Learn More About Melanie
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
My favorite part about cat sitting is play time. Cats are so fun and every cat is different. I like to see what kind of toys each cat prefers over others. I also enjoy hanging out with cats in general.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two cats named Nami and Poki. They are both 7 years old and I adopted them from the shelter when they were little. Nami’s favorite toy is a fishing pole feather toy and Poki’s favorites are hair ties or fake mice.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Both of my cats are pretty timid around strangers. I believe the best way to deal with timid or anxious cats is to give them a lot of space and stay quiet! Loud noises can startle any cat, so they impact anxious cats even more. Meeting a stranger can be stressful for them so it is also best to try to ease their anxiety with their favorite toy or treats!

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.
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.
Fountain Valley 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!
