Starla did a wonderful job looking after our two cats while we were away on a 10-day trip. From the first meet-and-greet it was obvious her priority was making sure our cats were truly happy and well cared for (as opposed to just doing basic pet chores and leaving). By the end of the trip she had coaxed our super shy boy cat out of his permanent hiding spot multiple times and had earned his trust and headbutts! She made sure both our cats got lots of playtime and sent great photos and videos. All in all we highly recommend Starla and look forward to having her watch our cats again in the future!

Starla always goes above and beyond! She gets to know each cat's personality and spends time playing and engaging with them (in addition to all the usual food/litter/medication needs). She is a true cat whisperer and friend to all felines.

Starla was so thoughtful and kind. I had no worries whatsoever while my kitties were with her. She went above and beyond with my shy cat and gave detailed updates after every visit. She even let them play with her own cat toys. I would 100000% book with her again! I hope she’s free next time I’m out of town.

Starla went so far above and beyond to take care of my cat, I cannot recommend her enough. She not only brought extra toys and wet food to try out but stayed later on more than one occasion. Every one of her updates was incredibly thorough and gave me incredible peace of mind while I was away. I would give six stars if I could—seriously, she's the best!!

We've used Starla several times for cat sitting of various lengths, including during a couple of three week trips overseas. This time, she took care of our kitty while we spent a full month in England and France. Starla is so capable, concerning customized cat care, cat cavorting, and cat condition communication, that we can't conceive of contracting any other caregiver. Her devoted approach to making sure our little guy Axel is happy and healthy has given us the confidence to travel more often and for longer periods without worrying about his welfare. Generous daily updates in the app with text, photos and video confirm that all is well. As usual, five felines! 🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱

Starla is always so communicative & eases the away from home anxiety that comes when leaving a pet. Daily detailed updates, amazing photos, and sweet notes let us know she cares as much as we do about our furball.

Starla handled complicated medication requests with confidence and gave both of our cats wonderful attention and play while we were gone for the holidays. She has been our one catsitter for years and really treats all cats with the utmost care.

Starla was so amazing with my Neemo! She was very very VERY detail oriented and checked in with me to make sure that Neemo had everything he needed to be as comfy, safe, and happy as possible. She truly went above and beyond any other cat sitter I have ever booked before on Meowtel. She even went out of her way to assist when the litter ran out (which was my bad for not ordering enough). 10/10! Will definitely book Starla again!

Starla patiently coaxed my shy kitty into coming out to eat and play. By the end of her stay, Starla had my two kitties leaping in the air and dashing around after toys. I’m so grateful Starla took the time to really get to know both cats, to cater to their eating quirks and give them the play and cuddles that they each specifically require. I did not have to worry about my cats while I was out this week. Thank you, Starla!

Starla was a fantastic catsitter who went above and beyond. She charmed my shy boy kitty with treats and toys and was ever so patient with my mommy’s girl cat. She took the time to learn their tendencies, quirks, and preferences around eating, playing, and interacting. She figured out that my boy cat has more of a ground style to play whereas my girl kitty is a flyer, and she was so very obliging with my girl’s pickiness. We’re so lucky to have Starla - thank you!

starla has watched over my kitties for 2 years now, totalling 26 visits! she always brings treats and is incredible about taking pictures and sharing very detailed updates. my cats are very comfortable with her, and she knows their personalities and quirks super well. she is my go-to when I have work trips of 2-3 days in length!

Starla went above and beyond to take care of our kitties over the holidays. She brought many different toys and treats to give them and spent a lot of time earning their trust and playing/interacting with them. We got detailed reports every day including lots of cute photos. I felt very comfortable because she is knowledgeable and professional. We would definitely book again!

We are thankful Starla was able to care for our two (older) guys over the holidays. Both require medication and we were nervous to leave them for the 10 day break. But Starla eliminated worries and ensured they had their required medications. And she took the time to really get to know our cats' personalities. She is like Mary Poppins for cats -- so many toys! She got both of our guys to play. Her daily updates showed that she takes cats well being seriously. We felt our cats were well taken care of and did not have to worry while we were away.

