I'm Janelle | Cat Sitting in Columbus, OH

Hello! My name is Janelle, and I am a cat mom to two special-needs loveable furballs. I’d love to give your cats the special treatment too!! I’ve been owned by cats most of my adult life. Currently I live with Cleo, my senior queen with diabetes and CKD who is allergic to almost everything, and Zorro, my 7-year-old blind wild child. Both of them require special medications and diets, and I would love to care for your cats the way I’ve cared for them over the years! I’ve also volunteered at SaveAGato in Puerto Rico and worked with my neighbors to help feed, care for, and trap local strays in Clintonville. I have been with Meowtel for about a year now, and I love meeting new friends! I have found that my specialty is sitting and waiting patiently for shy kitties to warm up to me and trying other tricks to get them to come out of hiding. I also have experience with giving various types of cat medications, including insulin or other types of injections, special foods/diets, eyedrops, inhalers, ear drops, pills, and more! I have been double-vaxxed and boosted, and I am definitely able to follow whatever COVID protocols you might have in place at you...

Janelle is the best! My two bengals can be a handful, but she does such a wonderful job taking care of all their needs.

I wish I could take a pic of the super sweet “Zoi Report Card” Janelle leaves at the end of her weekend with my cat Zoi. 😻 It is above and beyond and the cutest note to come home to for a cat momma. Thank you again Janelle. 🫶🏼

Janelle was an amazing cat sitter! She sent a lot of fun updates during her visits. She also made sure to update me about the cats’ wellness too! Betty and Judy were in great hands!

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

If you are not fully satisfied with your sitter after the Meet & Greet or during the reservation, please call 1-844-636-9835 so we can help you re-book with a new sitter to ensure we can deliver on our purrfect hospitality promise.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $27.00. 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.
