I'm Chelsea | Cat Sitting in Tempe, AZ

Have you ever seen the video on YouTube for "Why Cat's Are Better Than Dogs" by comedian Zoltan Kaszas? That's why cats are so special for me. 😊 🐈 I've been around and loved cats my whole life! I've volunteered with a few shelters, most recently with Kitt's Kitten Rescue, and adopted both my sweet boys from the same rescue. I have experience administering oral meds (liquid and pills), insulin injections, subcutaneous fluids, eye drops, and inhalers for asthmatic kitties. 💻 I have worked in tech for years in technical support, so I love troubleshooting things and problem solving. I've also been a Quality Assurance software tester, so my attention to detail is through the roof! I will be very mindful and observant of any slight changes in behavior with your fur babies while they're in my care, and notify you right away to ensure nothing is wrong. 📷 ...

Learn More About Chelsea

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

Besides casually being the go-to cat sitter amongst friends and family for years, I have been cat sitting with Meowtel now since January 2021, and I absolutely adore it! There's nothing more special to me than being welcomed into a new family's home to meet and bond with their fur baby/babies. It's so fulfilling to have new clients become regular clients, to form my own special relationships over time with their cat(s). I would be honored to be your cat(s) new Auntie Chelsea! 😻

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two beautiful boys, Sirius and Remus. They're featured in my gallery of photos! The picture with two cats sitting side by side next to a scratching post, the brown tabby and mini black panther, those are my boys. 🥰 I adopted Remus in October 2019 when he was 2 months old, and Sirius in June 2020 when he was also 2 months old. They are my whole world, and I love them both so much!

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

I'm always cautious when simply opening the door to enter the home, as I've had previous clients with kitties who will try to bolt out the door. Once I'm in, I immediately lock the door behind me, and do a quick scan of the living space (that we went over during the Meet & Greet) to ensure nothing looks awry. I then seek out the kitty, to ensure all is well and they're happy and healthy (even if they're a timid kitty and hiding). Once all tasks have been completed, and the duration of the visit is over, I do one more scan of the living space before leaving and locking up.

Chelsea is absolutely amazing - she spends lots of quality time with the fur babies and we felt comfortable leaving home and being away from them for the first time.

I can’t recommend Chelsea high enough! She did an absolute wonderful job taking care of my three cats, one of which requires medication. I will certainly hire her the next time we go out of town!

Ashley

Chelsea is wonderful! She did a meet & greet before our first reservation and it was helpful for my shy cat! She sent lots of pictures & videos and it’s obvious she puts a lot of love into her sitting visits. She was even kind enough to vacuum around the litter box!

Frequently Asked Questions

Tempe cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $26.00. 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.
