Shawn's Sunny Cat Sitting In Scottsdale

I'm Shawn

Cat Sitting in Scottsdale, AZ

Meowllo! Shawn is known around town as the “gentle cat whisperer extraordinaire” who can get cats to sit on his lap all on their own. He’s got reviews and pictures to prove it!

My Availability and Experience:

I’ve been a cat owner for 6 years, and been actively cat sitting for 3 years.

I am only available for morning and evening visits during the week. I am free any time on the weekend.

I have experience administering liquid and pill oral medications as well as liquid ear medicine when my cats had minor colds and dirty ears.

I also have experience using an inhaler for asthmatic cats and giving various medicines and medications for cats with special diets and needs.

I live in North Scottsdale and have my own car. I can watch your kitties located in Scottsdale and the surrounding areas on the map.

I take detailed notes during your free Meet and Greet, so I don’t miss any important tasks.

I send daily texts, updates, pictures, and videos of your kitties, so you can have peace of mind that they are in good hands.

**My rates are flexible...

My rates cover travel time to and from your homes (especially during rush hour), gas, wear and tear on my car, top notch, specialized care for your kitties including any accidents (throw up, poop, pee) your kitties may have, and daily updates and pictures, so you can travel with peace of mind. Meowtel also takes a significant commission out of each visit unfortunately. Thank you for understanding.

Thank you for reading, and I look forward to giving your kitties lots of purrfect pets, playtime, and delicious treats!

My Story:

I’ve always liked cats but never thought I’d love them until I owned some myself. In 2020, when the whole world was shut down, I decided to adopt two domestic short-hair brothers from a local animal shelter here in Phoenix, Arizona. One is 9 years old, named Hopi, and the other is 7 years old, named Nino, who is currently purring in my lap as I’m writing my bio.

One year into being a new cat daddy, I ended up saving Nino’s life without even knowing it. I noticed he suddenly started showing very low energy, wouldn’t pee in his litter box, and would start peeing a little bit everywhere else like in the living room or on the bedroom carpet. After a couple of days, things did not get better, so I knew this was a serious issue because he couldn’t fully go to the bathroom. Trusting my gut, I immediately took him to the emergency pet hospital and the doctor found tons of crystals in his urine that was blocking his bladder, preventing him from peeing. I knew I had to save his life, so I approved the procedure for them to remove the crystals and clear his urethra so that he can pee again. The doctor told me if I had not brought him in when I did, I would’ve lost my kitty soon after. I had to switch all of my cat’s food to a special prescription diet to prevent crystals from forming in their bladders. They are both currently happy, healthy, and hyper kitties that have saved my life in more ways than one.

Shawn's visits were perfect. My cat, sensing the kind of person he was, came right up to Shawn on each visit (not a common response to a stranger in the house).

My cat has a bad attitude which makes him difficult to care for, but Shawn handled him like a pro. Shawn seems to really understand cats and their needs which put my mind at ease while I was away. Shawn is trustworthy, responsible, and reliable. I would love to have Shawn watch my cat again!

Shawn did an absolutely incredible job. He is attentive, responsive, caring, and communicative. Tofu liked him so much that she sat in his lap, which she doesn't do with anyone.

I got hospitalized all of a sudden and had to find a cat sitter fast. I messaged Shawn in the evening around 8pm asking of he'd be willing to pickup my keys from the hospital and go feed my cat and he did about 30mins later. My cat seemed to like him as well and everything went fine. Thanks a lot.

This was our first time using Meowtel and I couldn’t be more pleased. Shawn took amazing care of our babies. He sent photos and updates every day, which gave me peace of mind that they were safe and sound while we were away. We are so grateful and would highly recommend Shawn to look after your kitties!

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.

Scottsdale 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!
