Cat Sitting in Denver, CO

Hello cat people! I am Michaela- esthetician by day and cat enthusiast/lover for life. I have cared for and genuinely adored cats for more than 20 years. I believe that every cat is a truly unique individual that deserves attentive, communicative, and sensitive caregivers. I bring a high level of awareness to my presence and communication with every kitty I care for, from very social to very sensitive. My goal is to make your time away as easy for your cat’s nervous system as possible (and yours!)... Hello cat people! I am Michaela- esthetician by day and cat enthusiast/lover for life. I have cared for and genuinely adored cats for more than 20 years. I believe that every cat is a truly unique individual that deserves attentive, communicative, and sensitive caregivers. I bring a high level of awareness to my presence and communication with every kitty I care for, from very social to very sensitive. My goal is to make your time away as easy for your cat’s nervous system as possible (and yours!).

When caring for your cat, I prioritize
-Affection, play, and/or your kitty’s preferred engagement
-Cleaning including litter boxes, water bowls and running fountains
-Attention to detail, especially regarding cleanliness and potential safety hazards
-Prompt updates with pictures, voice memos, videos etc.
*I am only able to administer topical medications at this time.

My fiancé and I have three cats at home, and getting to know each of them, creating routines together, and catifying our home has been an essential joy in life. Every cat I meet is as special to me as my own.
I would love to answer any questions you have during a consultation. I look forward to meeting your cat soon!

Learn More About Michaela

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy getting to know the personality quirks and idiosyncrasies of the cats I meet! Additionally, I know how impactful having a good cat sitter can be for someone’s peace of mind, and the positive difference it can make for a cat when their usual caregivers are out of town. I believe it makes the transition so much kinder to everyone, and I am super happy to facilitate this.

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

I will always ensure that all doors are locked both during and after the visit, as well as any windows that are in the home. I keep a detailed eye out for hazards like forbidden chewables, appliances plugged in/on, etc. I carefully follow all instructions as it relates to the security of the home and the safety of your cat.

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

After getting as much information as possible during consultations, I prefer to let both your experience and the individual cat inform my interactions. I understand that some cats prefer to hide and will approach you if they change their minds. I am sensitive with my tone, body language, and volume. I will always get at least a picture of every cat even if they don’t interact. That is what I prefer when my own sensitive baby is cat-sat!

Michaela is amazing! She has a gift with cats and is so deeply attuned to their personalities, needs, and emotions. It's obvious that she truly loves and cares for cats, and that genuine love and care comes through in everything she does. She is thoughtful, attentive, and makes sure each cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I feel completely confident leaving my cats in the hands of someone so caring, intuitive, and trustworthy. I can't recommend Michaela highly enough!

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 $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!
