Cat Sitting in Colorado Springs, CO

My cat adventure began when I was around 12 years old feeding and befriending a few neighborhood cats. Though I couldn’t convince my mom to let me keep any of them, my feline fanaticism only grew over time. It wasn’t until about 10 years later when I got my first two cats, a rambunctious tabby named Bentley, with the energy and voice of a lion, and his brother Elvish, a cuddly black cat who could only chirp... My cat adventure began when I was around 12 years old feeding and befriending a few neighborhood cats. Though I couldn’t convince my mom to let me keep any of them, my feline fanaticism only grew over time. It wasn’t until about 10 years later when I got my first two cats, a rambunctious tabby named Bentley, with the energy and voice of a lion, and his brother Elvish, a cuddly black cat who could only chirp. With them I learned quite a lot about handling different personalities and interaction methods as the only thing they had in common was enjoyment of treats. With years of medical appointments and two cross-country moves, I’ve mastered the arts of administering oral medicine, sub-q fluids, and placing even the most evasive cats into carriers.

After the sudden loss of Elvish in spring of 2021, I’ve recently adopted a tortie named Ember, with just the right amount of tortitude and successfully introduced her to Bentley. I’ve since moved to the Colorado Springs area and am looking forward to continue meeting and befriending as many more cats as I can.

Hector did a fantastic job cat sitting for us. He came over a couple of days ahead of our reservation to meet out kitty and go over her schedule. I could tell he was listening to what I was saying, and he took notes as well. While we were gone, he sent very detailed messages about our kitty and what he did each visit, along with photos and video--which were much appreciated! It can be stressful being away from home and wondering if your pet is okay, but our minds were at ease with Hector cat sitting because he was so conscientious and caring. He even put food out for the stray we feed! :-) We will definitely use Hector again.

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.

Colorado Springs cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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!
