Learn More About Jan
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I have always loved cats so cat sitting is perfect for me. I enjoy the different personalities of each cat and love to make them happy.
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
My favorite cat sitting reservations are those where the cats are friendly and eager to see me. I enjoy playing with them and petting them.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
At the present time I have 6 indoor kitties. They are Domino, Chester, Olive, Lodi, Martini and Opal. I also feed and care for 1 TNR cat named Salmon. I hopefully will bring him to be an inside only cat in the near future.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
When hiring a sitter make sure you are comfortable with them at the meet and greet. Give them plenty of details about the care of your cat/cats too.
What is your favorite cat toy?
I have two favorite cat toys that I use. One is a felt catnip fish toy that I make myself and give to customers. The other is various wand type toys that most cats love. You just have to find the right one for them. Some cats like feathers and others mice or balls.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
If a cat is very shy I just talk to them and get near them offering my finger "nose" for them to sniff. Others that don't want to be close I just speak softly and maybe entice then with treats or toys.

Jan is amazing with our sometimes shy kitties. And she was able to give our squirmy Biscuit his transdermal medication while we were gone. She also sent great photos and videos of our two cats for every visit. She is the best!

Jan is great! She’s very experienced, detailed and perceptive. She played with one of my babies at every visit and was very patient with the other who’s pretty shy. Will schedule again!

We would highly recommend Jan for cats that need extra attention because Jan is a pro at the details! Our cat has a medical condition that Jan always keeps a close eye on and during our most recent reservation she was able to warn us when something wasn’t right, leading to us scheduling a vet visit as soon we arrived home. Jan’s attention to detail and amazing communication helped to prevent a bad situation for our cat and we are so grateful!

We asked Jan to cat sit for a mother cat and small kittens we’re fostering, and she did an incredible job!! Jan is obviously a cat expert and adores cats - she also has experience with feral cats/TNR and was great with our unique situation. She responded quickly and gave great updates and photos, and I felt so much better knowing our kitties were cared for while we were out of town. Would highly 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.
Arlington 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!

If my cats could speak and pick their favorite cat-sitter, it would be Jan! She takes such good care of our fur babies and spoils them with catnip fish and playtime. I never have to worry when Jan is taking care of our kitties ❤️

I recently had the pleasure of having Jan care for my two cats, Yuki and Gimli, and I couldn't be happier with her service. Yuki, my 13-year-old shy senior kitty, and Gimli, my 8 month old playful kitten, require special attention, especially since they're still in the process of being introduced. Jan did an excellent job accommodating their needs, ensuring they were kept separate while also providing plenty of companionship. Her visits were a lifesaver, preventing them from feeling lonely. I particularly appreciated how she engaged with both cats, playing with them and bringing along toys that they thoroughly enjoyed. It was clear she genuinely cared about their well-being. I highly recommend Jan to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter. She has a wonderful way with animals, and I felt at ease knowing my cats were in such good hands!

Jan was amazing, and went FAR, above and beyond, with a grumpy cat, and staying in touch, through everything! An extremely sweet woman, who, obviously, adores kitties. Everything was kept clean, organized, brought in my mail - I would have her again, without question

We’ve been looking for a reliable cat sitter since moving to the area a year ago. It’s safe to say we have found the one! Jan is great; she is very professional and took notes to ensure our kitties had the best care possible. She kept us informed with daily videos and photos. Even our shy kitty played with Jan! We are more than happy with Jan’s expert service.

We use Jan every time we leave the house for a few days. We can rely on Jan to take great care of the cats and give them plenty of ove while we are gone. Jan brings homemade treats over for the cats so they have some new toys to play with. She’s obviously a great cat mom and cares for our cats as though they were her own.

I'm so so happy to have found Jan for my two kitties. she showed up right on time for our first meeting. Even though she spent over an hour with us that day, I just knew within 5 min that Jan would be the best person to care for my two cats when I'm out of town. we have a 9 day trip coming up so immediately booked her as I feel comfortable knowing she'll be the one caring for my cats. I would highly recommend her to my friends and family.

Jan was absolutely wonderful! This was my first time using a cat sitter. Both of my cats are very friendly, but Jan went the extra mile to play with them and make them feel loved. I had a great week knowing she was taking care of my babies!

10/10 recommend!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I am a veterinarian and my 3 Siamese mean the world to me. From the moment that I met Jan when she first came to my home to meet me and them, I knew after talking to her for 5 minutes (and she stayed to talk with me for 45 minutes!) that I had picked the right person to care for them while I was away for a week. She went above and beyond in her taking care of them! All three of my cats hide whenever a new person comes over. However, within two days of her coming over she had ALL of them out of their hiding spots, playing with her and getting pets from her! I was absolutely astounded to see that! Jan is truly a cat whisperer of the finest and highest degree!!!!! She sent me multiple photos and videos every single day of them looking happy and playing with her! I think my cats actually may now like her more than me! She also brought in my mail and the Amazon packages I received. I cannot say enough about the absolutely exquisite care and love she gave to my three cats. When I have to leave town in the future it will be Jan and only Jan that will be watching them!! I 100% recommend her!!! She is absolutely the best cat sitter I have ever had!!!!!

Jan was fantastic with our cats. She brought new toys, brushed and played with each of our cats while we were gone. She even clipped their claws! We have two cats that are still separated wile we acclimate them. Jan was very careful to keep them apart and give them individual attention. Our cats were all very happy while we were gone. I think they were still looking for Jan once we did get home :) I'll also note that it was just before Christmas and Jan made sure any packages or mail were brought in and put in a safe place where the cats couldn't get to any boxes. We highly recomend Jan and plan to call her whenever we need a pet sitter.

Jan was awesome! We booked kind of last-minute and scheduling a meet and greet was a breeze. She is an experienced cat owner and knew how to handle our friendly snuggle bug as well as our older cat that would rather not have anything to do with anybody. She even went above and beyond bringing packages into the house, offered to water plants, and sent multiple pictures and videos each day. We felt completely comfortable leaving our cats at home. When we need kitty-care services in the future we will definitely see if Jan is available again.

I would like to take this opportunity to review our experience with Jan. We had been using a petsitting service for the last 20 years. We never had anything to compare to beforehand. I wish we had found Jan 20 years ago. She is by far the best pet sitter we have ever had. Jan deeply cares about the pets she is caring for. The fact that she actually spends time with your cats takes pictures/videos of them plays with them is going well beyond what one would expect from a pet-sitting service. In addition, Jan had to provide meds twice per day for one of our cats. I would highly recommend Jan.

Jan was awesome!! She was a better cat sitter than I ever could have asked for. I have never seen them warm up to someone new so fast. She took it upon herself to give my boys handmade toys and even thought to water my garden. She will be my go-to cat companion from now on!
