I'm Stephanie
Cat Sitting in East Hartford, CT
My name is Stephanie, and I’m Central CT’s cuddly cat sitter! I live with four fabulous felines—one Maine Coon and three domestic shorthairs. I was lucky enough to rescue a pregnant cat and help foster and adopt out her kittens. Our home runs on a tight feeding schedule, and the cats love playtime with their pittie sister, Sasha.

Experience
I’ve been around cats my whole life, but I’ve had the joy of owning my own for the past four years. I also volunteer at the FACT ferret shelter, where I help with medications, cleanups, and playtime... Hey Cat Family!

Learn More About Stephanie
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have 4! Three queens and one king. The purrrfect combo! Their names are; Pietro, Luna, Mew and Freya.
What is your favorite cat toy?
My favorite is the wands with really long strings so i can run around with them. Another favorite is the laser pointer.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I normally give them their space until they're ready to sniff me and say hello. If the cat parent allows me to, I'll try to win their heart over using the best love language there is... TREATS!

As soon as we met Stephanie we felt at ease knowing our fur-babies were in good hands. She asked questions about their routines and took notes of details. She sent us pictures and videos of them; and gave needed scheduled medications to one of our boys. Strongly recommend her!

Stephanie was terrific. Her love for cats is obvious- and visa versa. My skittish cat, Izzy, who doesn’t engage with anyone except family, came out to play with her. Stephanie carefully took notes on our cat care routine at a “meet & greet” and sent lots of photos during the week. She also thoughtfully brought in mail and packages and let us know about a fan that had been left on. I will absolutely use Stephanie again. I felt very comfortable knowing my kitties were in her care.

Thanks for trusting me! I loved caring for your home and crew. Seeing Izzy play was the best part. I’m a plant mom too, so I'd happily help with your beautiful plants. Can’t wait till next time!

Stephanie did a wonderful job helping my mom administer medication for my elderly special needs cat while we were away. she did a phenomenal job and my mom definitely appropriated the help. my mom even said lets add her to our list of "kitty people". Excellent communication and flexibility when we almost had to change plans when he was hiding too much. overall I would give Stephanie 10 stars if I could 😻

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.
East Hartford 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!

My job requires me to travel sometimes and Stephanie is always my go to cat sitter. She is attentive to detail, always sends photos and is quick to respond. My cats can be a handful when I am not home and move stuff around and Stephanie always make sure everything is in order before leaving, she also takes time to play with them in every visit she is the best!
