Learn More About Renee
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I always keep a close eye on your cat(s) while in my care. If I notice anything unusual in behavior or appearance, I will send a picture and notify you immediately! Since owning my own cats/ kittens and taking animal health courses through vet tech school, I have learned how to spot problematic or concerning behavior. This helps me keep your cats as safe and comfortable as possible! I would be the best cat sitter for you if your cat needs special medical attention ☺️
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Some cats are more anxious or shy than others and that’s totally okay! With my Fear Free Certification, I have learned how to quickly sense signs of stress and proceed accordingly. From the first meet and greet, I can quickly observe how to best handle your cats in this situation. I move quietly and slowly and let your cats come to me when they are ready.

Renee was amazing at sending updates with photos for my cat while I was away overseas. I was a bit nervous to be using Meowtel for the first time, but Renee did a great job at following my specific requests. Recommend booking with her!!

Renee watched our kitties for the second time and was, once again, amazing. All three of them remembered her from last time, and our shyest kitty came out for her on her first visit. All three cats are in great shape and we're obviously happy and well taken care of- we will absolutely keep using Renee whenever we need someone to watch them.

Renee should be your go-to cat sitter when you need one. She was super attentive to our kitties. Both Daisy 🖤 and Luna 🩶 warmed up to her quickly. Loved her daily photos. 📸😺 While a little anxious to leave our kitties, Renee provided exceptional care to not only our little loves but was gracious enough to feed the strays we feed in our neighborhood. We will definitely be using her again.

Renee took better care of my four cats than I could have hoped for!! I was incredibly nervous to leave them, because I haven’t gone anywhere without them in six years - I usually road trip and take them with me, but this time was a cross country trip - and she made me feel so comfortable about her ability to care for them and give them love. She came in and they didn’t hide like I thought they would because that’s what they normally do, and it was so nice to see them playing with her. I will absolutely be reaching out to Renee if I have to leave them again!

Shera, thank you for such a kind review! Your kitties were an absolute joy to care for and I would love to look after them again whenever you need ☺️

Renee is absolutely amazing! We have three cats, with one being so timid and shy that she will often hide rather than eat. Renee charmed all of our cats and made them so comfortable that even the shy one was eagerly coming out to greet her. I really appreciated her updates as well- getting pictures of the cats in particular was great. All three of the cats were super relaxed and happy when we got back. I cannot recommend Renee enough, and will absolutely be using her again whenever we need someone to watch them.

We are very happy and our cat is very happy. he's a shy boy but over the course of 4 days he really bonded with Renee. I would highly recommend her!

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.
Orlando 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 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!

I was recently adopted by a senior kitty with a lot of needs and have been so stressed about missing medication doses. I'm so glad that I found Renee, she's helped alleviate that stress so much! Renee is very attentive and a pro at administering meds. She's super quick with responses, takes great pics of my kitty, and has a very accommodating schedule (I've reached out when last min things came up and she was nice enough to help). I feel like I have the freedom to live life again thanks to Renee having my (and my kitty's) back. Thanks Renee! 😊
Response from Renee
Thank you, Heather! I’m so happy to hear that you feel the freedom to live life again. Thanks for trusting me to help alleviate the stress of travel for you and your kitties.
