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

I always double check that doors and windows are secure, keep an eye out for anything out of place, and follow the home instructions you provide closely. With the cats, I make sure their environment is safe, free of hazards, and that they have access to food, water, and a clean litter box. I also provide regular updates and photos so you know your fur baby and home are in good hands.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! I know holidays are one of the busiest times when cat parents need extra help, so I do my best to make myself available. I recommend booking early to make sure I can secure the dates, but I’m definitely open to holiday visits.

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

Patience is key. I give shy or anxious cats plenty of space and let them come to me at their own pace. I’ll sit quietly nearby, speak softly, and offer my hand for them to sniff when they’re ready. I never force interaction instead, I let trust build slowly. Over time, most cats warm up when they realize I respect their boundaries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Orange 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 $32.00. 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.
