Learn More About Shari

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been watching my friends and families pets since I was in my teens but I have been working with Meowtel for several years and loving it!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy meeting the owners and spending time with their cats. Its my chance to spend time with cats/kittens and enjoy their personalities, playfulness and affection. I grew up with cats but I currently have two Australian Shepherds, so this gives me the chance to get my "cat fix"!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I grew up with cats since I was 10 years old. I currently don't have any kitties due to my 2 dogs, but my last cat passed away a couple of years ago at the age of 18. Her name was Nibs.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Go with your gut feeling and see how your kitty responds to the sitter. I think it is very important to have a good feeling about the person you are leaving your fur baby with and that they can accommodate your schedule and your cats needs.

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

I do a meet and greet with them at a time convenient for them. I like to meet their kitties and ask questions about the cat, whether it needs medications, has certain foods or other needs that are important. I have them show me where the litterbox, food and toys are and it the kitties have favorite toys. I also ask if there are places the cat doesn't like to be touched or certain things the cat loves (ex: scratches behind the ear, likes to cuddle, etc.)

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I ask the owner to leave their Vet's information in case of an emergency (which I hopefully will never have to use). I also ask if the cat likes to try to get outside so I will know to be careful coming and going that they don't get out.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am usually available during the holidays and I try to keep my calendar updated with any days that I will not be able to make visits.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I like the "fishing pole" type of toy and lasers when playing with cats. :)

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

I try to keep low key so not to startle them and I let them do the interacting when they are ready for it. I find that keeping calm, speaking softly and giving them their space is very helpful in making the cat feel more comfortable around me.

Shari took great care of my cats while we were out of town! She came as reserved every time, and communicated with me about their health & social behaviors, including a photo each day. This allowed us to travel without worries about how they were doing!

Shari watched our little one for two weeks while we were out of town and was very communicative, sent multiple photos each time she visited, and went above and beyond in putting away our perishable food when we forgot to pause our meal kit service. We can tell that our cat appreciated her company and playtime! Thanks Shari!

I had not left my cat ever, except with family, and was extremely nervous. However Shari responded quickly. She came to visit, Chloe a few weeks before sitting time. This was so reassuring to both Chloe and I. Shari spent a lot of time with us and I felt she cared. I was happy she took notes and was totally organized, flexible and easy to communicate with. Shari did contact me before I left to reasssure me all would be fine. The first day of my trip I was concerned something could go wrong but all went as planned and I received a few photos of Chloe. Next day Chloe looked happier and by the third day she ate all her food and purred when Shari came over. I really loved seeing Chloe get more and more accustomed, via the pictures, every day. I was not anxious while away since I felt Chloe was in reliable and capable hands. Chloe has some odd little habits (whip cream and treats and she wears a tracker) Shari did it all. Shari was perfect fit for us. I will use her again.

Shari was fantastic! I very much appreciated her meet and greet. She was very willing to care for our cats and meet their complicated needs since my cats must be kept separate. She took notes during her meet and greet to verify all information. During the actually sitting, she was great about sending pictures, spending some time with the cats, providing them with their supplements, and cleaning their litter boxes. She was even super great about coordinating with us to get the house key back to us. Will definitely be keeping Shari at the top of the list for future cat sitting needs!

Can't recommend Shari enough! I was so excited that she was available again this year! She's trustworthy, great with cats and exceptionally accommodating (the first time I left my cats, I had a panic attack and she went to check on them early). FANTASTIC and the first person I'll call for petsitting

Shari was great! My two kitties were very happy and well taken care of. Shari administered meds to one with no problems. She sent pics and communicated with me daily. I even left something plugged in and Shari saved the day by coming a day early!

Shari was the best cat sitter we could have asked for. She is very pleasant and when she came over to meet our petite, somewhat shy, five year old tuxedo cat (Cleo), Cleo did not run away and actually connected with Shari right away. Cleo only hid under the bed one day and the rest of the days, Cleo came out and played! We are so happy and now have peace of mind leaving our sweetie with capable hands. We are booking Shari again for a future date!!!

Shari is the best! We have booked her several times to take care of our 14-year-old precious black cat Samson. She always pays attention to Samson’s care details, and she is a wonderful communicator overall. She sends us regular updates to show us how Samson is doing because she knows that we value knowing that he is safe. Samson really does not like strangers, but he is already starting to warm up to her! We really don’t know what we would do without Shari!

Shari was great! I returned to fairly calm kitties that had been clearly cared for (they are usually very needy when I return). She cleaned up and left a happy home.

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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
