Learn More About Rory
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I am a huge fan of cats! All sizes, colors, and breeds I love 'em all! It's a pleasure to get to meet new kitties and take care of them while their family is away!
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two fur babies myself, a boy and a girl named Percy and Tsuki! They're both around the same again and they are the loves of my life and my most prized possessions in life without a doubt.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I like to get to know the owners as well as the cats! So lots of questions and get to know conversations, that way we have an open line of communication when it comes to watching over kitty!

Rory did a fantastic job taking care of my cat Sammy! she came over before my trip for a run through. She followed all of my instructions clearly. She gave regular updates and sent pictures often. When Sammy wasn’t eating his medication treats, Rory went above and beyond to communicate clearly what was going on so that we could figure it out. She respected my space and my home. Sammy was fluffy and happy when I got home. I highly recommend Rory for your fur baby.

When we returned home, the water fountain was empty. The food set out for 8 days was only half used despite care instructions told to sitter and added to Meowtel profile. Sitter also did not do their visits at the requested time. Overall , I was very disappointed in the lack of care and attention that went into watching my kitty.

The fountain was unplugged by Wally a few times but I always filled a bowl with water. And I switched to only the sciencediet cans since he was throwing up to help with possible overeating (also had dry food)!:)

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:
- More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
- 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.

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.
Ventura cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
