Annette's Purrfect Catsitting

I'm Annette

Cat Sitting in Glendale, AZ

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.

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.

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 $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 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!
