Cat Sitting in Fort Collins, CO

I have three little fur babies of my own, and I love getting to meet and get to know all of my client's pets. Every cat is different, and I really enjoy discovering each one of their personalities, their nuances, and what they like and dislike.

Lily is my little princess. She loves to cuddle, she's super adventurous and friendly, and she's extremely food motivated.

James is my insecure little prince. He secretly adores cuddles and intentional affection, but he's also a scaredy cat until he gets to know you.

Aviendha is the ruler of the house. As a tortie, she is equal amounts affectionate and feisty, and both of those at 100%. She came to us at only 3 days old, so we got to raise her as a bottle baby...

My favorite part of caring for my fur babies is learning how each of them communicates, understanding their needs, and then doing my best to meet those needs in a way that makes them feel safe and loved.

I've been pet-sitting regularly for about 7 years now. I have experience raising neonatal bottle babies, caring for special needs cats, as well as giving medication. I've had clients describe me as having an innate ability and intuition to understand animals and what they're trying to communicate.

I'm currently working part-time at a gym, and in my free time, I enjoy training MMA, Muay Thai, and Jiu Jitsu, doing puzzles, and just existing outdoors.

I'm fully vaccinated and boosted, and I'll be happy to wear a mask in your home if required.

I'm available for both drop-ins, as well as overnight stays. I can't wait to meet your cats! :)

Melanie has watched my cat a few times over the years and always does an amazing job! She always sends updates and lots of super cute pictures/videos. I had to extend my reservation during this trip by a day and she was happy to accommodate the change. I'm always a little nervous to be away from my kitty since she has some health issues, but I know she is in good hands with Melanie!

Melanie has been taking care of my cats for a few years now and always does a great job with them. From playtime, to food for the picky cat, to medications - I feel very comfortable leaving the care of my cats to Melanie.

Melanie was so thoughtful and attentive to our cat while we were away. She texted us every time she arrived, giving us tons of updates! Always so communicative, and sending pictures to keep us close to our cat! Would highly recommend Melanie to anyone looking for a reliable and considerate cat sitter!

Melanie did an amazing job with our difficult kitties. She came to visit a number of times to help our cats get acquainted, as previous sitters struggled and were ultimately not able to medicate our cat as needed. After several sessions our shy cat came out to socialize with Melanie and our grumpy cat allowed himself to be medicated just like we were doing it ourselves. My wife and I were able to take a trip out of town together for the first time ever thanks to Melanie!

Melanie was wonderful! My shy kitty warmed-up to her quickly, which is both unusual and a very good sign. The updates and photos were done in a way that was both transparent and reassuring.

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.

Fort Collins 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!
