I’m Samantha, and I’d love to care for your cat(s) while you’re away.**
I have several years of pet-sitting experience and have cared for both single-cat and multi-cat households. I’ve looked after cats with different personalities and needs, including providing separate feeding routines, cleaning multiple litter boxes, and making sure each cat gets the attention and space they’re comfortable with.
I’ve previously cared for a ragdoll cat and have experience with calm drop-in visits that include feeding, litter maintenance, playtime, and companionship. I understand that cats do best in their own environment, so I focus on keeping their routine consistent and their stress levels low.
My background in babysitting and pet sitting has helped me become reliable, patient, and detail-oriented. I take pride in earning the trust of both cats and their humans and always treat each home with respect.
I’m excited to grow as a dedicated cat sitter through Meowtel and would love the opportunity to provide attentive, loving care for your cat family.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I enjoy the bond with the cat that develops over time! Each cat is so unique and some have so much personality. I feel like a lot of cats are very smart and just have a good sense of humor.
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
My favorite cat sitting experience was when my neighbors cat “moonshine” the pretty ragdoll starting to sleep on top of me. She is very soft and falls asleep fast with a head rub.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
One very helpful tip is to make extra copies for your keys that’s you personally won’t need to get back into your home. Investing in a good discrete lock box is a great idea!

Sam was amazing to my two boys and followed instructions exactly, even asking clarifying questions to make sure everything was perfect. My two cats are very shy and she was extremely patient, and gentle when interacting with them. Sam kept us updated and sent pictures with every visit and worked around our needs as best as she could.

Sam was such an amazing and compassionate caretaker for Benji! From our first meet and greet, she was professional and extremely personable- she left such a good impression I didn’t even think twice about booking her! I could tell Sam really loves cats and her attention to detail was much appreciated! She sent me photos and FaceTimed me during the trip and communicated very well during my trip! I felt really good knowing Benji was in good hands! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone! it was my first time using an app like this and Sam made the experience so so positive ! :)

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.
Hawthorne cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $38.00. 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!
