Learn More About Emily

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I do! I have one grey and white cat named Eggy. I’ve had him since he was a baby (he’s 4 now) and I absolutely love spending time with him.

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

I’d first like to meet the cat parent and their cat(s), just to establish a better idea of what the cats are like and their needs. I think it’s way easier to talk in person for the initial meeting, it gives me a better idea of what to expect.

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

I had a cat growing up that unfortunately had a very traumatic background when my family took her in. She was very timid, and really only stayed in her safe spaces in our home. She did have favorite toys however, and would come out to play with them as soon as she heard the first jingle. I think patience, a calm demeanor, and persistence goes a long way.

Emily

Emily is hands-down the best cat sitter you could ask for—her warmth, dependability, and true love for cats make her a gem. I’ve known her for ten years, and her knack for caring shines through every time. When she watched my cat, Lola, for a week while I was away, I saw just how amazing she is. Lola’s super picky and shy, but Emily got her purring in no time. She sent me constant photos and videos—Lola napping in a sunny spot, chasing her feather toy, or even just staring at Emily like they were best buds. On top of that, Emily left me a detailed journal, jotting down Lola’s daily routine: what she ate, how she played, even her quirky moments like batting at a stray sock. When Lola needed her meds for a minor ear issue, Emily handled it like a pro, noting every dose in the journal so I knew everything was on track. Her caring nature and eye for detail are what make her special. She’d text me little updates, like how Lola finally warmed up to a new treat, which kept me totally at ease. As a cat mom to her own cat, Egg, Emily gets what pets need—routine, love, and attention. Her teaching background also makes her great at communicating, always keeping me in the loop clearly and thoughtfully. Emily’s the kind of sitter who treats your pet like her own, and I’d trust her with Lola any day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Branford cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $26.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
