I'm Stephanie
Cat Sitting in Phoenix, AZ
I have 2 cats, Billy & Spencie. They are tabbys and they are littermates. Billy is big & clumsy, not nimble at all... I have been a cat lover all my life and previously traveled for business pretty regularly. I always had trouble finding someone willing to do more than fill my cat's bowls and scoop the litter box, like pet and play with my cats. My cats are people cats and they like the interaction. Because of this, I wanted to become a cat sitter specifically. I love playing with these sweet little furballs and giving them pets and lots of attention if they want it.
I have 2 cats, Billy & Spencie. They are tabbys and they are littermates. Billy is big & clumsy, not nimble at all. Spencie is a sweet, dainty girl that's shy.
I am a native Phoenician and I own a small, pollinator- & pet-friendly pest control company. I currently reside in Arcadia where I have been for 14 years and I have no plans to leave.
I volunteer at AAWL as well and have been doing that since 2019. I have fostered kittens as young as 2 weeks and elderly cats as old as 22! I also volunteer with the visually impaired community.
My hobbies include creating chocolate strawberry bouquets with fresh flowers, painting, attending sporting events, live music, museums, and the arts.
I look forward to taking great care of your kitties and having lots of fun playing with them, too.

Stephanie was the best! She was flexible with the meet&greet time which helped me a lot before my trip. Most importantly she was great with my two cats. She played with them lots, kept their food and water bowls full, and even fixed my bathroom sink (LOL). I highly recommend Stephanie if you are looking for a cat sitter in the Phoenix area she is very kind, trustworthy, and a great communicator.

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.
Phoenix 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!
