Cat Sitting in Old Hickory, TN

I've always loved cats. They are kindred spirits, and they make me feel at peace.

I’ve volunteered at The Catio (2021-2024) to help the shy kitties get acclimated, which kept me in tune with my more introverted feline friends. I also have experience with giving kitties medications including pills, liquids, topicals, and injections.

I've always loved cats. They are kindred spirits, and they make me feel at peace.

I’ve volunteered at The Catio (2021-2024) to help the shy kitties get acclimated, which kept me in tune with my more introverted feline friends. I also have experience with giving kitties medications including pills, liquids, topicals, and injections.

When I'm not hanging out with other people's cats, I work in graphic design (occasionally from home with one of my kitties on my lap) weekdays 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Please send me a message if:
• You have any questions or concerns.
• You need a day/time that isn't open on my calendar.
• You’re interested in weekday morning visits. I have very limited availability for these, but I’ll see if I can help.
• You just want to talk about how awesome your cat is.

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

I’ve cat-sat for friends for years, and I started with Meowtel in January 2021. I frequently volunteered to visit shy kitties at The Catio from November 2021 through June 2024.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to know the kitties, taking lots of photos, and helping cat parents feel at ease while they’re away.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My kitties are both elderly rescues. Biscuits is 17, and he loves playtime, snuggles, and meeting new people. Kitty Maow made it to 22 (10/31/2004–1/29/2026), and she enjoyed naps, treats, and classical music.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I’m flexible for most holidays, but I’m usually out of pocket for Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, MLK Day, Memorial Day, and 4th of July.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Whichever toy is your cat’s favorite!

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

Shy kitties are my jam. I like to listen to how their parent speaks to them, so I can call them in the same way (intonation, nicknames, etc.). I try not to make extended eye contact, so the kitty feels more at ease. If a kitty shows any sign of aggression, I give them plenty of space. And I always let a shy kitty have plenty of time to sniff before trying to pet!

We have been honored to have Jennifer stop in and love on our cats many times in the past. This most recent time of visitations was wonderful, too! Jennifer communicates exceptionally well when she visits and leaves us feeling a little better that we had to make our fur boy, King Lemon, stay home alone. I would like to add that this time she even went above and beyond to check up on our tomato plants on the deck for us, too (bad timing as far as thise go for us to be out of town, but we’ve got tomatoes to eat!). Top tier!

Saying Jennifer is a wonderful pet sitter doesn’t even begin to explain how incredible she is. This last visit Jennifer helped me say goodbye to one of my babies (cancer) when I was 2000 miles away. She stayed with my baby till the very end, showering him with love. I am forever grateful for her.

Jennifer is an awesome cat sitter. She does a great job with my fur baby. He is diabetic cat and she takes great care when giving his insulin. I couldn't ask for a better cat sitter.

Having Jennifer take care of our kitties is the best decision we've ever made. She sends the most detailed updates and the best photos of our boys. Not sure of how many times we've used her services, but every time it's phenomenal.

As with past times, Jennifer did an outstanding job stopping in and loving on the fur babies. She does an excellent job documenting everything that she does on the visit and includes lots of photos of the kitties, too! I think Lemon and MudPie get excited when we tell them we have to head out on a trip because they know Jennifer will be by to play! 😊

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.

Old Hickory cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. 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!
