent extra time cuddling with them. She left the place clean and tidy and sent super detailed updates. Jannette is the best!

We had the best experience with Jannette! I was nervous since this was our first time leaving Kitten Face but Jannette took such good care of her. She sent pics and updates the whole time and had such a calming and warm presence I knew kitten was in good hands. We had a lot of travel issues and she was so flexible and accommodating it was such a relief to not have to worry about the cat also. Will definitely be using her again. 10/10 would recommend.

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.
Staten Island cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. 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!
