Cat Sitting in Gilbert, AZ

Hi, my name is Donna and I've been a cat mom for over 40 years. I love discovering their different quirks & personalities. I have experience with kittens, teenage, and senior cats.

I enjoy talking to other cat parents about their cats. I especially like learning the sometimes unique routines that have been established.

I am mature and responsible. I've been providing care to families (as a trusted babysitter) for the past several years after retiring from AT&T where I worked for nearly 40 years.

I live in the Gilbert area, but have a car and can travel as needed.

Thank you for considering me. You can feel comfortable that while you’re away, your precious kitties will be well cared for.

Learn More About Donna

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

My daughters both have cats and I have been their primary cat sitter for about 20 years whenever they went out of town.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

My favorite part of cat sitting is calling out to the kitty when I come in. I feel that it sets the tone for a fun and friendly visit.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I currently have two kitties: Franklyn, who is 15 years old and Grayson who is 7 years old. I've had them both since they were kittens.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

If I sense the cat is timid or anxious, I speak to them in a very low, soft voice. I talk to them throughout the visit, making sure to use their name often so they know I am there for them. I extend my hand to let them become familiar with me before attempting to pet them. I take my cues from the cat itself to determine how and if the cat even wants to engage with me.

Donna is a great human and an absolutely fantastic cat sitter. We took a 2 week vacation and have never left our kitty this long. She now requires medication every night & is a little shy, so it was certainly nerve wracking. Donna was great about working out visits before we left so I could get my cat more used to her. During our trip, Donna sent photo updates every visit, administered meds & sent confirmation, & even got our sassy lady to warm up to her a bit. Our house is just as we left it, our kitty was well cared for & happy to have us back home -- couldn't be happier with our experience & will certainly be requesting Donna's services the next time we're away!

Donna is the perfect person to take care of your cats. Donna loves cats and she will love on your cats as if they are her own. I could see the cats running to the door to greet Donna, as they hear her unlock the door. Returning from our vacation, I can tell that my cats miss their visits from Donna. You will not regret picking Donna for your own cats!

More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.

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.

Gilbert 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!
