I'm Carolyn
Cat Sitting in Mesa, AZ
Communication is t... Hello! My name is Carolyn and I have cared for cats my entire life. I currently live with two senior ladies named Moose and Sander and they are everything to me. I am a patient and careful sitter and will take my time with your skiddish feline friends.
Communication is the most important part of a Sitter/Parent relationship and I will make sure to send daily photos and updates while you are away.
In my free time I enjoy writing, crafting, and performing improv comedy. I have never met a cat I didn’t like and I can’t wait to meet yours!
Learn More About Carolyn
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Yes! I have two cats named Moose and Sander. They are both senior kitties. I would best describe them as “frenemies”. Cuddling on the window sill one moment and getting into a slow motion fight the next. Sander is a chatterbox and Moose is a snuggle bug. I love them more than anything in the world.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
The best advice I would give to a customer looking to hire a sitter is to pay close attention to their communication style. The last thing you want when you are away from your beloved pets is a sitter who communicates poorly or who does not communicate at all. If you have a bad feeling about them before hiring them, trust your gut!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
In my experience, the best way to handle an anxious or timid cat is to let them approach you. If they are timid, but approaching me, I will hold out my hand for a sniff. If they are receptive I will try to give them a scratch but if not, I will leave them be. If they are not approaching me at all, I let them be! I want to make sure the cat always feels that they are in control. If the owner allows it, I will sometimes offer them a treat to let them know I am their friend.

Carolyn took care of Boomer. He was less anxious when I got home than he has been with other care takers. I also was less anxious because I received notes about each visit.

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.
Mesa 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!

Carolyn has watched my cat on multiple occasions. She is very communicative and sends lots of pictures and updates when I am away. She always leaves the space clean and tidy and my cat is always happy to see her - which is the biggest compliment I can give because that cat hates almost everyone but me.
