Debby took good care of my senior cat who has a few medical issues. She made sure my kitty got her medication 2x a day and that she got ample play time in too!

🌸 Handled an Emergency with Love and Grace Debby is an absolute gem! On her last day visiting my cat, Baboo, she handled a carbon monoxide alarm going off with such calm and care. Baboo was scared and hiding, but Debby kept me updated every step of the way and even offered to take him home to keep him safe. Thankfully, it was a false alarm — but knowing she was there, steady and compassionate, meant the world. She’s loving, trustworthy, and truly goes above and beyond. Baboo and I are so grateful for her! 💕

Our second time having Debby look after our kitties, and for a longer stretch (8 days). She is so awesome with our cats! We booked her for a mix of 20min and 45min visits twice a day and she was on point each time despite the varied schedule. Updates with pics and videos were sent each time which was very reassuring for us being nervous cat guardians. It was so nice that our cats remembered her from the last cat sitting several months ago. She clearly left a positive impression on them!

This was our first time hiring a cat sitter so we were quite nervous, but Debby was very understanding and accommodating with us. She kept in great communication from start to finish, sending photos and videos of our kitties with each visit. This was reassuring and allowed us to enjoy our trip. But more than anything, she was GREAT with our cats and gave them plenty of playtime in addition to feeding and litter box cleaning. We are very grateful to have found her on Meowtel, and hope she's available for our next trip! Highly recommend!!

Debby was amazing. Not only did she take care of Gwen's basic needs but also went an extra step beyond to play with her and give extra attention. She also made sure to give photo and video updates of Gwen having the time of her life.

This is the 1st time we have used Debby while we were away on a family vacation. Debby was by far the best cat sitter we have ever had! We have four cats, each with its own ‘persnickety’ diet and food favorites… and the youngest cat is very shy. Debby took the time to get close to all four cats and prepare exactly what they each love eating. Debby spent time every day playing with all four cats, taking pics and videos, and texting them to us. The cats loved seeing Debby every day and Debby gave them the same love she would give to her own cats. We look forward to Debby take care of our babies every time we go away in the future. FIVE out of five stars!!!

This is the 2nd time we used Debby as she has been fabulous both times! We have two black cats that are siblings, Nova and Jinx. Nova is very shy while Jinx is more outgoing and it shows when Debby comes over from the pictures she sends us. She is always there at the times we ask her to be, takes care of the food, litter boxes and gives the cats some playtime if they are being outgoing. We would definitely recommend Debby to any of our cat loving friends!

Debby was fantastic. She took great care of our two cats and really paid attention to the quirks of each. We could tell in the photo updates that they enjoyed her company. She went above and beyond with a few house requests we had. She’s responsive, responsible and trustworthy. We will definitely be calling on her again for our next trip. Thanks Debby!

Debby helped us over the last 2 weeks with companionship and medication administration for our shy old man. She was the perfect fit for him! Quiet, but persistent and followed all directions with great updates on every visit! We just moved to the area and had to find a new cat sitter after the same one for 3+ years, which was scary! But I’m so happy we found Debby!!! We will definitely use her again in the future 💙

We love Debby! She took the best care of our boy Benji while we were away with lots of love and consistency. Sitters in the past have not arrived at the times they said they would, which is important to us as we also leave some food out for Benji on a timed feeder. But Debby was reliable, communicative, and awesome. She also sent us the most photogenic photos of him everyday!

Debby took care of our four cats while we were on a four day trip out of state. She sent us pictures, videos, and updates during her visits - my cats warmed up to her faster than expected which was a relief. She was very thorough and professional, I would definitely recommend Debby for your pets!

This was the first time we left our kitties alone, and Debby did a fantastic job of winning them over the first time she stopped by! We were so nervous to leave them, but Debby kept us updated and sent lots of pictures to make sure we knew they were happy and healthy while we were away.

Debbie is wonderful and put up with my inane requests for pictures everyday for Dora!

I'm super happy and will be reaching out again when I have trips like this - thank you Debbie.

Debby was a great sitter for a long trip I just went on. she came over every other day to care for my Coco. I got pics and updates each visit, and she kept everything tidy in my house and even took my trash cans out for trash day. I’d definitely use Debby again and recommend her for your fur baby sitting needs.

debby is a fabulous cat sitter and my two children (cosmo kramer and norm peterson) love her! in fact, i just returned from ten days away from my babies, and they’ve already asked when debby will be back. turncoats! debby is consistent, reliable, loves the two beings that matter most to me in the world and honestly she takes the BEST cat pics—and sends them daily. i will be using debby again and would recommend her to any fellow feline folks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hawthorne cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $35.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
