Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My housemate has a cat named Apollo. When I moved in, I went into full aunt mode and love spoiling him. He is a shy boy and takes a while to warm up to new people. The day I moved in it was just me and Apollo as my housemate and partner were at work. Within a few hours Apollo came into my room and slowly we were able to hangout on the bed and give him pets. Since then we enjoy hanging on the couch watching TV and he allows me to pick him up for a short time and then gives me a signal when he has had enough and I set him down. I have also been harness and leash training him so we can go outside on the unfenced patio and he can explore as he is a very curious cat.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I tend to make time to see family and friends throughout the year so holidays aren't a big deal for us. I attend an annual camping adventure during Labor Day but otherwise happy to spend the holidays with your fur babies.

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

I know patience is key especially with cats. It's all on their terms. I like to provide the space and time for them to feel comfortable. I make an effort to sit on the floor nearby but also with giving them enough space to feel safe and not block the exits so they can move into another room or go into a safe hiding spot. I've noticed the 'cat smile' where I do long eye blinks has been well received and of course treats. I also work with you to find out what makes your cat feel safe and best practices you and past sitters have used that your cat responds well to.

Ashurina was so caring and conscientious. I felt confident I could leave my very senior cat for a longer period of time and he would get the loving attention and medical needs met. So grateful for Ashurina's kindness and trustworthiness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Palm Springs cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $26.00. 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.
