I'm Annette
Cat Sitting in Glendale, AZ
My love for cats led me to volunteering at a local animal hospital for a few months before becoming a vet tech, and then eventually landing a job at the Phoenix Zoo. After that, an internship and resulting volunteer position at Big Cat Rescue was an amazing opportunity that allowed me to work closely with some of the most magnificent animals on the planet.
Right now I am the proud human for 3 rescues: Ginger, an Egyptian... Cats have always been a big part of my life. From my very first kitten at age 8, to the 3 rescues that call me mom today, felines have always held a special place in my heart. Every cat is unique and special in their own way, and that's what makes them so fascinating to me.
My love for cats led me to volunteering at a local animal hospital for a few months before becoming a vet tech, and then eventually landing a job at the Phoenix Zoo. After that, an internship and resulting volunteer position at Big Cat Rescue was an amazing opportunity that allowed me to work closely with some of the most magnificent animals on the planet.
Right now I am the proud human for 3 rescues: Ginger, an Egyptian Mau; Girlfriend, a 1st generation domesticated feral; and Mageer, a Maine Coon mix.
Along with being a cat-sitter, I also play the Irish drum with a local band, and at weekly music sessions. Funny enough, my cats love to sit near me when I play at home!
With over 100 sits & 43 happy clients - it would be my pleasure to take care of your beloved felines while you’re away. I always wash the cat dishes, refresh the water, clean the litter box & sweep up, and remove any stinky cans or litter. I will also walk through the house to check for any accidents. My experience with being a vet tech and work at the sanctuary has given me keen observation skills to notice behavior or appearance that may indicate distress or medical issues.
Of course I will be petting and playing with the cat(s) if they so choose - and sending video if possible, pictures, and a text summation.
My service also includes checking the mail if you need.
The areas of Phoenix, Paradise Valley, and Scottsdale work best for me.
Learn More About Annette
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I do! There is Princess, who I adopted in early August 2024 after she spent 4+ months in a shelter. Her human had passed away, and Princess was so overwhelmed - she spent all her time at the shelter up above the cages. I did not care that she was hiding - I had to take her home and give her love and understanding. She has turned out to be a very affectionate and smart kitty! I also have 3 black 4-mo old kittens that were only 4 wks old when they came to live with me in late August 2024. Rowdy, Zorro, Venus. They are so purry!!! And when they get to playing, it sounds like a herd of large horses in the house! I LOVE that sound.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Look for someone who has experience. It may seem a good idea to let the neighbor kid sit your cats, but a seasoned professional will know what to do in an emergency, and they will let you know if anything is amiss with your cat. Follow your gut feeling - even if the sitter has all the experience and awards, if it doesn't feel like a fit, find someone else. Give yourself peace of mind while you're away.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes. I have worked with animals all my life, and holidays actually feel weird if I am not working.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
It is their house! I am a stranger. If they do not want to interact, I don't push it. Of course I will look for them to make sure they are OK, and I will try to coax them out (my shoes have magic in them - they are cat magnets!!), but I let the cats lead the interactions.

This service is amazing. I was so happy to discover it. We are very happy that it brought us Annette. She was very attentive to our fur-baby's needs while we were away. So much so, that she wasn’t mad that we left her. She was very happy to see us when we arrived home. Annette was great with communicating with us and sent us videos of her visits every day. She even went above and beyond by bringing in our mail, which we didn't ask her to do, but we are so grateful that she did. We will definitely schedule with Annette for any future needs.

Annette is the best cat sitter we have ever had! We chose Meowtl for the first time with expectations of having a good, reliable and trustworthy person take care of our precious kitty, Herbie. Annette exceeded our expectations in every way! She went above and beyond to give loving attention to Herbie and meet his special needs. It was a great bonus for us to have a former vet technician who could administer his oral supplements. Besides being extremely efficient and supportive, she is a very kind person who regularly communicated with us during our vacation by sending text messages, photos and videos. She made it possible for us to enjoy our vacation with a peaceful feeling, knowing Herbie was in such great hands. She even fed an outdoor feral cat we take care of, brought in our mail and took our trash bins out the night before and brought them back in the morning. Annette did all this with a very positive and gracious attitude. We can’t say enough good things about her! We highly recommend Annette and will definitely request her again for future vacations!

Poor Annette hardly ever saw my kitties. But she was prompt at the times we discussed. She respected the girls space by not hunting them down in their hiding spots and making them feel threatened. We forgot to turn the TV on and she did it for us. Thank you btw! The house was clean and we were totally satisfied. Missed our crazy nuggets though and they were so happy to see us when we got back.

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:
- More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
- 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.
- Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.
All refunds are initially applied to the Cat Parent's Meowtel Account Balance for use toward a future reservation or tip. Funds may be returned to the original payment method at any time.
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.
Glendale 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 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!

This was our first time using Meowtel & we couldn’t have been happier with Annette. She was able to wrangle our older cat to make sure he got his daily meds, she sent pics of our shy cat who usually hides & she sent daily updates. She was so diligent about caring for our kitties even while she was dealing with the sickness and loss of her own precious cat. We will use her again and cannot recommend her enough.

I worry less about my cats when Annette sits. she is on top of it. This time my old oral syringe broke, but she just brought one from home, and everything was fine. she really knows how to care for cats!

Annette is responsible and knowledgeable. I felt like she takes her job seriously. I was very nervous to leave my kitties on their own, especially because two of the three are old and in ill health. but she gave many updated videos, and I felt she actually read my directions, and was patient and kind to them. it made me feel comfortable to leave then. she even grabbed my mail and packages. she is a fantastic cat sitter.
Response from Annette
Thank you so much! Odin, Frankie, and Freya were a joy to care for.
Christie

So glad we found Meowtel. This was the first time we were not able to rely on friends or family to watch our fur baby. The website allowed us to research and select the sitter of our choice. We scheduled a meet and greet prior to our trip and by the end of the visit we were confident we had selected the best person for the job. Annette gave us proof of life photos and videos every day putting us at ease. She was even able to brush and pet our shy kitty. No easy task. Highly recommend Meowtel and Annette.

Annette was wonderful this month, as usual. She’s our go-to for our Buddy. Buddy enjoys her visits; he purrs so loudly when they are together! Annette is very reliable, and executes requests and instructions with precision. Also, she communicates pertinent information as necessary; she never keeps us guessing.

My usually-shy kitty loved Annette when they met! Annette went out of her way to deal with my apartment building's difficult key situation, and sent very sweet daily updates. My cat has never been parted from me for so long and she seemed perfectly happy and normal when I got back. Thank you Annette from Amanda and Figgy

Annette clearly has a deep love for the cats she cares for. She set lots of pictures and videos each day and each time she visited. She also had helpful tips to make our boys feel less lonely while we were gone. We had a small issue at the house and Annette was quick to return and check things out for me which was beyond appreciated and really put me at ease. You will not find a more caring, compassionate and genuine person to watch over your cats!

Annette made my first experience with a pet sitter a pleasant one! I could tell from the meet and greet that she would take good care of my kitties. She sent daily videos and kept me updated. She went above and beyond in their care. When she dropped off the key when I returned the kitties ran to see her!
Debra

Annette was wonderful! Piper and Shackleton were calm and relaxed when we returned.
