Learn More About Yolanda

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

I have cat sat for friends and family most of my life. But professionally, I was also a volunteer at a cat adoption facility for over a year, and then have also have been sitting with Meowtel since 2020.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting, is getting to see and interact with different cats and their personalities. Just like people they are all special and have their own way of experiencing the world. Some kitties are funny, some kitties are snugglers, some kitties just want to play , and some kitties want to be part of whatever you’re doing. They are all unique and amazing in their own way.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite reservation was my repeat client who had a 20-year-old Kitty who was blind and almost deaf. The pet parent regularly worked out of town and so I did a lot of overnights for her. I am a vegan, and I had these vegan bacon jerky treats that I would eat, and the kitty would smell the bacon because her sense of smell was heightened due to her vision loss and so she would try to fight me for the jerky because she thought it smelled so good. It was super cute, of course I never gave her any even though the pet parent said it would be fine. The kitty had her best life up to the end, I was sad when she finally passed away, but her little spirit was so sweet and funny that I will always cherish that time I had with her.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes, I do have my own kitties. I have my kitty at home Aurora. And I also have an office kitty named Cali. She’s our corporate, kitty, and my direct supervisor!

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

How you feel and how your kitty feels is the most important factor when you’re looking to hire a cat sitter. You must be comfortable with the person who will be in your home taking care of your precious fur baby. Always trust your gut feelings. Don’t be afraid to ask difficult questions upfront

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

I ensure the safety and security of the kitties I’m sitting by respecting the pet parents wishes and instructions, by making sure that doors to the outside are well shut, and also when I arrive taking in the kitties’ behavior, appearance, and litter box condition to make sure there isn’t anything out of the ordinary going on. Actually, litter box condition is very important when looking for clues to how your fur babies is doing as cats are notorious for hiding pain and sickness, and the litter box can alert you to an issue much quicker than behavior.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I am available during holidays. If my availability is not open, please feel free to message me as I may still be able to accommodate.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toy would be what I call the “bird” , which is the stick with feathers on it which allows the kitty to jump and chase. I find it to be the toy that has the best track record to get your kitty playing.

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

If a kitty is timid or anxious, the best rule of thumb is to allow them to choose to come to you, by, either sitting close to them on the ground or near where they are (but not too close!) so that they can see you, and take you in on their terms. It also doesn’t hurt to have a churu available! Cats don’t like change, so it may take a few visits, but usually they warm up after they gain some trust and see that you respect their boundaries.

I'm sorry it took me so long to find Meowtel and especially Yolanda! I have already recommended her to three friends. She genuinely cares about your kitty and does so much to reassure you that your pet family member is well cared for and happy. It's the difference of going on vacation or not!

Yolanda is our go-to! She always does a phenomenal job caring for our 2 cats! They get lots of love, she always sends us updates, and it is a relief knowing that they are in good hands when we are gone.

Yolanda was amazing! She knew I was nervous to leave my cat alone for the first time but she put my heart at ease. She sent detailed check ins with pics and videos and played with him to his heart’s content. He definitely fell in love with her!

This is a system-generated review due to a cancellation. This sitter canceled a confirmed booking more than 10 days before the start of the reservation.

Yolanda was simply stellar. Kind, caring, honest, timely, caring, thoughtful, caring, and totally put me at ease while i was away. Highly recommend, 10/10.

Yolanda was AMAZING. I have a blind cat with pancreatitis that requires close monitoring and medicine and I was so worried about leaving her. Not anymore! She was so good with my cat. She found ways to get her to take her medicine (sometimes she's not so cooperative), and she watched for abnormal behavior. My cat LOVES her (honestly, I think she likes her more than me!). She approached her right away when they first met and when I returned from my trip, my cat looked better than ever. She is magical with cats. Yolanda was also very respectful of my house and was even great with my neighbors! She is my go-to for my kitty.

Yolanda was awesome! My shy kitty instantly bond with her which was such a relief for me for this 1st time I was leaving him. She sent me photos and updates and it really looks like they had fun together! She was also very flexible, as I had an unexpected event during my time out. So recommended!!

Yolanda was an awesome catsitter! She really bonded with our cats and they really loved her. I'm so glad they had someone so caring and thoughtful to look after them while we were gone! She also sent us plenty of updates and pictures of our kittens while we were away!

Yolanda did a great job taking care of my cat. I got regular updates on how the cat was behaving in my absence during her visits. I'd be happy to have her cat-sit for me again

Yolanda was wonderful - she sent us updates every time she visited our fur balls, and went above and beyond to make them both feel loved (one of them was grumpy about our new addition and she made sure to give him extra alone time). We were able to relax on a week trip knowing that they were cared for!

Yolanda was fantastic! She kept me informed and was great with my cats, one of whom is kind of wary around strangers. Nice job!

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.
