Sharing a good review for Reiko who helped us take care of our 2 kitties this past week. This was our second experience using her services and we were reassured that everything was being taken care of with her detailed messages and photos. She was always quick to respond with our requests and even offered additional help when a notice was posted for our building fire sprinkler testing. It is always stressful leaving your fur babies and so important to find someone you can trust and rely on when needed. Thank you Reiko!

Our cats welcomed Reiko back; she’s cared for them several time previously. as before she was very friendly to our kitties and efficient in handling the duties. She made extra effort to engage and play with them as evidenced by the many daily photos and videos.

It was a pleasure meeting Reiko this weekend and using her services for the first time. She was great at sending pictures and updates during her visit for peace of mind that our kitties were being taken care of and that our instructions were being followed. We have a another trip coming up and feel confident that our kitties will be in good hands while we are away. ❤️

Rieko is fantastic! My cat is really happy to see her every time. Rieko provides very detailed updates, remembers all the notes and requests, and shares lots of pictures. I'm always confident my cat is in good hands when I'm traveling.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $43.00. 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.
