I'm Jennifer
Cat Sitting in San Antonio, TX
I bring over 25 years of hands-on experience with cats of all ages, from neonates to cherished seniors. I’ve been a lifelong multi-cat owner, adopting and rescuing cats through local shelters and rescue centers. My beloved Chloe lived to 18 ½ years and my second eldest, Dobey, lived to be 17. Today, I share my home with Simba, Cashew, and Fiona, ranging in age from 2 to 11 years old... Hello, fellow cat parents! My name is Jennifer, and I would be honored to care for your feline family members while you’re away.

In addition to being a devoted cat parent, I'm currently fostering for a local rescue have recently fostered for ACS. I have fostered both cats and dogs, including bottle-fed neonates. I also have medical care experience, including administering subcutaneous fluids (for cats with kidney disease and chronic urinary issues), giving B12 injections, and handling oral and topical medications.
Cats are my greatest joy. They make me happy just by being themselves. I consider it a privilege to earn their trust, and I promise to provide the same love, attention, and care for your feline companions as I do for my own.
Learn More About Jennifer
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Cats just bring me joy. I love meeting and learning about different cat's personalities. I love observing their behaviors. They are fascinating fur babies. Every cat deserves to treated like royalty and I enjoy caring and showering them with love. I love when cats start recognizing me and greeting me when they see me.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
This is extremely important, the safety and security of the cats. I would like a meet and greet first to go over routine, safety, cats personalities, and all instructions. When cat sitting, all exterior doors and windows should be closed and locked. No small objects or toxic food/chemicals should be out. The cats are probably stressed out with the owners away so keeping them on their feeding schedule is key with some play time. A stressed cat is not a happy cat. Routine is key to prevent unwanted or unsafe behavior. I would need emergency contacts, a local preferred vet, neighbor, family member. If administering medication, I need clear instructions and I would document when it was administered. I would provide photos & videos of cats and a brief description of the visits. This way the owners could be aware I was there and contact me if needed.
Are you usually available during holidays?
I'm mostly in town for holidays. Most of my family live in San Antonio with me. I'm willing to dedicate time to make house visits. I understand hesitating to leave your cat(s) for a trip if you don't have someone you trust to care for them. Consistency is key.

We booked Jennifer at the very last minute after our usual sitter had to undergo emergency surgery, and she immediately put us at ease. Her care for Ginger was obvious from the moment she walked in and asked if she could sit on the floor to get to know Ginger. She was thoughtful, gentle, and attentive to every detail. Her communication was outstanding throughout the stay, with regular updates, photos, videos, and quick responses that made us feel completely confident with her. For a first-time sitter with us, she exceeded every expectation. We're incredibly grateful and would happily book her again.

Jennifer is a phenomenal pet sitter! Prompt, detailed, and truly cares about the well-being of your babies. She took fantastic care of my two kitties, including one with medication requirements he's grumpy about. I was able to leave without being worried for my furry kids for the first time in ages!

Jennifer is truly a special person when it comes to animals! She arrived on time for each interaction with the girls and they came came running to her for attention. (this hardly ever happens when it comes to cats.) I cannot thank her enough for watching my kiddos while I was away on vacation! I will use her again in the future.

Jennifer is the kindest and most empathetic caregiver I have ever had the privilege of working with. She demonstrates how much she cares about my baby through her actions as much as her words. Jennifer is an exceptional communicator, very prompt and thorough. I cannot recommend her services highly enough.

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.
San Antonio cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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!

Jennifer is the best pet sitter I've ever had. I trust her fully with my fur babies. She's watched my pets numerous times over the years. I love the daily feedback I get and pictures she sends me when I'm out of town and missing them. NGL, sometimes I think my pets are getting a better vacation than me!
