Learn More About Monique
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Currently we have 3 boys! Salem is a quiet and timid void who we got as a 6 week old kitten. MooShu is a large grey tabby who we got at 8 weeks and is outgoing with a personality as big as he is. Cheddar we got at 5 months old and he is an orange tabby who is still looking for his single brain cell. They are all rescues who needed a good home- and boy did they get that!
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
I like to interview the new sitter and see how they interact with the cats as well as me. Our cats love their cat sitters, they come to them and ask to play or for some scratches even when I am home. To me if the cat likes the sitter it is a big bonus and I don’t worry as much when we are away.
Are you usually available during holidays?
My family and I do not travel during holidays so I am always around and happy to take on sitting jobs during the holidays.

My first booking was Meowtel was an enormous success, thanks to Monique. Our initial meeting put my mind immediately at ease. It was obvious Monique knows cats and all their quirks! While we were away, she sent daily photos and updates. We returned home to find everything calm, tidy, and most importantly, to happy cats! I highly recommend Monqiue to look after your fur babies.

Monique is an absolute delight and a real pleasure to work with. You might think you’re giving your cats the best life ever until you meet Monique who couldn’t possibly be more passionate about felines. You could not leave your cats in better hands!

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.
Fairfield 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!
