Learn More About Tess

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

Been cat sitting my whole life. I have dedicated my life to taking care of animals and cats are my absolute favorite creatures on this planet.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Getting to feed the cats and make sure they’re happy. The best part of cat sitting is watching a shy cat come out of their shell.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two kitties !!!! One of them is named Andy, she is a very shy girl. The other one is named Leo and he’s orange so of course he’s wacky, we all know how the oranges are.

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

I will make sure to send as many photos and videos of your cats to show you they are happy and thriving. I will make sure their food water and litter box is taken care of bare minimum and I will make sure all places get stuck in are taken care of and they can’t get into anything you would pose a hazard.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes I am usually available during holidays. I will have to see about Christmas Day but I might be available.

What is your favorite cat toy?

WANDS !!!!!!! SO FUN !! Especially cat dancer the little wire with cardboard it’s fantastic and will make all cats go nuts.

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

Get down on the floor and wait for them to approach you and slowly let them sniff you. If you pass their test you are amazing if you don’t that’s okay too you can let them just hide if they are comfortable.

Tess was super attentive & very sweet with my boys. at times she was able to show up earlier than asked which was a huge help for me while i was away. the fact that she's going to school to become a vet also put my nerves at ease. the boys & myself can't thank her enough for being the best sitter anyone could ask for. she went above & beyond with cleaning up after the boys turned their little box into a 4th of july show. she sent photos daily which i very much needed since i was having separation anxiety.it was a true pleasure having her as their sitter.

Tess was great! I felt very at ease knowing she was checking up on my little guy. She kept me up to date with all his happenings and sent plenty of photos which I adored. Would 100% book with Tess again.

Tess is the kind of cat sitter every pet parent dreams of—experienced, compassionate, and deeply knowledgeable. She treats every cat with the same love and care she gives her own, and her background working in veterinary offices shows in her calm, capable approach. Whether it’s giving medication, handling nail trims, or just providing comfort and companionship, Tess goes above and beyond. I trust her completely with my cats and always feel at ease knowing they’re in such good hands.

Tess is a compassionate, reliable professional who has worked with cats in both the clinical setting and as a cat sitter for nearly 10 years. She loves cats greatly and has a deep understanding and respect for their temperament. She is the first person people call when they have a question about a cat, and she always knows what to do or where to go for more information. I do not know of anyone who could be a better cat sitter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tucson cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $24.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
