Cat Sitting in New Market, AL

Many of my pet sitting clients and several of my friends have shy and aloof cats, but it makes me proud to say I have been chosen by them in loaf form. I have 3 cats myself!

Many of my pet sitting clients and several of my friends have shy and aloof cats, but it makes me proud to say I have been chosen by them in loaf form. I have 3 cats myself! I have at least 6 years of experience pet sitting and caring for cats. I’m very skilled at reading cat body language or learning their language in a way that makes me part of the conversation, so to say. If you have a chatty cat, I will be talking back to them. I don’t know the concept of cringe so I will be baby talking and soft and squishy with them.
Petting cats is one of the best things in life, it’s such a lovely sensory experience and I revel in the fact that people trust me to care for their sweet babies (and that I get to pet more cats) 😻

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

I have been pet sitting for at least 6+ years! I have had upwards of 30 cat clients, at least 10 recurring cats every year.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Getting to experience the different personalities. Cats are so varied and can be products of their environment, so it is always interesting to learn how they interact and want to be interacted with.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite cat client is probably Hamilton. He is a Russian Blue. He drools when he is pet in the right spots and is so soft and cuddly.

Diem is an exceptional and trustworthy pet sitter who treats every animal as if it were her own. She is extremely attentive and aware of each pet’s routine, behaviors, likes, and dislikes. Diem is kind, courteous, and professional. She communicates promptly, keeps me updated, and sends me photos of my animals while I am away. She always leaves my home in perfect order, and I return to happy, content pets who were clearly well-loved while I was away. Anyone who has the opportunity to have Diem care for their pets will quickly understand how special she is. She is simply outstanding.

Em is wonderful with our cats. Blaze can be a hard cat to win over because he’s anti social and takes awhile to warm up to people but Em win her over quickly. She sent us pictures and we were amazed. Loki loves everyone and Em loved him right back. Our home is always well taken care of when she house sits, our cats always look well taken care of and the litter box is clean. I highly recommend Em!

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.

New Market cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $20.00. 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!
