Couldn’t possibly ask for more. Stephanie showed up each day as scheduled and spent time with our 19 year old kitty. She gave her Churru treats, cleaned up litter, food, and any messes, and sent lots and lots of pictures. Just perfect!

Stephanie was wonderful and our two cats are as happy as we are. This was our first time hiring a pet sitter in years, and I was anxious about leaving for several days. Stephanie was patient, communicated often, prompt with her visits, and above all very friendly with us and the kitties. She helped us feel relaxed and enjoy our trip so much more. I would absolutely recommend her and ask her to sit for us in the future!

Stephanie is very conscientious and thorough and made a point of meeting Nora’s human prior to our vacation. Steph provides daily and thorough updates with photos of a happy Nora. Steph was a godsend and I would recommend her highly for her professionalism and heart!

I’m beyond greatful I found Steph on here. We wouldn’t have been able to go on our family vacation if it wasn’t for her help. I have 4 long haired Persian & Himalayans so they are a bit of high maintenance though super sweet. Steph went above and beyond she made time to brush them and clean little Pearl’s eyes. Aside from feedings 2x/day liter boxes were done. Steph Thank You!!! If you are looking for anyone that is AMAZING with your kitties.... Look no further!

We are so entirely grateful to have found Stephanie! I can't say enough about how awesome she is; so thoughtful and caring towards our two rescue kitties. Even though one of our cats was "shy" and mainly hid under the bed, Steph was patient and made sure he was fed and looked after. She was even able to find a solution to give him his medicine! I know my kitties felt safe with her and looked forward to the visits each day and we enjoyed seeing the photos Steph sent us during each visit, they made us laugh :). My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our trip, knowing they were in excellent and trustworthy hands. We highly recommend her service and will most definitely call upon her again in the near future. Our warmest thanks...

Stephanie was an absolutely wonderful caretaker for our very shy kitty, Thomas, while we were away. She arrived on time daily, her communication was detailed and timely, and she tended to all of Thomas’ needs. It was easy to see the amount Stephanie truly cares and her compassion for others, including our furry friends!

Stepanie was amazing! Did a pre-visit that covered everything and even took notes. Was on-time for all visits and followed up with text and pictures. Really caring with pets and highly knowledgable. Great experience and I will always use Stephanie for all my pet sitting needs - highly recommended!

Stephanie was outstanding with my two kitties! It was their first time being left alone and Stephanie provided such amazing care, and gave me peace of mind while I was away that my kitties were in great hands! Stephanie went above and beyond with the care she provided including detailed and frequent updates + pictures! I cannot recommend Stephanie enough, she was fabulous!

Stephanie was absolutely the best person we could have found to take care of our cats. Despite them not being the friendliest, they all warmed up to her and she made sure they were more than just fed in our absence. She went above and beyond and is very trustworthy. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend Steph. She is caring and loving with my shy little kitty (who is no longer shy with Steph). Steph not only is a great communicator but she goes above and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions
Palm Desert 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 $35.00. 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.
