Learn More About Shirley

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been watching pets for friends for years. In the past couple years I’ve worked on multiple platforms for pet sitting and walking.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy meeting a new cat! Most cats are so sweet and funny at times. They are very chill animals.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I currently have 2 cats. I have Lew, he is a beautiful black cat that is almost 17 years old. And then there’s Scruffy. She is 2 years old and just a tiny scruffy looking black cat. Most of my cats have been from feral litters.

Shirley was wonderful and gave us a peace of mind while we were away. She was punctual on our first meeting, came and left while we were away in the agreed upon timeframe, did everything that was asked AND more! She even sent us a picture of our cat while she was checking in on her! We highly recommend and will be utilizing her services in the future!

We were incredibly lucky to find Shirley as a last-minute cat sitter, and wow—she was amazing! From the moment she came by for a walkthrough the day before we left, we knew our home (and fur babies!) were in great hands. Shirley messaged us every day with adorable updates and photos of our cats, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She even went above and beyond by watering our plants, making sure everything was just as we left it—or better! Our cats absolutely adored her and clearly miss her already. It’s not easy to find someone who is so reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring, but Shirley is all that and more. We can’t recommend her highly enough and will absolutely be reaching out to her again for our next trip!

Frequently Asked Questions

Martinez 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 $37.00. 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 you can find 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 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 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.
