Hi! I am Estrella Hernandez; I am bilingual in English and Spanish and have a lot of experience caring for cats as I have three of my own! But specially because I worked at an animal shelter caring for cats and dogs.

I worked mostly with the sick cats, giving them authorized medication, cleaning them and their kennels and doing visits with them. I handled spicy kitties, and I'm not afraid to get to know them and earn their trust!

Outside of cat sitting, I have a job in Longmont where I am mainly located but I am happy to go to nearby towns :)

Learn More About Estrella

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I really enjoy when kitties warm up to me and let me play with them. It's always rewarding seeing the shy kitties come out of their shell and want to become friends \⁠(⁠^⁠o⁠^⁠)⁠/

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have three cats of my own. A white one named Shishiky that's 7 years old, a grey tabby called Chuquita that's 5 years old, and a black one called Batman that's 3 years old.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I usually like to get to know the new cat parents during the meet and greets. This time lets me ask the necessary questions about the care of the the kitties and answer any questions/concerns the parents might have.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

The safety of the kitties is always my top priority when working with them. The first day of the visits I like to do a walk through the house to see if there are any potential concerns such as open windows or fragile things on the counters. If I do encounter such concerns, I make sure to inform the parents and wait on the next action they would want me to take. In the case that I don't hear back from the parents during the visit I make sure to take care of the more hazardous concerns, such as open windows.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toy is a classic small mice plushie for cats that love fetch and string toys of any kind!

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I usually introduce myself with a treat, if they take the treat then I give them more. Once I see they are less anxious I slowly introduce a finger to see if they want to smell it. I usually try to give the cat as much space as possible in order for them to not feel cornered and trapped. If they don't smell my finger or accept pets under the chin, then I take that as a sign of them wanting space from me.

Estrella is always so kind and nurturing to our cats whenever she visits! this is our Second time with her and she sends so many adorable photos of our babies and even got our shy boy out of his shell! She is very sweet and always focuses on the safety of the cats with her updates and making sure they eat before leaving.

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.

Longmont cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $28.00. 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!
