I'm Mercedes
Cat Sitting in Englewood, CO
His little furry love increased my obsession. I learned how cats communicate and what their body language means.
Most cats are food motivated and I will attempt to give your fur baby as many treats as you will let me... Hi, my name is Mercedes and I'm a bit obsessed with cats. Ever since I was a little girl all I wanted was a cat. When I was 12 years old I wrote my father a letter explaining how I wanted a cat and everything I'd do to take care of them. Soon after, I got my first kitten Riley! I cried when they told me he was mine.
His little furry love increased my obsession. I learned how cats communicate and what their body language means.
Most cats are food motivated and I will attempt to give your fur baby as many treats as you will let me. My own cat Cosmo (3) is not as food motivated but will go crazy for playtime!
Each individual cat has their own needs and I want to meet those. I also utilize slow blinking with cats to communicate. This helps to communicate that I am safe and welcoming to them.
I will never rush your cat or force them beyond their boundaries. Boundaries are important!
I am able to administer topical medications, ear ointments, injections and more depending on your cat.
I'm maxed out in my own home with 3 cats but I have so much more love to give cats! Let me love your fluff ball like you do!

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
My first cat sitting job was when I was twelve. I had so much fun with Mia and Slush! I've had cats around my whole life and have 2 decades of experience with them.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have three fur children that I absolutely adore. My oldest cat, Riley, is 15 years old! He's a big love bug with a grouchy meow. Kiwi is my baby even though she is almost 9 years old. She has a ton of sass but is truly a softie at heart. I can't sit down anywhere without her wanting to sit in my lap with me! Cosmo is my youngest at 3 years old. He was a tough one as he came with a fear warning when we adopted him. He spend many weeks hiding under our bed. Over the years, we've gained his trust and love. He now sleeps directly between my husband and I!
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I'm very cat safety conscious. I never leave out anything your cats could get into that would be unsafe or a hazard. This includes but not limited to - hair ties, bottle caps, plastic, you name it. I am very cautious about letting cats outdoors. My own cats are strictly indoor. I want to make sure they come back safely every day!

Mercedes was wonderful. She assisted me while in a bind when I needed someone with little notice. She took great care of my Lucy, was wonderful with updates and detailed in her messages which was so helpful while I was away. I highly recommend her as she was loving and caring.

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.
Englewood cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. 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!
