Learn More About Jodi

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

I have now been cat sitting since June of 2023 and can't believe how much I LOVE this "job"! I was a client of Meowtel before I became a sitter. For over four years I have been a repeat customer and have met and worked with several amazing cat sitters. I did have one incident with a sitter and was beyond impressed with the immediate and communicative response I received from Meowtel. From that experience I learned first-hand this is a committed company that I would be proud to work with and represent. I have also learned how important it is to follow directions, clean each visit, and commit to clear and consistent communication in order to help my cat families have peace of mind that their fur babies are in caring, capable hands.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I have always been a people person. I have learned later in life that I am also a cat person. I loved on students for over 30 years; I'm excited to love on cats in this next chapter. I took great pride in getting to know the personalities and needs of each of my students and do the same for each of my cat friends. I experience great joy taking care of my client's cats so they can work or play or relax without worry.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I am the proud mama of three senior cats. I rescued two cats in 2013. One morning students watched a woman drop off two build-a-bear type boxes near the bus loop at our school. When they saw the boxes moving and two grey heads pop out, they ran to get our librarian who they knew would help. She was afraid of the chaos two cats in a library would cause so I offered to bring the cats into my office for the day. The boxes/cats were labeled "PIGEON" and "TOUCAN". Five minutes in I knew they would go home with me. The car ride home was complete chaos and it was then my cats earned the names THELMA & LOUISE. Tuxie became mine through marriage and to my husband's dismay, I have become her favorite human.

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

I became interested in cat sitting for Meowtel because I was first a Meowtel customer. Through experience I have learned that the meet and greet is an important first step in choosing a cat sitter. Make sure the sitter is taking notes and will be able to follow your instructions. You can also tell from this exchange whether the sitter is truly a cat person - do they interact with your cat(s)? Are they quickly responding to your messages as you set up your reservation? Some good questions to ask during the meet and greet are: Will they let you know when they are on their way? Will they be able to give you a consistent time they will be visiting each day? I have had 3 different sitters with Meowtel but have found my favorite!

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

I will gladly come to the home for a meet and greet. I taught in a virtual setting for many years, so I am comfortable meeting online as well. I will also come with a notebook ready to take copious notes to ensure I follow all directions.

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

As a retired teacher it has become part of my DNA to think about the what ifs and plan, plan, plan. I will carry extra cat litter, cleaning supplies, and toys and treats in my car for those just in case situations. I will take thorough notes and ask important questions. I will treat your home and care for it like it is my own. There is nothing more important to us than our family, homes, pets. Should you trust me to take care of your pets and home, I will take that responsibility very seriously!

Are you usually available during holidays?

My family is committed to helping me build my clientele. For the next year we plan to take our vacations during off seasons so that I am available for vacationing families.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love to use laser pointers and feathers on a stick with our cats. We also love to put on "cat TV" and watch our sleeping beauties become fully alert as they watch squirrels, mice and birds flit across the screen. We even have them play a mouse catching game on the iPad - currently Louise is our top scorer!

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

My husband came to our relationship with a shy, timid cat. Tuxie's face is listed under skittish in the dictionary - poor thing was rescued as a kitten from under a shed surrounded by large barking, aggressive dogs. But this sweet anxious old girl helped me convince my husband I was not only a keeper but also a magic cat whisperer because she came out of hiding to let me love on her on day one and slept on my legs on night one. He was stunned! I know that sudden movements and loud noises are often triggers. I will calmly and patiently let your cat learn I am a friend. Lickable treats (if allowed) are also a great friendship making tool. I also can mimic any meow almost perfectly - I think anxious cats appreciate it when I speak their language! :)

I am a repeat client. Jodi took wonderful care of my cat while I was away. My cat was recovering from an illness and even threw up during my trip, but Jodi handled everything with such care. She cleaned her up, made sure she was okay, and kept a close eye on her recovery. I especially appreciated her excellent communication—she sent frequent updates, photos, and messages that gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear from the pictures and my cat’s behavior when I returned that she was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust Jodi with my cat again and highly recommend her!

Jodi is extremely cognizant, detailed, and dependable. Every pet owner dreads leaving their fur babies when they’re away, but Jodi eased the anxiety for me and took such great care of my cats, and sent endless photos and updates! I have a particular case because I have five cats - four are my own, one of which has special needs, and one foster cat; all together required tremendous work, time, and commitment. She expressed my special needs cat’s bladder three times daily and changed his bandages/provided wound care every other day. She had some experience with this, but became an absolute pro during this process. I was able to relax while I was away, knowing they are well taken care of and spoiled. Jodi genuinely treated my cats like her own and it shows. She was also so flexible when our departing and arriving flight got delayed. She’ll be my go-to pet sitter going forward!

Jodi did a great job watching my four kitties. She followed all of my instructions and things were cleaner when I got home than how I left it. I enjoyed all of the photos that she sent me each day and I could tell that the cats were enjoying her presence. She treated them like her own. They may have been disappointed that I returned home given how much fun they had with her. Jodi is an excellent communicator and pays great attention to detail. She also did a great job administering meds to my senior kitty. She took the time to get to know each of my cats and cater to each of their personalities, which greatly appreciated. I will definitely be using Jodi again!! Thanks Jodi!

Jodi took such wonderful care of our cat, Smokey, while we were away. She truly went above and beyond — giving Smokey lots of love and attention, playing with her, and making sure all of her needs were taken care of. Her communication throughout the stay was stellar. She sent us lots of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind, and she was always proactive about reaching out if she had any questions. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Smokey’s well-being and comfort. When we returned home, Smokey was happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. We are incredibly grateful for Jodi and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, dependable, and attentive pet sitter!

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.

Coppell 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 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!