Starla always goes above and beyond to make sure our kitties are comfortable and that we are in the know about anything and everything going on while we are away. She was great at giving our cat their oral medication and always brings fun toys at playtime. She is super knowledgeable about everything cat and has been the absolute best with our other cat who is not that great with strangers, if she can get him to open up, she can do anything. Thanks Starla!

This was my second time booking with Starla - she is amazing! She always brings tons of toys for my high energy babies and I know they’re in great hands with her. I would highly recommend Starla! 10/10

Starla was very caring with Floki from the beginning to the end. she made sure he had everything he needed, food, water, litter, attention and play time. She sent me feedbacks after every visit with important details. And most of all, Floki loves her!

We love Starla! She takes great care of our kitties. They have warmed up to her so much...we think they prefer her to us! She takes great pics, plays with them and keeps us updated. She goes above and beyond-even fixing the kitties water dispenser. We are so grateful to have her!

Starla was outstanding -- conscientious and attentive. she is also the only catsitter who has been able to get a picture of any kind of my very strangers-averse former street-cat-turned-indoor-liver, never mind pictures of him eating!

Looking for a compassionate cat sitter that goes far and beyond? Look no further, Starla is the one! I had a last minute work trip out of the country and I was scrambling to find a cat sitter for my three fur balls. Starla was quick to respond and provided instructions on what needed to be done next. She came over to my place to meet in person and for her to meet and greet my cats. This also gave me the opportunity to explain instructions and to let her know where everything was at. She is a really sweet and detail oriented person. Communication was spot on! She did an excellent job letting me know when she was heading over to my place, she provided updates and details about the cats (any changes to diet, behavior, poops, etc). She sent me ongoing videos and pictures. She played with my fur balls. Whenever there were accidents, she notified me and cleaned up the mess. She asked permission if she can bring treats and toys for my cats. I also have a hamster, blubber nugget, Starla was super sweet to keep eyes on her as well. My cats loved her! It is always hard to trust someone to look over your pets, but Starla won my trust. She went FAR AND BEYOND for my cats, hamster, and in general kept my home safe. She will be the first person I call whenever I need a cat sitter. I highly recommend Starla! Thank you.

Starla is a cat whisperer! My very shy, anxious girl is so comfortable with her, and my voracious boy LOVES the treats she brings. She sends great updates and photos/videos, and she remembers so many details about them. Starla is very conscientious and affectionate, and gives me a lot of peace when I travel for work. She also has great advice about cat-care, and I trust her expertise.

Starla was an absolute dream to work with for our caretaking needs from beginning to end! Starla is exceptionally communicative, she went above and beyond during our initial meeting and gave great care toward getting to know and making sure our cats were comfortable. We received consistent and detailed communication each day we were away, with photos attached, which eased any and all anxieties in being away from our cats. I recommend Starla wholeheartedly for your pet caretaking needs, you will be very satisfied and at ease with her services. We will be checking for her availability whenever we need future cat caretaking services. Thank you so much Starla!

We keep asking Starla back because she really goes above and beyond to make sure our cats are as cared for as possible. She sends detailed and consistent updates so we are never worried about how the cats are doing. She is great with playtime, especially with our less social cat, and is also great at sharing photos.

Starla is terrific! She spent time with my kitties (brought her own toys and treats!) and got my shy one to come close and be petted too. I highly recommend. Everything spick and span when I got home. Lovely!

Starla did a great job following instructions and checking on the cats. She provided frequent updates on timing and made sure that she knew what she needed to do for the cats before arriving to our home. She even very kindly brought in a package for me as I was on vacation.

For the past 2.5 years, Starla has been caring for our four fur babies and I truly wouldn’t trust anyone else with them. She consistently goes above and beyond to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I absolutely adore her detailed (and often hilarious!) updates about their adventures, and she somehow always manages to capture the most amazing photos of them. In just a few months, my husband and I will be moving out of state and I honestly don’t know how we’ll find someone we trust as much as Starla. She has exceeded every expectation we had. I recommend her with the highest confidence and without hesitation!

