I'm Deeksha
Cat Sitting in Glastonbury, CT
I live in Glastonbury, CT and work full time as a member of an Animal Conservation and Sanctuary Start Up! During any free time I like to read or walk. For the time being I have devoted myself to helping out by cat sitting and making sure kitties are healthy and happy! I am available to cat-sit during the day, evenings, and weekends. my schedule is flexible so I am happy to discuss your needs! I am very mindful of COVID safety procedures and am fully vaccinated, double boosted. I have a car so I don’t mind going to nearby towns (Manchester, Wethersfield, Hartford, etc.) and neighborhoods if anyone is interested in having a cat sitter! I believe plants also deserve attention and taking care so please don’t hesitate if you’d like me to look after them as well :)
Learn More About Deeksha
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Seeing kitties feeling happy and safe always brings a smile to my face!
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
By always checking in with the cats first if they’d like to be approached, as well as doing a thorough run down with their parents how they’d like to be treated. I also treat any home as I would my own, with responsibility, care, and respect. This means checking in on how parents would like me to provide the home’s upkeep while they are gone.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes! I usually don’t travel on holidays and am available.

This was my first time using a cat sitting service and Deeksha went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. She Immediately sent me text messages every time she fed my cat with updates about the wet and dry food and water consumption. She meticulously cleaned the litter as well. I requested that she take a picture of my cat each time she visited to ensure she was OK and she did that as well. Super pleasant to work with and responsive. I highly recommend Deeksha!! :-)

Deeksha was WONDERFUL! She followed every instruction I gave her and went above and beyond for our sweet Willow. This was the first time my husband and I left Willow her for an extended period of time and we were a bit nervous to do so. However, as soon as we met with Deeksha, our worries went away! She showed up on time every day and always made sure to leave us with the longest update letting us know how everything went - in addition to many photos which I always appreciate 😹. We absolutely plan to rebook Deeksha for any upcoming travels!

Deeksha is absolutely amazing! She took care of my kitty so well and sent great updates that i appreciated so much! She also went above and beyond when she found that my cat had been in an under the sink cabinet to make sure that she hadn't eaten anything by checking to see if anything had holes in it! She is also a super kind person and I highly recomend her!

Our first time leaving Stella at home while we traveled. Deeksha was the best! Daily updates with photos of Stella in all of her glory. We will definitely call on Deeksha again when we need to leave Stella at home, knowing Stella will be having the best of care.

I did have a bit of a rough start on day 1 over a miscommunication regarding timing of the visitation but even though it was a holiday weekend Meowtel was extremely helpful in getting the situation resolved. Overall Deeksha did exactly what I requested which was visit my cat 1X a day and refilled his food. That being said, I do wish the timing of the visits were more consistent as one day the visit was in the morning and the next day it was after 5pm. However, this is something I now know for the future and overall I really did prefer this service rather than boarding my cat.

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.
Glastonbury cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!

Deeksha did a wonderful job taking care of our two kitties while we were away for the weekend. She left wonderful, detailed messages for us and lots of pictures that made us feel so safe that our kitties were in good hands. It’s very clear that Deeksha really loves cats, & our kitties loved her.

This is our second time having Deeksha care for our beloved cat, Stella, while we were away. We knew from prior experience that Stella would be well cared for and that, indeed, was the case.Daily updates and many photos let us know Stella was being treated like the princess she thinks she is!

This was my first time using the app and first time working with Deeksha. We met up before my vacation so she could meet my kit. She was thorough which I appreciated. Throughout the week I received regular updates and pictures. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking!
