Learn More About Abby

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to spend 1x1 time with cats and learn about their individual preferences and quirks! Catsitting is a great way to meet cats I’d otherwise never meet.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have three girls of my own. All of them came into the shelter I worked at as kittens, and I just formed a special conenction with these three. Their names are Poker, Shiloh, and Anya!

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

As shelter staff, working with fearful/anxious cats was very common. I would never push your cat outside their comfort zone because I understand that change is inherently stressful for them and they cannot be rushed when they are trying to adapt. I’d use a variety of treats and toys, and if they simply weren’t interested, I’d just sit with them quietly, perhaps reading, and offer them hiding places or perches nearby so they can safely watch me and adjust to my smells/sounds, etc.

Abby was the perfect cat sitter for my fur babies! One of my cats takes an oral medication, and Abby handled it like an absolute pro. She even got my super skittish cat to come onto her lap. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely hire her again the next time I go out of town.

Abby went above and beyond in taking care of our kitties. With her calm demeanor, she immediately put our cats (and ourselves) at ease. She even agreed to take care of them with one having recently been through surgery, and she was able to make sure her pain was well-managed. She always made sure to ask questions if needed and was quick to reply so we didn't have to worry. We returned home to stress free cats and a clean home. Overall we were very pleased and will be requesting her care in the future!

Abby came ready with relevant questions to make sure that our cats were appropriately cared for. She took excellent care of them while cleaning up after them during our vacation. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better sitter.

Abby was very responsive and easy to communicate with to set up the initial visit. During my absence, my cats had a pleasure working with her lol. They were purring and sitting on her lap. I highly recommended Abby and I will be booking with her again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Santee cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $33.00. 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.