Starla was great with my cat. He warmed up to her very easily and that was very comforting. Starla is considerate with notifcation as to when she will be arriving for her visit. And she takes great photos to let me know that my cat is having fun and well taken care of.

Starla was very detailed and thorough in her process. We’re grateful for all toys and entertainment she provided while we were away.

Starla knocked it out of the park yet again, and this time with a longer stretch of us being away, she made a genuine connection with my cat who is notoriously shy! I worry a lot about my cat when I'm away but I know she is safe with Starla. Starla went above and beyond multiple times.

This was our third time using Starla in 2024, and as always she goes above and beyond in every way. This booking was the longest, during our vacation of more than three weeks, and it was very reassuring knowong that Starla was taking brilliant care of the cat and keeping an eye on the house the whole time. Honestly, we've learned some lessons about cat play and loving that we will apply to our own practices now as well. She's the best 🐱

Starla is super thoughtful and patient! She is really great about communicating and sending photos. She brings lots of treats and toys (and is conscientious about cleaning the toys between cats), and she's very knowledgeable about cats. I appreciate having her take care of my cats!

Second time using Starla for our very shy cat Axel. She tends to his needs, and gets him to socialize using amazing skill, care and patience. Excellent in every way, Starla puts our mind at ease while we're away and entertains us and the cat in the process. Five stars plus!🐱

Starla is very detail-oriented, and extremely caring towards the animals. It is evident that she truly loves cats, and that she is genuinely devoted to doing the best she can, even when challenging situations arise. She is also very clean and considerate toward the house. She takes time to learn the instructions regarding the house and the cats, and she follows them accurately. Thank you, Starla!

Starla was very attentive to my kitties who need a lot of attention and she was great at playing with them and giving both much needed playtime. She was great at providing novel fun time for them and accommodating their needs.

Starla went above and beyond to comfort our shy kitty and give our energetic kitten enough play while also giving us detailed, consistent updates.

I never worry when Starla’s taking care of Gideon! He has a wonderful time!

thanks starla so always being so reliable and communicative! my cats love you and your treats :)

Starla is THE BEST. My cat was loved and fed and attended to beyond my expectations. AMAZING. They're photos and communication with me left me at ease during my travels and I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you!

I always feel confident when Starla is caring for Gideon! Everything goes smoothly and Gideon has wonderful play sessions!

I am always at ease when Starla is taking care of Gideon!

Starla always goes above and beyond to make us and our kitties comfortable. A true gem.

We choose Starla every time because she's a loving charmer with our cat and a great communicator. Axel is a 12 year old healthy but shy guy and she turned his behavior back into a fun - loving kitten. Five stars!

Starla was lovely!!!! She went above and beyond to make our kitties feel extra loved and very well taken care of!! Thank you, Starla!!

Starla is always great with our cats. It’s clear she really cares for them and we are very happy to have found her.

Starla is amazing! We love having her sit for our 2 furry babies. We love all her updates and how she plays with out kitties.

Starla is caring, reliable, detail-oriented and a great communicator. She took purr-fect care of our feline for ten days even though she was running blind so to speak because our cat is an invisible phantom when strangers are around 🐱

Starla was amazing with Monk. Highly attentive and went above and beyond!!

Starla was incredibly detail oriented and took care of my kitties like they were her own. I will absolutely be booking with Starla again!

Starla was a fantastic, communicative and caring sitter. Would definitely have her sit again in the future!

This was our third visit with Starla and again she was wonderful. Our shy kitties are warming up to her and she has been very attentive and loving to them.

This is our second time having Starla take care of our little ones. she is very attentive to details and sends us tons of pictures. we always appreciate her and are glad we found her.

Starla was reliable & attentive & established a wonderful connection with Gideon!

Starla was very helpful, kind, thorough and conscientious. It’s clear she really cares about cats and wanted to make sure they were well cared for. She also made sure that we were well informed and had peace of mind as well.

Starla was a fantastic sitter, super attentive, and took the best care of my Angie.
