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 CKD who is allergic to almost everything, and Zorro, my 8-year-old blind wild child. Both of them have required 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 2 years 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 your home - just ...
Janelle's Reviews
Kimberly
We have been repeat customers of Janelle’s caring service a few times now, but Janelle stepped up in the biggest way this time! Before our trip, our cat had a small wound that needed looking after, and Janelle was extremely attentive to the dressing/care process and sent us many progress photos of everything. She gave us peace of mind in taking those extra steps to ensure our cat had a safe and comfortable experience while we were away.
Kasia
Janelle was amazing and very thorough with her update while I was on vacation. My cats loved her!
Katie
Janelle was fantastic, as always! She makes it so much more comforting to be away, knowing that my cat will be well cared for.
Gretchen
My cats always have a great time with Janelle! I always know that they are in excellent hands with her. She sends the cutest photos and very thorough updates :)
Hannah
Janelle is the best cat sitter you could ask for! She always goes above and beyond to make sure your cats are happy and well taken care of. She sends tons of photos and videos, which is amazing when you are missing your cats. :) I am never worried about my cats safety when Janelle is watching them because I know they are in good hands. She is also phenomenal at giving meds - one of my cats, Maddie, is spicy and shy, and she loved Janelle and took medicine from her! Maddie even nuzzled her, which is uncharacteristic behavior from her! I can’t recommend Janelle enough, she treats my cats like royalty, plays with them, gives them tons of attention, and makes sure they feel loved while I’m gone.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
