Learn More About Ava

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

I have cat sat for friends and family for many many years now; some paid, some not. I really love cats and cats seem to become comfortable around me very quickly. :)

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Making sure the kitties are safe and secure while their owners are away. Also just meeting new cats. Every cat seems to have their own unique personality and it’s fun to see that as they get more comfortable around me.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have an older girl named Anna, an orange cat named Henry, and an young cat named Daisy. Anna and Daisy are tabbies, but Daisy is a silver tabby and Anna is a brown tabby.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Definitely do a meet and greet before finalizing the reservation! That way you can be sure of your cat sitter and it will give you peace of mind. Meet and Greets are complementary!

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

Getting a feel for their expectations and what they value most in regards to how their fur baby is taken care of. Reassuring them that I will care for their cat(s) like they are my own. Then meeting the cat(s) so the kitties can see me and the owner in the same place and feel somewhat accepting of me.

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

When I arrive, I find the cats wherever they are. I have to have eyes on the cat. I’ll take a picture in case the owner wants one. I go around and make sure all doors and windows are secure and locked. Before I leave, I make sure to visit with the cat again (even if I just saw them 10 minutes prior) and say goodbye.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I can come by during the holidays. I wouldn’t be able to stay the whole day, but I can usually stop by for a few hours.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Lasers. 100%. Most cats will go absolutely bonkers for that red light and it’s hilarious! After that, probably crumpled pieces of paper. My cats can’t get enough of the crumple balls of paper I throw for them. :)

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

Leave them alone! Make sure that they are safe and healthy and just let them be. As long as I can see that nothing is wrong (except that they don’t want me around haha), then they’re fine. I’ll clean the litter box, change water, put food out, etc, as normal.

Ava was great!! I have already used her a second time, will continue to use her in the future and have started recommending her to my friends in the area. She made sure to give me regular updates and sent me photos with every visit of my kittens playing and being cute. They don’t have too many needs but she took their care instructions very seriously and left the house locked and undisturbed. Definitely recommend ❤️

Ava is a caring and responsible cat sitter. She was wonderful with our cat, Chatouille, who needs lots of affection and play time. WHen we returned, from our trip, Chatouille was well-groomed and calm. When Ava came back to drop off our house key, Chatouille came right to her and purred. It was clear she was very well taken of, and we highly recommend Ava to other cat owners.

Ava went above and beyond when my cat went missing due to another cat sitter’s mistake. She helped find her and provided me with updates during the process. I am so grateful to her and her years and years of experience in the quirks and mysteries of cats!

Ava has watched my cats for five years. She in that time has become like family. No better sitter out there.

Ava is compassionate and kind; I will only trust her into my home while I'm away to take care of my 2 fur babies. Highly trustworthy who's always punctual. She has great communication skills and perfectly understands precise instructions to follow. Ava provides cute photo updates, which just shows her genuine, thoughtful nature that I adore about her. I'm confident I'm coming back to a clean, safe, happy home.

Frequently Asked Questions

East Haven 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.
