I've handled and taken care of cats for a long time. Ever since I was young I have had cats while growing up. I have primarily worked at an animal hospital with veteranarians in the clinic while assisting them with animals, administering medication when it's needed, managing the boarding facility, and deep cleaning. I've done cat sitting for a long time alongside of working in veterinary care. I have also worked with cats that were bottle fed all the way to senior care. I'd be more than happy to give your loving friend the care it deserves, while you're away!

Learn More About Gary

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been cat sitting for around 10 years, alongside of working in a veterinary setting and boarding facilities as a manager. I have a lot of experience over the years for that reason.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I most enjoy about cat sitting is taking care of a cat parent's little furball while they're away on vacation or whatever occasion without worry. I provide only the best care for cats.

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

I reach out to the cat parent first and let the parent know my schedule, pay, location, and more. I also ask what the cat's preferences are, if they have medication, and so on. As well as a meet and greet first with the cat and it's parent before the date of the cat sitting.

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.

Athens cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
