Cat Sitting in Birmingham, AL

Hi, I'm Jess and I'd love to spend some time with your cat while you're busy/out of town! I, myself, have had my cat, CATZILLA or Zil for short, for over 12 years and have used cat sitters(good and bad). I'm the type of cat mom/sitter who will send visit update photos, a summary of how the visit went and probably gush, with you, about how cute your cat is! I'd also love to do anything around the house that's needed: standard- clean the litter box(s), feedings, refreshing water; bringing in mail, watering plants, tidying up after the cats, and taking out the trash. Playtime with my cat includes a lot of fetch, hide and seek, and stimulating games... Hi, I'm Jess and I'd love to spend some time with your cat while you're busy/out of town!

Playtime with my cat includes a lot of fetch, hide and seek, and stimulating games. I'd love to know how your cat plays best! I'm a nurse and having a cat with health concerns means I'm competent in giving medications not only to people but also cats! I think I've pretty much mastered the pill popper! I'd love to chat more about the needs of your cat and how to best serve them in your time away!
A little more about me: I'm a pediatric traveling nurse. I've been traveling for over 8 years now and consider the road my home :) My hobbies include pottery, crocheting, live music, camping, and just about anything outdoors when the sun is shining!
Please feel free to reach out with any questions. My schedule is quite flexible, so even if you don't see all of your dates available please message me to see if we can work something out!

Learn More About Jessica

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite booking was about 2 weeks long with 1 hour visits each day. She was incredibly shy and didn’t enjoy any petting. Lots of growls at the new person entering her home. I started by doing all my normal duties and then sitting in the room she was in, trying to entertain her with different toys. I think it was day 5 and when I sat down she came over and sat in my lap! Her owner was thrilled and so was I. Everyday from there on we continued our routine :)

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

I understand the dread of having to leave your cat alone. My goal is to make it as pain free as possible with constant communication of updates so you know your loved one is being well cared for!

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

I think the initial meeting before a parent leaves the house is important. I like to observe the cat in their home with their people, as well as, learn what works best for your cat. I will usually take some notes to remember different things(food amount, schedule, etc), favorite toys, where they might hide. Just an overall great way to learn more about how best to care for your cat!

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.

Birmingham cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $23.00. 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!
