Cat Sitting in Louisville, CO

Hey all! My name is Ema and I am a self proclaimed Crazy Cat Lady in Louisville, CO. I’ve had a love for them since a young age when I lived in Nebraska. We had 20+ barn cats running around our farm with new kittens being born every spring/summer. When I moved out for college, I had 2 cats and a roommate with 2 of her own. One of our favorite activities was volunteering at the animal shelter and getting to play with all the kitties. It was hard not to bring them all home! Now at 36, I have one cat named Olivander and a 3 year old baby boy... Hey all! My name is Ema and I am a self proclaimed Crazy Cat Lady in Louisville, CO. I’ve had a love for them since a young age when I lived in Nebraska. We had 20+ barn cats running around our farm with new kittens being born every spring/summer. When I moved out for college, I had 2 cats and a roommate with 2 of her own. One of our favorite activities was volunteering at the animal shelter and getting to play with all the kitties. It was hard not to bring them all home! Now at 36, I have one cat named Olivander and a 3 year old baby boy. 😊

I have been around all kinds of cats of different breeds and personalities. Shy cats and playful cats, lazy cats, and ones that can’t shut off the zoomies! From the cuddly cuties who love to snuggle to the equally adorable “don’t you dare touch me until I touch you first” kitties, I’ve seen it all, and I still can’t wait to meet more!

Thank you for considering me to sit for you and your little fur baby! 😻

**COVID precautions: I am fully vaccinated and can wear a mask upon request. I always practice good hygiene and carry hand sanitizer with me at all times.

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been cat sitting practically my whole life! But started with Meowtel almost 4 years ago and it has been great!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Getting to meet lots of new kitty friends and their loving parents. It makes me so happy to give my clients peace of mind while away knowing their babies are in good hands. Oh, and of course, all the sweet cuddles! 🥰

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

I always close all doors securely when entering a home, and take note of the temperature. If it is too hot or cold, I’ll notify the owner in case they want me to adjust the temperature. I always take a look around the home in case of any fire hazards, leaks, or any other issue that might put the kitties in danger. And of course, I triple check all doors are secured and locked when I leave.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! Holidays are busy travel time for most, but we don’t travel much so I am available almost all holidays!

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

Give them their space! It is their home and I am just there to ensure they have what they need. I never try to force myself into a kitty who is timid and I always allow them to come to me in their own time. Sometimes they don’t, and that’s ok! As long as they are comfortable and have what they need.

I was worried about my cat as he had stomach upset the morning of my trip, but I let Ema know what was going on and she gave me confidence in her ability to handle the situation for me. Turned out that Boots was fine but I am grateful for Ema's care, photos, and updates. And my other cat - who usually hides when visitors come - followed Ema around as Ema did the cat chores! Thanks, Ema

Ema went above and beyond watching our two cats for 9 days while we were overseas. Between litter box malfunctions and poop clean up, Ema never failed to provide detailed updates and photos of our guys, all with an upbeat and positive attitude. I felt so comfortable and knew that our kitties were in good hands.

Ema is honest and transparent in her approach and care. She’s very timely and responsive in her updates. She attended to my cat with respect, patience, and flexibility, I truly appreciated her support when my husband and I were away. My cat is tricky and she understood how to appropriately navigate her. ❤️

I am so grateful for Ema. We were able to go on a 2 week vacation without stressing about how our cats would be. they are both just one year old and it was our first big trip away. Ema visited every day and did the kitty litter and food, water and played and snuggled. she sent photos and updates and made us feel very secure that all was well. I highly recommend her!

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.

Louisville 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!
