Learn More About Meredith

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

I adore cats! I've taken care of kittens and adult cats since my early 20's. I've been active doing fostering for local rescues and county shelters for many years. I've been involved in cat and dog rescue work and volunteering for many years. I have 5 cats of my own currently and usually have a few foster kittens or cats awaiting their forever homes through adoption. I've also worked at a local petsitting company for the last year.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Getting to know each individual cat and learning their personality, likes and dislikes. I enjoy earning their trust and building a friendship with each cat. I like to learn what their favorite things are, whether they are food motivated or have a high play drive or both!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite would probably be a longer duration of visit where I have time to play with the cats as cats love to play and get their energy out and need it as much as dogs do.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 5 cats…Willow, Winter, Mia, Tortie, and Cinder. They each have different personalities and needs. Some of my cats like receiving affection more and a few have a high play drive. I have one cat that is extremely food-motivated and we have to lock up the cat food because she will eat it all if given the chance!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

I understand it can be difficult leaving your cats at home to travel or take a vacation as I go through it myself but I aim to give you peace of mind while you are away knowing that your cats are in very capable, loving hands. I will ensure they're fed, happy, safe, and entertained while you are away.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

Meeting the cat parent and going through their usual routines with their cats to ensure the cat keeps their normal routine as much as possible and making sure to record all owner's instructions and go over expectations for each of their cat's care. I have a T-shirt that says "Purrsonal Cat Servant" and it is really true, I love to make cats happy!

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

Always making sure to follow owner's instructions, keeping all cats safe and secure in the home by keeping windows and doors secured and locked, and carefully observing the cats while I am in the home. I personally do not allow my own cats outside.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes usually. I hope to have full availability after this holiday season starting in February.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I like Go Cat Dabird/turkey flyers, cat dancer, really any wand toys!

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I would give them plenty of space and patience. I would not force them to interact with me if they are anxious or shy. I would talk softly and move slowly, sitting down on the floor in the room. I would avoid direct eye contact and would utilize slow blinking to try to keep them calm. I also have Feliway spray with cat pheromones that can help calm cats. I have worked with many shy cats and have progressed very slowly on their terms to build a trust and friendship to where they eventually feel comfortable with me.

Frequently Asked Questions

Modesto cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $31.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
