What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I've been a dedicated cat caregiver my entire life, currently sharing my home with seven unique feline personalities. This firsthand experience has given me deep insight into cats' individual needs, behaviors, and how to make them feel comfortable and secure. For the past 10 years, I've been the go-to cat sitter for neighbors and family friends, building a reputation for reliable, attentive care. Whether it's a weekend getaway or extended vacation, pet parents consistently trust me with their beloved companions. My experience ranges from caring for playful kittens to senior cats with special needs, all while respecting their routines and home environments. Each sitting experience has enhanced my ability to connect with cats quickly and ensure they receive the perfect balance of attention and independence. When you choose me as your cat sitter, you're getting someone who truly understands and appreciates the feline mind!
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
What I enjoy most about cat sitting is building trust with these naturally independent creatures. There's something incredibly rewarding about earning a cautious cat's affection, seeing them gradually relax and seek out attention on their terms. I love discovering each cat's unique personality and preferences—whether they're playful extroverts who greet me at the door or careful observers who warm up slowly. I find genuine joy in maintaining their routines and creating a sense of security during their owner's absence. The quiet moments of connection—a contented purr during lap time, the special way they communicate their needs, or simply the peaceful company while I read or work—are what make cat sitting so fulfilling for me. Knowing I've kept a beloved pet happy and comfortable in their own environment until their family returns is the ultimate satisfaction.
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
My favorite cat sitting experience is when a cat who initially greets me with suspicious stares from behind furniture turns out to be my best friend. I like to sit quietly, speak softly and respect their boundaries. I like to bring treats but never force interaction. After the cat gets used to me and I hear rumbling purrs, I feel that special connection that only comes when you've truly earned a cat's trust. Nothing compares to that feeling
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have 7 Blue Violet Ivory Kikidoos Biggles Nala Simba
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Make sure they love cats! Do a meet and greet to ensure a smooth transition.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes I am mostly available during the holidays.

Hollie is a cat whisperer! Our 13 year old cat who always hides from strangers, came out to meet Hollie and get petted while we were away. She was purring up a storm in the video Hollie sent us. Hollie has excellent communication skills, sends pictures or videos after every visit and is extremely punctual. She was very kind too, even brought her some toys! The food and water is always filled, and litterbox always scooped. Thank you, Hollie!

Hollie is great with clear communication during visits, texting and sending photo updates. She is patient and kind, absolutely the best with our 4 felines. We have a large male, a big scaredy cat who hisses and growls at everyone other than his immediate human family members. Hollie is indeed s cat whisperer, now he goes up to Hollie and rubs against her leg, and lets Hollie scratch his head.

Hollie is truly a "cat lover" which was very apparent when we first met her at the meet & greet. She not only took great care of our cat while we were gone for a few days, but bonded with her such that the cat actually looked forward to her morning visit. She provided pictures, video's and you could see how much our cat appreciated her. If you are looking for someone who truly will love and take care of your cat, Hollie is person to contact.

Hollie was absolutely fantastic in taking care of our cat for 18 straight days. She was at our house about the same time every day, bonded with our cat by giving her love and attention and did the extra, little things when she needed some additional care. We would not use anyone else. Thanks Holly, you are truly the best !!!

Hollie was great--we were surprised that our 'Scaredy Cat' took to her right away! She sent us pictures and videos each day, and we were very happy with her. Would highly recommend, and will use her again if we need someone to watch Maxie in the future.

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.
Tempe 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 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 Meet & Greet!

Hollie is exceptional—communication was prompt and easy. She took initiative in making sure my cats (who are expert hiders and timid around strangers) were safe and comfortable. I never for a second worried about them while away, which is priceless. Would 10/10 recommend.

This was my first experience with Meowtel and it was incredible!! Hollie was professional, provided genuine love and care for Kitty, and was very communicative throughout the entire process. I had no concerns whatsoever about giving her access to my home. In fact, we’ve already booked another visit with Hollie in September. I’m just sad that she might not be available every time we’re out of town, but I’m confident there will be lots of wonderful pet sitters to choose from. Very happy customer!

Hollie has a great personality and is very friendly! She has tons of experience with all types of cats and our cat that is pretty unaffectionate really warmed up to her very fast - we were so amazed! Hollie accommodated all of our requests and we couldn’t have been happier with her help while we were away! She is a great choice to look after your cat(s) while you’re out of town!

Hollie was amazing with our kitties, showering them with love and sending us wonderful pictures of them being taken care of and loved on. The pictures were so good, that coming back from a vacation was super easy, knowing that we couldn't wait to see our kitties again after two weeks. I would recommend Hollie to everyone in the Southeast Valley area.

Hollie not only has her own cats from kitten age to elderly, she has fostered kittens and cats for rescues. She gets along with every cat she meets, has made friends with neighbors cats and can handle any temperament. She has worked with cats in different settings with different health concerns and excelled every time.

What makes Hollie an exceptional cat sitter is her absolute reliability. You can have complete peace of mind knowing your cats are in her capable hands. She goes above and beyond by sending frequent photos, videos, and daily updates on how your furry family members are doing. Her attention to detail and commitment to communication meant I never worried for a moment while away. I can't recommend Hollie enough - she's not just trustworthy, she's someone who will treat your cats with the same love and care that you would. If you're looking for a cat sitter who combines dependability with genuine affection for animals, Hollie is your person!
