I'm Fern
Cat Sitting in Denver, CO
Besides wanting to meet all the cats just fo... Hey i'm Fern! I love cats of course or why else would I be cat sitting? My kitty, Dolly, brightens my life so much I can't express it. I am looking to foster an older cat soon as well. I grew up with two older cats and a dog.
Besides wanting to meet all the cats just for the joy of it; I am confident I can care for your little babies the way they deserve. I know how to respect cat's boundaries and read them to know how they are feeling. I am very empathetic and perceptive. I am great at following directions and am an open communicator.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
After a reservation is made, we will set up a complimentary meet n greet so I can meet the kitties and get a rundown of what they need. A typed or written outline of their needs is also highly appreciated.

I am sad to be leaving this review due to all the other positive one, but I cannot recommend Fern. Communication was incredibly difficult (several unanswered messages and responses were typically short) and we found out Fern did not check on our cat one of our reserved days. This was only after contacting her multiple times asking for an update. I did meet Fern and told her to contact me if anything came up while we were out of town multiple times, we would have completely understood if she needed to reschedule. I will be contacting Meowtel for a refund because Fern did not amend the reservation for the days she was not able to come. To be honest I spent a lot of my Thanksgiving worrying about my cat being taken care of.

I have initiated a refund from Meowtel. I was very sick and out of it but I should have communicated better. I am incredibly sorry.

Fern was a great cat sitter over the holidays - always made time to play with my cat and send updates, which were very appreciated as I was missing my girl a lot. I would highly recommend hiring Fern :)

Fern went above and beyond: 1. we developed an ant problem while Fern was caring for our cats, and Fern took care of it. 2. our terribly temperamental front door stole Fern's key, and the locksmith broke off the key in the lock. through all of this, Fern remained calm and communicative. Fern had to have displayed a good bit of self-sufficiency, because we were out of cell service for a large chunk of our 9 day camping trip. 3. Fern absoluteleft our house in pristine shape, and our house smelled lovely when we returned (the strongest evidence of daily litterbox cleanings: i have a sensitive nose). i will not only hire Fern again (if they will have us, omg) but will recommend Meowtel as a setvice to all of my friends.

I couldn't be happier with the care Fern provided for our fur-babies, Ashoka and Aurelian. Aurelian, who needs lots of playtime, was kept happy and engaged, while Ashoka, who has a sensitive tummy, was cared for with such kindness. Fern went above and beyond, cleaning up any messes without hesitation and making sure both cats felt comfortable and loved. She was thoughtful, responsive to our specific needs, and truly dedicated to their well-being. Highly recommend!

Fern was amazing! She was willing to meet before the reservation to go over my cats caretaking needs and instructions, and she followed them to a “T.” I’m beyond grateful I didn’t have to stress and worry about my cats during my trip. Moreover, Fern routinely sent me photos and videos of my cats and it seemed they really grew to like and trust her. Lastly, one of my cats suffers from tear drainage on her eyes, and Fern kept them clean each day, which was such a relief! I would and will be booking her again very soon. She’ll treat your cats like they’re her own, she responsive and responsible, and reliable! Thank you for everything Fern!

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.
- Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.
All refunds are initially applied to the Cat Parent's Meowtel Account Balance for use toward a future reservation or tip. Funds may be returned to the original payment method at any time.
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.
Denver cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $28.00. 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 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. 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 free Meet & Greet!

Fern was absolutely amazing! She stepped in last minute during a really tough time when we had put our eldest cat down and still had a wedding to attend. She made sure that our other cats were taken care of during a time of change, to send us pictures and reassure us. She was endlessly flexible and went out of her way to accommodate us. Highly highly recommend!!

this is my second time with Fern being our "cat-taker". Fern, as always, keeps my cats healthy & happy, the boxes clean, and the house in order. i wouldn't use anyone else.

Fern is wonderful. We are very pleased with her care. Our kitty was surely pleased too with her. Evidence for this is that she (kitty) was super sweet when we returned. From prior experiences this tells us (along with Fern’s continuous updates) that she was fine, happy with Fern and felt at ease with her. We will certainly call on Fern again to care for our little fur ball.
