Hi there! I’m a dedicated pet sitter with over 14 years of professional experience in the veterinary field. I currently work at a cat-only veterinary hospital, so I am deeply familiar with feline behavior, specialized handling, and the unique needs of our senior or sensitive kitty friends. 🐱✨

Whether your pet is a playful kitten or a dignified senior, I provide the high-level care and peace of mind you deserve while you're away. My background as a veterinary technician means I am highly skilled in:

• Medication Administration: In providing supportive care, I can safely administer oral, topical, and ophthalmic medications, as well as subcutaneous fluids or insulin injections for diabetic pets. šŸ’‰šŸ’Š

• ​Clinical Monitoring: I have a trained eye for "emergency clinical signs." I monitor appetite, hydration, and behavior to catch subtle changes in health before they become crises—especially critical for elderly pets. šŸ”šŸ©ŗ

• ​Expert Feline Care: From specialized "kitty-only" body language to stress-free handling, your cats will feel right at home with someone who understands their specific needs. šŸˆā€ā¬›šŸ›‹ļø

​I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and truly passionate about animal welfare. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members and provide them with the professional, loving care they deserve! šŸ šŸ’•

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free 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 free Meet & Greet!
