I'm Reese | Cat Sitting in Scottsdale, AZ

** please note that the dates of Nov 26-30 are almost full. Reach out with location and/or if visits need to be a certain time of day. Thanks 😊 I have had pets since the day I was born and have relied on others to watch my animals extensively while I've been gone. I have been in your shoes worrying about the care of my babies when I'm gone. Babysitting to me entails more than food, water, walks, litter scooping; most important is attention. I have had cats primarily for the past 30 years and I consider myself a Cat Whisperer. I've had (and currently have) cats with chronic illnesses that require a variety of meds, so pills don't scare me. :) I work from home a lot during the day. I'm a professor and only teach on campus for about four to five hours on campus during the week. so unless I'm out of town; I'm pretty wide open. And I have summers off... Apparently I need to get a life. :) I have a cat that walks on a leash so I am used to the goofy oddball ...

Learn More About Reese

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love having kitty interactions obviously, but I also really like making cat parents feel comfortable leaving them with me. I've been watching a few clients for over a year and I know and love these cats a ton. I love the fact that some of my clients have no hesitation at all leaving me in their homes for weeks on end and that they have no stress or worries because they fully entrust their cats with me. :)

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I always have meet and greets. Always. I take notes when I get instructions and I am very hands on as far as communication. I send photos and videos of my interactions. I've actually jokingly been told I don't have to send 'that many' of them. I try to put myself in new clients' shoes and imagine what would make me feel better with a stranger both taking care of my cat(s) but also coming into my home.

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

I give skittish kitties their space & let them set their boundaries. I listen to suggestions/advice from the parent(s), but I really 'listen' to the cats. While not always successful, I am very patient with those choosey boys and girls. (see my reviews, yay!) I watch their body language and sit at a distance that seems comfortable for them & talk to them gently. I let them get used to my voice & (hopefully) slowly feel comfortable with me. If treats are a part of their diet, of course I try to bribe with them. :) They key is to not rush the process and to watch and listen to their cues.

There are never any concerns when Reese is caring for my cats! She goes above and beyond taking time to hand feed my cat spinach!

Frequently Asked Questions

Scottsdale cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $29.00. 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.
