I'm Chivonne
Cat Sitting in Englewood, CO
Hi, I'm Chivonne, and I simply love cats! I am currently working on several writing projects, which allows me to work from home and have a flexible sitting schedule.
I have decades of experience with all types of cats. Shy and frightened ones are my specialty, as they have always seemed to gravitate my way. I have found that I have an infinite amount of patience for them because I have seen firsthand how just a bit of consistent patience can literally change a cat's life... I will treat your cat like the King or Queen they are!
Hi, I'm Chivonne, and I simply love cats! I am currently working on several writing projects, which allows me to work from home and have a flexible sitting schedule.
I have decades of experience with all types of cats. Shy and frightened ones are my specialty, as they have always seemed to gravitate my way. I have found that I have an infinite amount of patience for them because I have seen firsthand how just a bit of consistent patience can literally change a cat's life. Nothing is more rewarding to me than earning the trust of a cat!
Along with being patient, I am reliable, trustworthy, attentive, and considerate of your time. I have experience giving oral meds and insulin shots. But most importantly, I will care for your cat exactly the way that I would want someone to care for mine.
Whether they are shy or friendly, your cat will get to know me well, as I have a tendency to talk to cats constantly. I basically tell them every little thing I'm doing with/for them, make up songs for and about them that use their name a lot, and yes, I will sometimes dance around to entertain cats. My cats, Pryanik and Gov'nor, love it and I bet yours will too!
I adore meeting new cats and I can't wait to meet yours!
Learn More About Chivonne
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I just love meeting new cats. I love getting to know their personality and quirks, what they like and what they don't. It feels less like a "job" and more like something to look forward to. "Who do I get to visit today??" is an exciting thought. I also love being able to provide solid peace of mind to you, the human! I know the stress of having to leave a cat in someone else's care for an hour, a day, a week. You want that person to be trustworthy and you want to feel like that person will care for your cat the same way you would. And I will!
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Pryanik (it means Honeycake in Russian) is my 6 year old Scottish Straight. We adopted him at age 4 from a breeder who was retiring him. He is originally from Russia. He was sent to us by our angel boy, Cowboy, who passed away at the age of 12. Gov'nor is my Tuxedo girl who just turned 1. We adopted her from a shelter. We were looking for a completely different type of cat but there was just something in her eyes that made us want to meet her. The shelter staff said she was the highest level of scared. She had been living in a cat colony from birth. For two months no one was interested because she was so terrified that she would run headfirst into walls to avoid humans. We brought her home and with kindness and patience, brought her out of her shell. You wouldn't recognize her now!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Patience. Building trust takes time and effort. It's great when cats warm up quickly, but it's so rewarding when you can earn the shy ones' trust. I've found that things like using a soft, consistent voice and getting down on their level, and giving them plenty of space and access to their safe spaces helps tremendously in this process. I will never force a cat to interact with me and will never force a cat to do anything they clearly don't want to do (safety considered, of course). I want your cat to trust and like me, and no matter what, this takes time and patience. If this means spending the majority of the visit sitting on the floor and talking to your cat about my day, the weather, the new novel I'm reading, etc. in order to build that trust, I'll do it, and happily.

Chivonne was absolutely fantastic. She took great care of both of my elderly cats while keeping in touch with me on everything that was going on at home. She was amazing during the meet and greet too. I missed our appointment but she was very understanding and flexible with me. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my cats with Chivonne in the future!

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 $31.00. 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!
