Learn More About Vanessa

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love interacting with pets who have personality! Each fur baby is going to shine individually in their own way, so I like to highlight each of their special traits, whether that be playing with their fav toy or giving them a treat!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 2 personal cats that are my babies- Yoongi (3) and Silk (2). They are such the sweetest girls I can ask for and I LOVE spoiling them rotten🥹❤️

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

I double-check that the cat’s food, water, and litter are accessible and clean. During playtime, I keep an eye on toys to avoid choking hazards. I also follow any housespecific instructions closely, including keeping toxic items out of reach. Regular updates to the owner give them peace of mind, and I make sure everything is locked up before I leave. Safe cats, happy homes!

I can’t say enough about Vanessa! Not only did she ensure our sweet fur baby was taken care of, she also totally saved the entire care operation for our kitty, which involved multiple caregivers needing to enter our empty house, by personally replacing the batteries in our electronic door lock, which happened to come close to dying the day after my partner and I left. And if that wasn’t enough, she left a sweet note and a gift bag with Churu and greenies for my cat to munch on. Vanessa will not let you down.

Meowtel has been fantastic, especially since we're new to the Phoenix area and don't have friends or family nearby to watch our two "kids" (ahem, cats!). We've worked with Vanessa twice now and highly recommend her. She sent photos and videos twice daily, along with a detailed pet-sitting report card each evening that included updates on eating habits, litter box activity, and overall well-being. We always felt well informed and really appreciated the thoughtful communication. One of our favorite parts of the trip was waking up and winding down each day with adorable updates and pictures of our little kittos. It gave us real peace of mind and warmed our hearts while we were away. We've already told Vanessa we're hoping to plan another getaway in September and would love to have her cat-sit for us again!

Vanessa did an excellent job caring for our two cats over the weekend. She was highly communicative and sent updates throughout the day, which was especially reassuring since it was our first time working with her. We really appreciated the daily pet-sitting cards with notes, photos, and videos. Our home was in great shape when we returned, and it was clear our kittos were well cared for and had plenty of playtime. They seemed genuinely happy with her care. We’ve already booked Vanessa again for June and would absolutely recommend her!

Could not have asked for a better sitter! Vanessa took great care of our cats and kept us informed with videos and pics. Was easy to relax knowing our kitties were in good care. Highly recommend Vanessa and will be booking with her again!

Vanessa was amazing! She stepped in last-minute for us and watched our Cat. She shared videos with us of her visit and even left a very sweet gift for our fur baby Pancakes! We definitely plan to utilize her services in the future.

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.

Tolleson cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $27.00. 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!
