Learn More About Jace

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have cat sit for friends, family, and coworkers since I was 18. I have had cats since I was young, and I currently have cats

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Being able to play and engage with cats of all personalities, different boundaries, and learning little quirks they have

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! Milo (16yrs), Monet (8yrs), and Matt (11yrs)

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

I would ensure they meet your needs and that you feel confident in your choice, not feeling like you’re “settling” for someone. I would also make sure they’re willing to answer your questions, be consistent with communication, and be friendly and experienced.

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

Most of my cat sitting has been with friends or family, but I would say the best way to go about communicating with a new cat parent would to see what their needs are, their priorities, concerns, and questions are. From there, I would suggest a meet and greet and a run down of everything they would like me to be aware of. I would stay in consistent communication with the cat parent, while sending photo updates. I would also not hesitate to reach out if I had questions regarding anything.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

Be aware of my surroundings, consistently check for any behavioral changes, make sure to close and lock doors behind me, watch where I am stepping, understand the boundaries of the cat I am sitting, and be aware of any quick or sudden movements I’m making that could spook the cat.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I usually have holidays off from my primary job, so I am willing to be flexible with a cat parent’s needs and discuss scheduling needs.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Toys with feathers or wand toys. My cats prefer feather toys due to the primal instincts it can bring out. My bengal also loves crinkle balls and plays fetch with them, and one of my orange tabby cats loves the laser pointer so much, he knows the sound of it being picked up from several rooms away!

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

I give them plenty of space, patience, and respect their boundaries. I will talk to them in a calm and sweet tone while not making any quick or sudden movements. I would assess what movements and tones are acceptable and try my best to accommodate those to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for the cat.

Jace did such a good job taking care of our babies when we were away for our wedding. It made being away for an extended period a lot less stressful. He was a great communicator and probably captured some better photos of our cats than us, haha. He stayed on top of maintaining the litter boxes and was always sure to give them some love and attention.

This is the second time Jace has cared for my kitties and not the last! He does everything just as we discussed, is able to handle updates and adjust as needed. He's flexible and works with my apt-to-change schedule. Knowing Jace is there for my girls pretty much eliminates anxiety about being away from home.

Danielle

Jace took great care of my girls while I was away. One cat is very shy and hides, the other girl can be spicy - but Jace navigated the visits calmly and with care. He was patient with my spicy girl and thoughtful in leaving hidden treats for my shy kitty. He did everything the way we discussed and I was so relieved to know he was stopping in on them. I will definitely be calling on him for kitty care again!

If I could give Jace more than 5 stars, I would! He has looked after Aunt Bea before; and I was so impressed by his responsiveness and solicitude--toward both kitty and her human. Is why I was thrilled that he was available again. And, once again, provided amazing care. I received updates and photos all of which confirmed that Aunt Bea was in the very best of paws. I returned to find her bathroom clean and tidy. Jace even kindly brought in my mail and left a holiday gift of toy and treat for a kitty he described as quite possibly the "sweetest" ever. My mama cat heart swells in pride and gratitude. Thank you, Jace!!

Michelle

Jace was absolutely amazing with my cat Ella! She can be very shy with people she doesn’t know, but from the first meeting I could tell she felt comfortable with Jace. He was a wonderful caretaker and went above and beyond in everything! Communication was wonderful. Every day he sent multiple photos and videos and was quickly available to reply every time I sent him a message. It’s always difficult for me to leave Ella when I go on vacation, but knowing she was in such good hands definitely made it a little easier. I highly recommend Jace and if any more trips are in my future he will absolutely be my first choice for future care. Thank you Jace!

Frequently Asked Questions

Knoxville cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $24.00. 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.
