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

I am very vigilant when it comes to other peoples homes and kitties. I always always make sure to follow the home owner’s instructions and the cat’s regular routine. I like to spend a minimum of 30 minutes with the cats to make sure they are well taken care of and watch carefully for signs of sickness or anything unusual. Before leaving I double check that no windows or doors are left open, and that any cleaning supplies or something potentially hazardous to kitties is put away properly. I also will never share personal information or door codes with anyone else, and I follow the homeowner’s instructions very closely. You’re trusting me a lot, and I want to ensure the most stress free experience for you.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toy has to be the colorful plastic springs. So many cats I know love those and will bat them around endlessly. I love how cats are so entertained by them, and they can be a fun toy for them even when they’re alone.

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

For anxious and timid kitties, I make sure to create a non-threatening and safe environment. I think it’s most important to let them approach me when they’re ready. I will watch vigilantly for signs of discomfort or agitation like hissing, airplane ears, cowering or hiding, and never force an interaction with them. I move slowly and calmly so as to not startle them, and always exercise extreme patience with them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Albany cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $37.00. 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.
