I'm Jennifer
Cat Sitting in Eugene, OR
I've always loved cats and have lived with many kitties in my life. Currently I have one cat, a 3 year old tuxedo named Ruth. She is a bit grumpy and also a joy to be around (most of the time)... Hello! My name is Jen, I'm 41 years old, and I have had cats my entire life. I have experience with taking care of my own and with taking care of cats for friends, neighbors, and clients. I am a huge cat lover and have a lot of respect for their varying personalities. There are few things more satisfying than the "not-so-friendly" cat choosing you. I would love to cuddle and love on your kitties, but I understand that not all cats are on board with strangers. Therefore, I will scoop the litterbox, spend time playing with your cat, administer medication (pills/drops), or completely avoid your cat; whatever they need to be taken care of while you're gone! I am an open communicator and will follow all Meowtel policies regarding updates during my visit, so you can look forward to receiving photos of my completed tasks. I'm also a passionate photographer, so expect a cute photo or three as well.

As a cat parent myself, I understand how stressful it can be to leave your cat in another's care. Your cat's well-being is my top priority, and I'm committed to meeting and exceeding your expectations. I'm highly attentive to your specific instructions and preferences to ensure your cat receives the best care possible. When I meet a new cat, I approach them with patience and respect for their individual personalities. I allow them to set the pace, giving them space if they're shy or engaging in gentle play if they're more outgoing. Building trust is key, and I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment for them to feel at ease.
I am proficient in administering various cat medications, including topical ointments, eye and ear drops, and oral medication and pills. I do not have experience in administering injections or subcutaneous fluids. I understand the importance of precise dosing and maintaining an stress-free environment during medication administration. I provide cat-sitting services in Eugene and Springfield, Oregon, covering various neighborhoods and smaller cities in the area. I’m a stay at home Mom and my children are both in school (5th and 9th grades) which allows me to easily adapt to whatever sitting schedule and location a customer might need.
I take the health and safety of both your cats and you seriously. I am fully vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19. I follow strict COVID-19 protocols and cleanliness practices within clients' homes, including frequent hand washing and mask-wearing (if you request). Rest assured that your cat's environment will always be kept clean and sanitized according to your preferences. Beyond my passion for cats, I'm an avid reader of all genres, I love movies and musicals, and I travel often.
Your cats and I will have a fantastic time together, whether it's giving them chin scratches or playing with their favorite toy. Let's create purrfect memories for your feline besties!

Jennifer gave great updates on how my elder kitty was doing - how he was mood wise, acting, what he was doing, how he was eating. And she gave him lots of petting for purrs! Really put me at ease as he had recently had a health incident. Definitely recommend!

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.
Eugene cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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!
