Learn More About Jean

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

I've loved sitting for Meowtel! I've been with Meowtel since 2021, and I'm delighted to get my badly needed kitty fix! I also travel internationally, cat-sitting and staying in peoples homes so they are comfortable taking their badly needed vacations. It's been an awesome win/win for me, and it's all thanks to Meowtel.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love it when they are snuggled next to me, purring. I especially love the head butts.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I wish I could pick out a favorite, but frankly I've loved them all.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I don't have any kitties right now. I decided NOT to replace my last cat as I knew I wanted to travel. Then I saw an ad for Meowtel and the rest is history! I get my kitty fix and have the freedom to travel when good opportunities arise. Once the traveling stops, I will reconsider bringing a fur baby or 2 into my home.

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

Not every pet-parent knows the rigorous training and background checks Meowtel practices before allowing someone to be on their platform. They check references thoroughly, have significant training with stages of testing to make sure we understand their rules, and then there is one final test after the video with the CEO where you can't even have one wrong answer! Anyone that makes it on this site is a true cat-lover! This is why I can say that if I'm not available, I know you will be in good hands with other Meowtel cat-sitters.

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

I had one older cat almost die on me. I could sense something was not right, and it was a Friday and made sure we visited the vet as the weekend was approaching. The Vet worked some magic to keep her alive, and I spent many hours in bed with her laying on my chest. I believe it was good timing, intuition and lots of love that kept her alive until the parents came home. Unfortunately she passed a week later.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes I am available during the holidays. Please book early as I get full pretty fast.

What is your favorite cat toy?

The laser light - it's hilarious and they get good exercise chasing it!

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

I let anxious kitties have their space. The best thing I can do is make sure they feel safe. I work quietly to make sure their area is clean and they have good food and clean water. Sometimes I will just sit in the middle of the floor (or even lie down), which sometimes allows them to feel safe getting close to me. Other times I can tell when my presence stresses them out and I do what is best for the cat, leaving them to their safe environment.

Jean is fantastic! I immediately recognized that I was leaving my little guy in the hands of a true cat lady who cared about his well-being as much as I do. Jean sent daily updates with pics and videos and it was obviously at was happy to see her and getting lots of TLC. I think he missed her when I returned!

We could not be happier with the entire process of using Meowtel and with our fabulous pet sitter Jean. Everything went smoothly and we had great peace knowing Jean was there to take care of Theo. Jean gave us regular updates complete with pictures and videos. We are very grateful and will definitely use Jean again!

Very good experience with Jean. Our cat had been stressed after a previous trip. Worked with vet and hired Jean. Cat responded well during pre-visit. Jean communicated daily while we were gone and send some stunning pix of our kitty. Talented eye. Cat was calm and friendly upon our return .

Jean was all around phenomenal. From the beginning, we got explicit confirmation from her that she was all set to take care of our babies and I had to add on more days which went without problem! We got pictures every day to see how happy our cats were. They were in good hands, clearly! Our apartment was well taken care of when we got back - the cats even tried to take apart my fall decorations and Jean nicely moved away all those torn down pieces. When we arrived home, we had much much less to do compared to other sitters! The water bowl was filled and their liter boxes cleaned. The cats were much less anxious when we arrived home. They looked happy and content. Definitely trust Jean and will book with her again!

I was very nervous about leaving Yolo as this was the first time I needed to. Jean was very reassuring to me. She seemed to really bond with Yolo and played with her. She gave me a detailed report each day I was gone and took pictures for me. I would definitely request her again if I need a sitter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Austin cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $26.00. 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.
