My partner and I currently have 4 fur babies of our own and they are a handful but we love it. My friends often joke that, “if you want a cat, just ask Jae to find one for you”, because cats love to find me when they need help (hence the cat magnet). I have experience with kittens, elderly cats, and sick/difficult cats as well as experience administering pills, topical gel, and eyedrops. Sessions with me would include playing, eating, and lots of love.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I absolutely adore all cats. I love being able to meet new ones and ensure they’re well taken care of and have the attention they need when their owners are away.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 4 beautiful cats. Michelin and Ivy who are the two babies from their litter. Michelin is a gental giant while Ivy is tiny and timid. Yang is my diva (tracks for a calico) and she loves to play fetch and be in your business. Blake is my problem kitty and imprinted on me and ONLY me. She’s very affectionate and loves belly rubs :)

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

Anxious cats need a lot of space and time to trust you. I know from my own cat, Blake, that she will need a lot of time to adjust to new people. I ensure my movements are slow and non-threatening in nature. I usually try to give them treats and lots of positive words to show that I’m here to help them, not hurt them. Each cat has something that will make them more comfortable whether that be food, toys, or pets. Sometimes, they’ll never get fully used to me, and that’s okay. As long as I give them plenty of space and make sure they are doing well, that’s what matters.

My kitty LOVED Jaelynn! A really sweet loving gal. She is definitely a cat person because she UNDERSTANDS ALL their needs! She came to meet my little 15 year old Beau. She got him to eat, she played with him, and he sat on her shoulder! He loved her! Me too! I never worried for a moment. I knew all his needs were met. she sent pictures, let me know he ate. How he was doing.❤️ I can see why she’s SO GOOD with cats. She’s personable, not loud. She took her time to let Beau come to her. He even let her brush him! I am asking her back next month! She did EVERYTHING I ASKED HER TO DO & MORE! Jaelynn put my kitty’s needs above all else. If you want a natural cat mom, THIS IS YOUR GAL! Jaelynn took loving care of my Beau. I know because when I came home, he didn’t give me the “I’ll get you back for leaving me” treatment! 🤣❤️

Jaelynn took care of my cat while I was away for a long-term vacation and kept me worry free throughout. I loved the pictures she sent me each visit and it was so obvious that my cat loved her too! I would definitely ask her another visit for my cat anytime I go on a trip!

Jaelynn did an excellent job caring for our senior cat, Eko while we were traveling! She made us feel comfortable leaving even though Eko was not consistently eating food during this time. Jaelynn sent us lots of updates and pictures, letting us know how much food Eko ate at each meal. She was totally understanding of us being crazy cat parents and it was clear when we met her that Jaelynn loves cats too. This was an overnight sit and our house was also well cared for. We would love to have Jaelynn back for future sits!

2 of my 3 cats immediately fell in love with Jaelynn and my third cat who is terrified of everything even made an appearance for her! I feel super comfortable going out of town knowing that this super chill human is around to be sweet to my fur babies!

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.

Dayton cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $23.00. 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!
