Learn More About Jacob

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

My favorite part is gaining the trust of a generally wary animal. There's nothing else like having a cat warm up to you and hearing it purr in contentment. It's heart meltingly adorable

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am often available during holidays as I don't tend to celebrate most of them and would rather be cuddled up with a cat on my lap!

What is your favorite cat toy?

The almighty laser pointer! I find that it seems to be the most entertaining for both the cat and the human

Jacob is a kind and compassionate person with a true passion for cat care. He brings so much peace of mind to us when we have to leave town knowing our girls will get their medication and be as cared for as if we were there ourselves. Truly my number one recommended cat sitter, ever!

Whenever Jacob sits my house when I am away I know my animals will be happy and my house will be pristine when I get home. I am no longer stressed when I travel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Richmond cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. 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.
