I'm Jessica
Cat Sitting in Hampton, VA
I would love to pet sit your cat while you are away and make sure they are happy and comfortable until you return. I’ve had to rely on pet sitters many times in my career, so I know how anxious it it can feel!
Learn More About Jessica
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Each cat is unique! I love getting to know each kitty for who they are and what they like. No two cats are the same.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have 3 beautiful cats; a bonded pair named Claire and Felix, and a large orange and white one ear cat named Bagel. Felix and Bagel love to cuddle with their favorite people. Claire loves socializing with people and getting into things/exploring.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Your cat misses you more than you may realize when you are away. Most cats are used to humans being around. Hiring a professional cat sitter can help put both you and your cat at ease, and help ensure your cat isn’t lonely. After doing this for several years now, I’ve noticed even the most shy cats come to appreciate human interaction while you are away. I could never replace you, but I can help them feel comfortable and reassured so you can enjoy your trip!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I never force the cat to do anything, it is completely up to the cat how much they want to interact. Usually, giving them the space to get comfortable and being patient helps calm them. If you have an Alexa (or something similar), I will probably put on music for cats as I’ve found it to help relax anxious kitties. If your cat has separation anxiety, I may request you leave a shirt you’ve worn recently behind near where they sleep - your scent will reassure them.

Jessica was absolutely amazing and great with my two cats! She was very diligent about sending updates with pictures and videos of her check-ins and made sure each cat had plenty of love and attention. My kitten has some health issues and Jessica was even able to pill her and do her dental care! I'm so grateful she was available to take care of my kids while I was away.

My second time having Jessica watch my cats went as perfect as the first time! My one very shy guy absolutely loves Jessica! He comes right out, purring and head butting her - just melts my heart! I never have to worry about them because I know they are going to be taken care of while I’m away. Don’t hesitate to hire Jessica to watch your cats!

Jessica was the absolute best! I have two cats and one is afraid of every little noise and I was thrilled to see a video of him coming out for pets during Jessica's first visit! She provided me with lots of updates, including videos and photos. This was the first time I had someone watch my cats that wasn't a family member or friend, so I was a little nervous. However, Jessica made me feel like a friend/family member was taking care of them when I was away. I highly recommend her to watch your fur babies! I will absolutely use this service (and hopefully Jessica) for my future trips!

Jessica was excellent, and provided amazing updates with tons of photos every day. My cats never seemed remotely shy around her, so their review was great, too!

Jessica was great with our 3 cats! They warmed up to her even though 2/3 are normally shy, and she sent a ton of photos of them eating, snuggling, and playing. She was able to give one cat her meds and made sure that each kitty got individual playtime and pets. 11/10 recommend! The cats seemed very happy and relaxed when we got home. Thank you so much!

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.
Hampton cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $31.00. 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!

We hired Jessica (Tacoma, WA) to catsit while we were in Hawaii. Our cat is very shy (rescue kitty) and we don't leave him alone often. Jessica took the time to update me with many daily pictures and texts! We also feed several feral cats and she did her best to make sure they had food while we were away. She is the type of sitter who goes far above and beyond what is expected i.e. left us with garbage bags because she saw we were low and bought a new cat toy for our shy boy as an attempt to get him to play. She was asked to use our portable AC (we had a few hot days), put the garbage out, open windows etc. She willingly helped us out. It's tough being 6 hours away, across the ocean, but she made it possible for us to relax and really enjoy our trip. I can't say enough nice things about her. I strongly recommend Jessica! We will definitely be using her again!

Jessica was just fantastic and even though our kitties weren’t too social she made an extra effort to engage them, take pics and text updates so we had daily updates throughout our holiday travel. She is dependable (even in crazy weather!) and easy to communicate with. We were convinced she really loves providing this service which is why we won’t hesitate to call her again.

I was so grateful to find Jessica to be exactly as all of her reviewers described her! Lots of pictures and videos, and a summary of each visit. It’s comforting to see how well your cat is adjusting to her sitter. I also like seeing the pictures of the food because I like our cat’s canned food mashed up, and I could see that on the pictures. It was obvious that our kitty received extra special care!! Will definitely be asking Jessica to take care of our baby again!😺

Jessica was a great communicator and sent photos and videos daily. We loved her updates and felt very safe having her come to our home having just met her. Her love for cats clearly shows, and we’d definitely hire her again if she wasn’t moving! 🥲

I am so grateful that I found Jess to cat sit for us! She went above and beyond in so many ways. Jess took care of our cat with so much love and attention to detail. We have an anxious cat and he has separation anxiety and had trouble adjusting initially. But Jess was so wonderful with him and did everything in her power to make him feel at ease and more comfortable.

Jess was AMAZING! She covered a week long booking at the last minute OVER CHRISTMAS when my sitter had to cancel. I loved getting pics and videos of the cats and one of my boys took a special shine to her! It was was so nice to see.

We have used Jessica solely as our cat sitter! She goes out of her way to leave extremely thorough notes, pictures each time we have used her to sit. Not only does she take excellent care of our very shy male cat but also makes sure food is left out for the feral cats we foster. She is dependable and kind. What a combo! Thank you Jessica! Please keep "cat sitting" forever!

We had never heard of Meowtel and found it by searching other sites. We requested Jessica as she has cats. Most people in the USAF have to pass a background check for a security clearance and as USAF Veterans that was reassuring. During the meet and greet she was greeted by 2 of our 3 cats and asked questions and was attentive. She sent lots of photos and kept us updated on the process. We will definitely ask for her again.

I couldn’t have been happier with my experience! Jess went above and beyond to make my kitty comfortable and content. I got daily updates and pictures which was wonderful. My cat is usually a stress mess when I have to leave her, but not this time thanks to Jess. Will definitely book again!!

Jessica is truly the best! She cares so much, and communicates so well. Even though I was offline most of the time while I was camping, she sent daily updates with a lot of pictures of my sweet, shy boy and everything that goes into taking care of him. She even went above and beyond taking care of house stuff that I never would have expected. I cannot recommend her enough!
Samantha

We will miss Jess as she’s been the best cat sitter we’ve had ever. She’s very thorough and willing to go the extra mile with kitties who make messes. Always happy to do little things, update us on everything and try to play with shy kitties and locate Houdini kitties. Jess is the best!!!

Everything went exceptionally well. We know that when we have Jessica everything will go smoothly and we have someone who really cares for our cat and Ginny (our cat) really likes Jessica. Jessica gives us daily updates on how Ginny is doing and the pictures show that Ginny feels comfortable and safe with Jessica. It makes our being away a lot easier. Jessica is a gem! Couldn't ask for a better cat visitor.

Jessica made it so these cat parents could actually enjoy a few days away knowing our furry ones were well taken care of. She also went beyond bringing in boxes and the recycle bins. Peace of mind. She is an excellent photographer and kept us up to date with great photos.
