Learn More About Jake

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I most enjoy the time I get to spend with animals, but I also love the peace of mind I give clients while they are away.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two exotic shorthair cats, E.T. also known as "Extra Tony", and Butters also known as "Buddy". I love them so much.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am available on holidays unless otherwise reflected on my availability calendar

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toy is a small fly fishing rod and fly that my friend made out of chicken neck feathers

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

Some cats need extra space and that is okay. Some cats need extra time and patience and that is ok. I will set a routine and stick with it and let the cat warm up to it.

Everything about my experience with Jake was great, from the communication beforehand throughout the days he took care of my three cats. He checked in regularly and sent pictures and videos. It was the first time I left my cats and when I came back and they were calm and happy. I would definitely hire him again!

Jake took care of my 2 cats, one that has asthma. I was worried about her taking her medication because she is wary of strangers. This did not scare him away and he was able to successfully give her a pill concealed in a treat. I looked forward to his daily updates and pictures which eased my anxiety. I highly recommend him.

Frequently Asked Questions

South Burlington cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $27.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
