I work as a software engineer, remotely, so I have the flexibility to care for your kitties during the week or while you're away on a getaway--whenever and wherever you need! Based in Birmingham, I’m available locally to ensure your cats are in good hands.

I have experience with both geriatric cats and kittens, as well as administering medications and behavior training. Toulouse and Sipsey are avid FluentPet button users, so they let me know their thoughts and feelings on a daily basis!

I believe in staying connected, so I’ll be sure to send you photos and updates while you’re away, so you can rest easy knowing your kitty is getting the best care possible.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you and learning more about your kitties!

Learn More About Alyssa

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

I have owned and cared for cats for 25 years, but have cat sit for friends, co-workers, customers and family for over a decade.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

My favorite thing about any cat sitting opportunity is getting to know more about a kitty and their unique personality! Finding out what makes a cat themselves is always the most beautiful part of making a new kitty friend!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite cat-sitting reservation I've ever done was with a cat named Tommie who had a very extensive vocabulary, and a tight schedule. He used pet buttons (which inspired me to get some for my cats) to tell me his needs and wants--especially when it was his dinner time!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes I do! Their names are Toulouse and Sipsey. Sipsey is our house panther and Toulouse is our lovely tuxedo torbie!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I am usually available during the holidays, and they should be marked as available on my scheduling calendar for your convenience!

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toy has got to be Toulouse's catnip teabag. It's his favorite toy to bring with him around the house. It says "Earl Gray" and is hand knit with wool yarn.

Finding an exceptional cat sitter who truly understands your feline companion is rare, and my recent experience was nothing short of perfection. From the very first visit, Alyssa provided incredibly detailed reports paired with adorable photos that gave my family absolute peace of mind while traveling. She perfectly followed all instructions and even went the extra mile by teaching him how to sit and introducing a new toy that he now loves. What truly blew me away was returning to a cat who was noticeably healthier, calmer, more affectionate, and more playful than before we left. Alyssa clearly went above and beyond basic care, engaging with him mentally and physically during every session. If you are looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and passionate professional to look after your furry family member, look no further. I cannot recommend Alyssa highly enough!

Alyssa provided detailed updates on our cat with each visit, providing updates on play activity, the amount of food and water our cat ate, as well as assisting with cleaning litter and providing cuddles to our cat. She followed all provided instructions perfectly, and ensured that we felt comfortable and confident in our cats care. I would recommend Alyssa to anybody looking for a cat sitter!

Alyssa is such an incredible pet sitter - even when unexpected challenges arise, she problem solves and fixes the issue, centering your pet's dignity, safety, and happiness above all else. We are so grateful she cared for our kitty during a trip where we couldn't be reached, always going beyond the requirement to ensure our old man was comfortable and felt loved. We recommend her wholeheartedly.

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 $26.00. 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!
