Hi!

I’m Emily, I have one 4-year old cat named Eggy who is the light of my life. He’s a silly cuddle bug and I’m so grateful to have him. I work from home five days a week and have some time available to pet sit for other cat lovers. I’ve had Eggy since he was a baby, but I’ve been around cats and animals all throughout my life and enjoy being with them. I have also interacted with all different personality-types when it comes to cats, and I feel comfortable doing so. In my free time, I read, workout, and make pottery. 😊

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 was absolutely wonderful! Very sweet and patient with my initially shy and timid kitty who needs meds daily but can be quite resistant to the process of getting them. She did a great job communicating and creatively problem solving issues that came up with that, to ensure he got his meds, for which I was very grateful. She also played with both of my kitties and I could tell they felt loved in the adorable pictures she sent of them during her visits :) Overall I felt like they were well cared for and in good hands, and I really appreciated her being there for them while I was out of town! 5/5⭐️🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

I’m so grateful for the wonderful care my cats received while I was away! Emily was very attentive and responsive, sending daily photo updates and making sure my chronically ill cat received her daily inhaler. It was good to know my kitties were well cared for while I was out of town, I would recommend Emily to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

Emily was great! she was in regular communication with us for updates on her visits, and our two boys who are rather picky loved her. Got regular photo updates of their play time and everyone had a blast with 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.

Branford cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $27.00. 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!
