Learn More About Xiomara
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have three furry boys: Bruce, Reggie, and Ari. Each range in personalities. I've had Bruce since he was 3 weeks old. He is now 3.5 years. I got Reggie when he was 4 months old and is now 4 years. Ari is also 3.5 years old, but he came into my life when he was 2.5 years old. He was a feral cat that I took in and got him to good health. He is the most cuddly one too! I love them all. I love seeing them happy and feeling safe in their home with me.
What is your favorite cat toy?
This question is for the cat! Haha, but really my favorite cat toy is whichever the cat chooses because then I can play with their favorite toy and bond with them. Many popular ones include the stick with a string, or a spring toy. I also like to make a tunnel system and act like the prey while the cat is hiding inside. My cats love playing that.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I avoid eye contact, speak very softly, avoid walking towards them, and allow them to hide until they feel like I'm not a threat. I also keep treats with me for when they are ready to interact. I'll leave treats near me or let them take it from my palm. I don't force them to do anything because that would make me look like a threat. When they show a sign of interest, I will lower myself down and stick my finger out for them to sniff while avoiding eye contact. This helps them feel more comfortable.

Downey cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $36.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
