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

The biggest thing for me is that I don't feel like I'm bothering the sitter with all my requests so if a new cat parent is unsure of what to ask for, I'm happy to share my hopes when I hire a sitter! After that I start by learning all about your kitty's personality, routines, and any special needs. We’ll go over feeding, playtime, litter care, and any quirks or preferences they have. I also like to know your communication style so I can give updates that keep you at ease (probably my biggest concern when I'm away from my cat). My goal is to follow your instructions so your kitty feels safe, happy and loved while you’re away.

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

I feel like trusting your home and baby to a stranger (hopefully not for long!!) can be one of the scariest things. That's why whatever your instructions are don't feel like you're being too extra. My main effort is to follow your instructions closely along with keeping doors, windows, and other hazards secured at all times, especially with how quick and agile cats are. I make sure your baby is safely indoors, double check food water and litter and watch for any signs of distress. For your home, I lock up carefully, respecting your privacy and taking care of the home how I'd hope a sitter would take care of mine. And again, regular updates to make sure you know your cat and home are safe!!

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

This question is perfect because I know firsthand how important patience and gentleness are (I have the MOST timid anxious kitty). I let the cat set the pace, avoid sudden movements (my cat hates sudden movements. And most people haha) and giving them plenty of space to feel safe. I use a calm voice and quiet presence to build their trust because sometimes just sitting near them and letting them come to me works best. The goal is ALWAYS to make them feel secure and respected.

Sheila was an excellent cat sitter for the Thanksgiving holiday (six days away), providing professional and loving care that allowed for a stress-free trip. Sheila was communicative, sending frequent updates with photos and videos, and went above and beyond by cleaning up after my kids and ensuring the cats were happy and comfortable. I would highly recommend Sheila and plan to use services again.

No notes! Sheila was of amazing help while we were out, and took fantastic care of our 3 cats, not to mention dodging through all of our cat deterrents on a daily basis without complaint. Sheila went above and beyond, taking regular update pictures, playing with them, and even vacuuming some of their mess (very much appreciated and not expected). We have some more trips coming up and most certainly plan on hiring her again.

Sheila was a true professional. She followed all of our instructions perfectly, and her communication skills were excellent. She earned our cat's trust almost immediately, and we could see from the photos she sent daily that he was very happy. I would highly recommend Sheila to take care of your cat or cats!

Second time working with Sheila and quality of kitty care remains top notch! Our cats love her and there's definitely less chaos to come home to so that's a secondary bonus.

Sheila is such a gentle and caring cat sitter, as soon as I know that I will be traveling she's the first one I reach out to because I know my cat needs to be in good hands and I have full confidence in her.

There's no one I would trust my babies to more than to Sheila! She's always so patient with them and they love seeing her because she always has some healthy, tasty treat for them. I know my babies and my home are in good hands when I leave and she's quick to communicate and will always send pictures without you asking. I hope other cats get to benefit from her amazing care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ontario 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 $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. 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.
