Cat Sitting in Jena – Care for Your Cat at Home
Cats are creatures of habit. A boarding facility often causes real stress – changed appetite, hiding, restlessness. We come to your home instead, keep her routine and give her attention.
Cat sitting at home in Jena means your cat stays in her own territory. We keep her feeding times, clean the litter box, refill fresh water and take time to play and cuddle if she wants to.
You receive a short status message after each visit – and photos on request. If she eats less than usual, hides in a new spot or behaves differently, we let you know right away.
- One or two visits per day
- Feeding as instructed (dry, wet or raw)
- Fresh water at every visit
- Litter box cleaning
- Play and gentle attention
- Medication after clear written instructions
- Short status message after every visit
- Photo updates on request
Why in-home cat sitting is calmer for your cat
Cats bond to their territory more than to a place. In a boarding facility they often stop eating, hide for days or become restless. A sitter who comes to your home keeps everything they are used to: their smells, their favourite spots, their food and their routine.
First meeting & bookings
Before the first booking we meet you and your cat for a free pre-visit. We write down her feeding, her hiding places and any special needs, and agree on the key handover. Weekly packages are available on request.
Why choose a local service instead of an online platform?
You always deal directly with Melanie – the owner of JenWatch – not a rotating list of strangers.
We know the districts, streets and typical routines in Jena and the surrounding area.
The price you see is the price you pay – no commission or booking fees on top.
JenWatch carries business liability insurance (Barmenia Gothaer).
You receive a short status message – and photos on request – after each visit.
By phone, WhatsApp or email – in English or German, whichever you prefer.
