I’ve had cats my whole life and they’re my favorite little buddies! I call any and all cats “kittens” or “kiddos” regardless of age simply because they’ll always be cutie babies 🥰
I’m a wife and fur mama to a 13yo sweet kitten named Seamus, and as of January 2025, a stay at home mom to a baby girl! I’ve dealt with medications for cats before, however never anything involving needles. I’ve done injections before on humans (insulin), so I am willing to do so if necessary. I’m very clean and tidy and do whatever necessary to ensure everyone is safe and happy while their parents are away!
I can’t wait to meet you and your cutie babies soon! 😁

Skyelar took incredible care of my two cats. She was attentive and kind during the meet and greet, and I was confident she’d be a great sitter. My cats are particular about their food, and Skyelar was on top of it all. I looked forward to her updates and photos each day, knowing my boys were in great hands! Skyelar even went above and beyond bringing in packages delivered while I was away, too. Thank you, Skyelar!

Skyelar is absolutely awesome! We had her take care of our kitties while we were out of the country for a week. Our situation was a little more challenging than most with a variety of cat diets, some meds, a senior cat that doesn’t always make it to the litter box in time and also having to keep some kitties in separate rooms to avoid potential fights. We met with Skyelar before our trip to go over the care instructions, and immediately we felt very comfortable with her. She has a great personality and communication is easy with her. Daily she left us very detailed updates of how all the kitties were doing, what she did while visiting and pictures/ videos of our kitties! We are very happy with how our kitties were taken care of while we were gone and would highly recommend!

Skyelar is a wonderful cat sitter! She has taken care of our two cats multiple times. Our cats are always content when we get back from our travels, so we know they were well cared-for! She always makes sure they both eat, even our shy boy who doesn’t always come out. This time she also had to administer a pill each day in a pill pocket to him, making sure the other cat didn’t take it! Skyelar always leaves our kitchen tidy and empty cat bowls clean. In addition to scooping the litter, she also cleans the area around the litter box before we come back from our travels, which is always so nice in to come home to! I highly recommend Skyelar!

I was worried about leaving my very shy but very sweet cat for 3 nights. I was so pleased to get updates with photos and videos every night. I would definitely use Skyelar again! She really has a way with cats, and she is a very nice person.

I booked Skyelar a couple months in advance and did a meet and greet a couple of days before we needed her. I was concerned she might have forgotten but she was right on time. Our kitty is elderly and timid, but she got up and came over to greet Skyelar, which was a pleasant surprise. During our trip Skyelar sent us specific notes each day with several cute photos. Chloe was well taken care of and we had great piece of mind . I highly recommend her to any kitty parents. Thank you, Skyelar!

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.
If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.
Vista cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.
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!

First time using Meowtel and I am SO glad I did and that it was Skyelar. Not only was I able to enjoy my trip, I'm grateful my cats were able to stay at home where they're comfortable. Skyelar was awesome and I knew I had nothing to worry about as soon as we met. So sweet and can tell she loves cats. She did a spectacular job with the typical cat maintenance and sent pics and collages of the cats! One of the cats is very shy and she even got pics of that one! The 3 cats and I 100% recommend Skyelar!

Skyelar sent the best updates while we were away and I was so relieved to know great care was given. I liked our meet and greet which made it easy to take a trip away from my four cats and be relaxed. The boys like having someone at home at night so overnight stays were what made me comfortable going away. Skyelar made this easy and my house looked untouched. Thank you so much.

Five Purrs for Skyelar! Our recent trip was worry-free thanks to her exceptional care of our feline family and immaculate housekeeping. Our two cats were very confortable with Skyelar, even our very shy cat who was fine with her being in the house. Our friendly cat was very happy to see her to be fed, of course, but also to be cuddled and to play! Skyelar kept us connected with daily updates and adorable photos. Seeing our cats enjoying their stay made our trip even more enjoyable. Skyelar's skills extend far beyond the cat kingdom. She took care of picking up the mail and putting away the garbage bins. In short, Skyelar is reliable, communicative, and goes above and beyond to ensure your furry friends and home are well-loved and well-kept.

Skyelar always takes wonderful care of our kitties! She makes sure our shy boy eats his meals, and she gives lots of love and playtime to our social girl! We can tell she shows them so much love! She always leaves our house and the kitties’ bowls/eating area and litter boxes very clean! We highly recommend Skyelar!

Her love for animals is clear and will be booking her for all of our future vacations. I cannot thank her enough for giving us such peace of mind while we were gone
