I've worked with Melanie for a couple of years now. She has always done a great job with my cats - from the basic food and litterbox chores to helping the cats learn to trust her.

Melanie was great with our cats. She worked with one of them to make friends and after that she followed Melanie around. She got the shyer cat to come out of hiding and was even able to give her her meds the last day. Melanie messaged me and sent multiple photos when she was there each day. She is a great communicator.

Melanie was great. She even got my shy kitty to come out of hiding. She texted with me while she was there and sent photos every time. The kitties were relatively calm when we got back, but it was a short trip so hopefully they do as well when we are on a longer trip. I will definitely use Melanie again.

Raisa

Melanie was fantastic!!!! 100% recommended! We were nervous about leaving our kitties for a full 10 days--we have a divided household including two mischevious hellions, one dignified asthmatic older gentleman, and enough bad feelings between the two camps to have drawn blood and sent us to the eye specialist. Silas had never done his inhaler with anyone except for me, and I had no idea how it would go. Turned out--it was not scary leaving the cats for that long when we had Melanie!!! At the initial consult, it was very clear that Melanie is a cat person. She tuned into each individual cat. When talking about and trying medication, it was very clear that she cares about delivering it gently and, as much as possible, with consent. While we were gone, meds were delivered every day (the younger two are on psych meds to help the feud situation), and it was clear the cats all warmed up to her very quickly. Comments and anecdotes made it clear she really understood and appreciated each one as their ridiculous, fabulous individual self. When we returned it kind of felt weird to not be texting back and forth about the cats anymore! Melanie also went above and beyond to go pick up some nose drops and add them to Silas's med routine when his recurrent booger situation popped up the minute we left town. Also, she got the 2 younger ones to accept and enjoy treats that they hadn't been into before and STILL will not accept from us. And it seems like they're actually better about doing their meds now than they were when we left!

Melanie has taken care of my cat, Pete, twice; both times she has done an excellent job with the usual cat-related chores like feeding and litter. Where Melanie really shines is in her attention Pete's shy/avoidant personality, and her willingness to take things slow and let the cat set the pace.

Melanie cared for my 2 kitties, one with a very strict medication regime, over the course of 5 days and she was great! She was a “live-in” and kept our apartment very clean while we were gone which was great to come home to, and she made sure the kitties had fresh water and fresh litter along with their food. She gave us updates everyday, 3 times a day, every time she gave our kitty his pill and was right on time for every one. Worth every penny! We will definitely be hiring her again!

Melanie is the GREATEST cat sitter ever!! I’ve hired over Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years! She’s sweet, responsible, friendly, reliable, and tons of fun for your pet. My cat Tulip ADORES her, it’s clear to see in all of the adorable photos of Tulip that Melanie sends me everyday while I’m away. It’s clear that Melanie loves cats and will spend her undivided attention playing with and petting your cat so they’re happy while you’re on your trip. If you’re considering booking Melanie as your cat sitter, don’t hesitate!

She’s fantastic! She’s looked after my cat for thanksgiving and Christmas vacations now. I didn’t specify morning or afternoon but she arrived at the same time of day every day. She also made a point to learn if my cat was a cuddler or likes to play. She sent at least 5+ pictures or videos daily. :)

Featured Cat Sitters Near Fort Collins, CO

Frequently Asked Questions

Fort Collins cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
