Learn More About Tara

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

I have been taking care of cats my whole life! My own of course, but I have also cared for the cats of friends and family members since I was very young. I started professionally Cat Sitting with Meowtel about a year and a half ago. It has been such a great experience I can't wait to see what adventures the future holds!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I most enjoy getting to know the unique and very individual personalities of the kitties I sit for. It amazes me how each cat can have such a totally different character than another. Figuring these personalities out and winning them over is something I really enjoy. I also feel a sense of pride knowing that I'm allowing the cat parents to relax and have a little more enjoyable vacation because they trust me to care for their fur babies while they are away.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes, I have 7 cats of my own! I'm not real sure how that happened over the years lol, we just sort of found each other. First we have Oreo, a 16 year old black and white beauty and her son Rascal, a 14 year old tortoise shell with medium long hair. Next up is Motor Mama (named after her loud purring) who is 14 and Rascal's cousin. We also have Callie, 12, a petite female Calico. She was given to us by my daughter's best friend because she was allergic to her. Next is Marble, 10, our mini Bengal cat (not really but she looks like one). And finally The Boys, 8, Thunder and Shadow. These two brothers were born outside on our property and abandoned by their mama so we took them in. Full house!

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

Find someone that you trust and are comfortable with! These are your fur babies and your home. You want to be able to relax and enjoy your vacation knowing your sitter is handling everything like a pro back at home.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I am usually available during the holidays. All of my family lives nearby so I am almost always able to work in my Cat Sitting reservations around any personal holiday plans that I may have. Besides, what better way to spend the holidays than with cats?!🙂

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

When I come across a kitty that is particularly timid or anxious I work with them on their schedule. It's very important not to rush-that just adds to the cat's anxiety. Let the cat come to you. Treats or catnip often help. Sometimes I just lie down on the floor (if for example it's a cat hiding under a bed) and softly talk to her so she gets used to my voice and sees that I mean no harm. Overtime they usually warm up. And if they don't, I try not to take it personally and just care for them as best I can without adding more to their anxiety. This might mean talking calmly to them but keeping my distance so they don't feel threatened.

Tara was a great sitter! My cat is super shy and Tara was able to connect with her. She kept us updated right away and followed the checklist great.

We wouldn’t use anyone else. Tara is absolutely wonderful with our furry babies, she provides timely updates and photos. She even gets our independent 5 year old cat (who generally doesn’t like anyone) to do belly rolls for her. You will not be disappointed in her care of your pets.

Tara made sure our furry girls (and our turtle) were well cared for every day we were gone. She gave detailed updates on our babies and even got a belly roll from our independent kitty who is normally a hider . would definitely recommend her to anyone!

Very easy to make reservations. I have used Meowtel 4 times now and I LOVE it. I can go away and know my kitties are very well taken care of. Total ‘peace of mind’.

Tara is amazing. I have two cats; one is a senior (she just turned 21) who needs insulin injections twice a day. At first, I was very worried about leaving her for overnight trips. I found Meowtell and started researching. I came across Tara, and her profile made me feel safe enough to meet with her. After the first meeting, I knew she was the one I felt safe enough with to leave my favorite furs with. I have had Tara come over a few times now, and each time, I receive daily updates and come home to very happy cats. She is amazing. You will be fortunate to have her look after your fur babies.

My cats loved Tara. She kept me updated on every visit. I had to make last minute changes to my reservation and she quickly accepted. It was such a relief to know my cats were in good hands while we were gone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Norco cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. 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.
