i love all animals, but cats have a special place in my heart! please reach out if you want someone who is just as obsessed with your cat as you are!

im able to do up to 2 visits a day on the days i work, more on my days off. Very comfortable with medicating through every route and assessing if a pet needs medical care. typically i am in and out quickly in the mornings, but in the evenings i make time for play and cuddles to help keep your cats regulated and stress free.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

every feline has their own unique personality and i love getting to know them! i especially love the ones that require some trust building!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

i have 5 of my own kitties! Bug, Kickflip, Tetra and Prosciutto are all foster fails and Georgie came with our house. Ive had Bug and Kickflip since they were about 4 weeks old, and Tetra came to me at 8 weeks a couple years ago.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

i like to do at least one visit prior to the actual dates i'll be watching. I like to have typed or written out instructions if at all possible and let me know their quirks! im here to make your cats as relaxed as possible

What is your favorite cat toy?

DA BIRD! listen. i know it sounds ridiculous to pay $24 for a feather wand but HEAR ME OUT. it moves like a real bird and cats go craaazzy for it. I normally have to make my kiddos take breaks from it hahah

This was our first time using Jerilyn. She was very communicative and easy to reach. She took great care of our girls and really takes the time to get to know them and their unique personalities. We will definitely be using her again! 😻

I had to go out of town last minute for a family emergency and Jerilyn was instantly available. She came and met my cats and got to know the routine. I have 9 cats in the main house and 1 foster cat in her own bedroom. That's a lot of work. She sent me daily updates and pictures. She had catnip parties, couch snuggles, cuddle fests, and quiet time with all of them. I couldn't believe all my cats came out for her! She took great care of them, did a ton of litter box cleaning, kept them fed and happy, and also did medications for my hyperthyroid kitty. I felt comfortable leaving them with her and it took one very large worry of my plate while I focused on my human family. I highly recommend her! She will be my go to from now on!

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.

Lexington cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $28.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
