I'm Toni | Cat Sitting in Phoenix, AZ

Hi, I’m Toni! I’ve been caring for cats since I was 4 years old, and my love for them has only grown. Over the years, I’ve raised five amazing cats—all of whom lived beyond 15 years, with my oldest reaching 20. I recently adopted my sixth cat who is a DMH kitten named Howie. I have hands-on experience with senior cats, administering medications (oral, topical, and even inhalers), and creating calm, comforting environments for cats with unique needs. I’m the go-to cat sitter for my friends and family because th...

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

My advice would be to look for a cat sitter who not only loves cats but also understands feline behavior and body language. Every cat is different, so it’s important to find someone who is patient, attentive, and willing to adapt to your cat’s individual needs and routines. Communication is key too—make sure the sitter is responsive, provides updates, and makes you feel comfortable while you’re away. A great cat sitter should prioritize your cat’s well-being, safety, and comfort above all else.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I treat every cat and home with the same level of care and respect I would expect for my own. I make sure doors and windows are secure during each visit, follow feeding and medication instructions precisely, and keep an eye out for any changes in behavior or health. I also send regular updates so you know your cat is safe and happy. If anything seems off, I’ll contact you right away. Your pet’s well-being and your home’s security are my top priorities.

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

With timid or anxious cats, I always let them set the pace. I start by giving them space and speaking softly so they feel safe. I avoid direct eye contact, move slowly, and use calming body language. If they’re open to it, I’ll engage with toys or treats to build trust over time. I also try to stick closely to their usual routines to reduce stress. My goal is to create a calm, predictable environment so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away.

Toni is an absolute gem! She cared for my cat, Ginger, with incredible attention, compassion, and professionalism. From administering medication to keeping him entertained and relaxed, Toni went above and beyond. I returned home to a happy, healthy cat—and daily updates gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet like their own, but that’s exactly what Toni does. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

Phoenix cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
