My 16-year-old cat is easily frightened by overly excited people. Stephanie sensed that right away so she left Laverne come to her on her own time. It worked perfect and Laverne was very trusting right from the start.

Stephanie is a wonderful person and cat-sitter. She's warm, gentle and sweet with our cats. While we were on our trip, she sent us daily videos of how each of our kitties was doing. It warmed our hearts and relaxed us so that we could enjoy our vacation. We are so thankful that we found her and have already booked her for our next trip. We recommend her to others in only the highest terms.

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.
If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.
Eureka cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $27.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.
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. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet!

Stephanie took care of our kitties. She made sure the water was clean, food refilled and litter refreshed. My cats can be shy, but one of them came out and demanded affection.
