Learn More About Merritt

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Each cat has such a unique personality, which is why I love cat sitting and getting to meet new cats. It’s so rewarding when they learn to trust me more, especially after a few days. Nothing makes me happier than when they come to greet me at the door and are fully engaged with me when I visit, it feels like a little victory!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two kittens, Billie (Eilish) and Mick (Fleetwood). Billie is a calico and she is absolutely crazy, Mick is an orange tabby and is surprisingly calm for an orange cat. They are filling big paws, my childhood cat of 18 years passed last summer, but I see her in little things that they do which makes me really happy.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I always like to meet up in person with a new cat parent to meet them, their cat, and get instructions and ask any questions I might have. I think it’s great to meet in person to be able to establish that rapport!

Merritt has watched my cat Jojo twice -- she is very reliable, communicates well, takes great photos, and is super warm and personable. She provides peace of mind that your animals are in great hands while you are away. I highly recommend her.

Merritt checked in on my cat every other day for two and a half weeks while I was away for work. She is responsive, dependable, and Carl was absolutely smitten with her, as proved by one of her last photos to me with Carl pinning her down in a cuddle. I am very grateful to have had Merritt hang with my little guy for all that time. It was a huge relief to have the communication and the photos while being away for so long.

Merritt was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter! She was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly very experienced with cats. She sent me regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My cat can be a bit particular, but Merritt totally understood her and made her feel safe and comfortable. I came home to a happy, relaxed kitty and a spotless home. I’m so grateful for her care and will definitely reach out again for future trips.

Merritt is an amazing cat sitter that doesn’t just do the bare minimum. I am a pilot so am gone for a few days at a time and she makes sure my cat isn’t only fed but that she gets lots of snuggles and play time. I never have to worry about her not showing up she is very reliable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Arvada 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 $28.00. 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Every Meowtel reservation may come with a 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 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, every reservation may come with a Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
