Being a cat lover to the core, I pride myself on giving your furry buddies all the TLC they need. From whipping up DIY toys out of cardboard and pipe cleaners to keeping their litter boxes squeaky clean, I've got it covered.

I'm usually in bed early and rise early so if you reach out after 9 or 10pm, I likely won't respond until the morning. But if you ever need a late-night buddy for your cats, just give me a shout! I'm all about being flexible and making sure your fur babies are happy and comfy, no matter the hour. Your cats' happiness is my ultimate goal, and I'll go above and beyond to make sure they feel right at home -- when at home.

For those considering an overnight stay, I totally get that inviting someone new into your home can feel a bit uneasy. But rest assured, your comfort and hygiene are top of mind for me. I'm meticulous about cleanliness and respect your space as if it were my own. Your peace of mind is paramount, and I'm committed to ensuring you feel completely at ease while I'm caring for your beloved furry friends.

Learn More About Michael

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Right now I'm fostering an orange kitten named Crookshanks! We had just watched all the Harry Potter's the week before getting him and felt it was the purrfect name for a boy orange kitten.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yeah I generally don't travel much *on* holidays, I like to celebrate before or after.

What is your favorite cat toy?

When I moved I had a ton of left over U-Haul boxes and we cut holes in them and created tunnels and an obstacle course! The cats love them to both relax and nap but also to play around in.

Michael was terrific in all ways. My Georgia is shy and sometimes nervous (big move this year), but she was great with Michael. He was five stars about communications, about doing everything the way I do, about sending photos and keeping me up to date, and, most importantly, Georgia seemed to peg him as a trustworthy cat guy from Day 1. I appreciate being able to relax and not be worried. excellent service!

I had a wonderful experience with Michael looking after my two cats while I was on a trip. He updated me regularly with photos and videos. He went above and beyond to take care of my fur babies. He even vacuumed my home before I got back!!! I definitely would recommend Michael.

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 $29.00. 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!
