What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I’ve been a professional cat sitter since 2007. Owned a pet sitting company in Seattle for 11 years. Moved back to Fort Collins in 2022 and have cat sat here since then.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Every kitty is different and I enjoy getting to know them and what their needs are. The super shy kitties that finally warm up are some of my favorites!
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
Making sure all doors and windows are shut/locked. Sometimes clients leave in a hurry and doors are unlocked. So I always check them all. For cat safety making sure no flowers or plants out that are poisonous. Had a client leave lilies on counter. Also make sure nothing left out they can knock over and break.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes, I am from Fort Collins and all my family lives around the area, so all holidays I’ll be in town.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Don’t push them or rush them to warm up. I remain calm and let them come to me. Sometimes washing hands with clients soap works, it gives them a familiar smell. But mostly calm, quiet and don’t rush.

Kelly did an excellent job of keeping our cat happy while we were away and keeping us informed. Our cat is usually upset with us when we return from a trip, but not when Kelly watched him. He barely noticed that we were back home.

This was the first time Kelly took care of my cat Jack. Jack is introverted so she did a great job of giving him space and allowed him to come out when he was ready. I really appreciated her patience! He was relaxed and happy when I got home. He's looking forward to seeing Kelly again.

This was the first time I had a longer than 4 day trip and Kelly was exceptional in making sure my cats were taken care of and went out of her way to make sure their needs were addressed.

Kelly was simply awesome. This was our first time to "hire" a petsitter and I was verry anxious. Meeting Kelly made us so much more comfortable. I'm a veterinarian, and Kelly clearly has knowledge, experience, and is very observant and aware of any little changes in the kitties. This impression proved to be accurate; she proactively looked for any problems, and gave them both personal attention. She petted, brushed, and played with them. She went above and beyond cleaning their messy areas, sent cute pictures, and kept us fully updated. One of our kitties has health issues, and I feel comfortable leaving him in her care. We are hoping she's available for future trips! 6 stars

Kelly was exactly what I expected when she arrived, based on the great reviews she already had. Carl is very shy and meeting new people is difficult for him. When she came for the meet and greet, she whispered magic at him, and he was letting her pet him. When we were gone, we got the best photos of him and fantastic updates that included all the things she did for him and his behavior and disposition during the visit. I had peace of mind during my vacation. Thanks, Kelly!!

Kelly is simply awesome. I trust her to take fabulous care of my kitties, and Randy and Lilli are comfortable with her. Kelly is so observant and spends time making sure they are ok and everything is clean. I am so much happier with her care than with boarding them anywhere! Thanks!

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!

Kelly went above and beyond, in taking care of my little Luna Bear when I had to leave town on sudden notice around the holidays. I really appreciated her flexibility and her willingness to adjust her schedule to give Luna the extra time and care she needed! Thank you so much, Kelly!!

Kelly did such a good job of caring for my cat Sam! She thought of details related to his care that didn't even occur to me. Her daily check-ins were helpful, detailed and reassuring. I would definitely recommend her!

Kelly is great! Very kind and super responsive. Showed up when asked and followed all instructions. My normally picky cat even allowed Kelly to play with her a little which says wonders!

Kelly was so nice and responsive. She took great care of my two spoiled kitties, twice a day, and they were happy and contented when I came back after 6 days away. I appreciated the time she took to play with them. That was the best!

I was thrilled to see Kelly V on Meowtel; she'd watched my cats previously when she owned Puget Pets. Kelly did a wonderful job with my diabetic cat Mugsy and my other two cats. She texted me his blood glucose numbers and kept in in close contact with me while I was away working at a convention in Anaheim. After two and a half years of not traveling for work, I was nervous about leaving my special needs cat for a week but Kelly made sure that they were well taken care of. Very happy to recommend her!

I am new to the Seattle area and was having difficulty in finding a cat sitter who would come to my apartment in the downtown area. Kelly had no problem coming here which was the first step in alleviating my anxiety of leaving my kitty in a new city, with a new sitter. Kelly was in time for the Meet and Greet and asked lots of questions to get to know my cat. Ice the sitting gig began Kelly connected with my cat (who is actually skittish around most people) and y the end he would be greeting Kelly by the door. I received updates and photos during every visit which I appreciate and was the final step in reducing my cat parent anxiety. I already booked Kelly for another visit and will definitely refer her to anyone looking for a cat sitter.

Kelly is absolutely great! Kelly took very good care of our cats, one of whom has a lot of medical issues and needs reliable, consistent feeding and care. I felt very at ease while Kelly was watching them. I highly recommend Kelly for your pet sitting needs! We will definitely be repeat clients.

Kelly was great with my cat! She showed up on time to feed him and give him his insulin shot. She took pictures and shared them with me during her stay with my cat. I highly recommend Kelly and I will definitely use Kelly again!
