Learn More About Aurora

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

With over 10 years of cat sitting experience, I’ve had the joy of caring for kitties of all ages, temperaments, and needs. I’m Pet CPR trained, spent 6 years working in pet rescue, and 3 years working hands-on at a cat café (yes, it was as magical as it sounds!). I’ve also fostered over 50 cats—everything from shy seniors to rowdy kittens—and only “foster failed” three times… which I consider an achievement and a badge of honor.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love the magic of earning a cat’s trust. Every cat is so unique—figuring out what makes each one tick (or purr!) is part of the joy.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I took care of two brothers, Bremy and Pongo and loved being able to spend time and play with them. I gave them nicknames and made up songs to sing to them which of course they loved! I also watered the plants, brought in the mail and picked the mangoes which I was allowed to take home!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 5 cats! 3 were kittens (now 13 and 5) and 2 were rescues (one was a senior). The senior took 20 months to allow me to cuddle him - I gave him his space but made sure to regularly approach him until he felt safe. His name is Sweets. The others are called Xander, Bo, Thirteen and Epponnee - all TV character names!

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

Interview several sitters until you feel comfortable. It’s hard leaving our babies and you deserve to enjoy your time away from them.

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

I double/triple check everything. I’ll never leave the property without knowing where the kitty is. I will also leave your property exactly how I found it, tidying as I go and respecting the space, as I would my own.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work through the holidays with a minimal surcharge

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

Cats do what they want, when they want and that’s what I love about them! If they want to hang with me, I love that, but if they don’t, that’s ok too. I talk (and sing) a lot on my visits so they get used to me. I get down to their level, hold out my hand for smells and never stroke them if they don’t instigate it.

Charlie warmed up to Aurora very quickly and was pleased to see her when she came to the house. Aurora sent updates and pictures daily. These were very comforting to receive. She definitely knows how to connect with Charlie and make him feel at ease.

Leaving town for work or vacation is much less stressful when I know Aurora is watching my high-maintenance cats. I trust her utterly with my most precious babies. My two cats have very different personalities, are not always easy to please, and rarely trust anyone but Mom- but they love Aurora and her gentle energy. She makes their fussy special food combinations flawlessly and keeps them happy and fed.

Aurora is a true cat whisperer. Cats know they can trust her and she always is gentle and kind with them. She’s very observant of any changes in a cat’s behavior and a good communicator.

Frequently Asked Questions

Orange cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, 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. 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.
