Cat Sitting in Hamden, CT

Hi, I'm Alicia! I've always believed that animals have a way of finding the people they're meant to meet, and I feel incredibly lucky whenever I get to earn a cat's trust.

As a cat mom myself, I understand that every cat has a unique personality. Some are playful, some are shy, and some simply want a quiet companion while you're away. I take the time to learn their routine, respect their boundaries, and care for them in a way that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and loved...
Hi, I'm Alicia! I've always believed that animals have a way of finding the people they're meant to meet, and I feel incredibly lucky whenever I get to earn a cat's trust.

As a cat mom myself, I understand that every cat has a unique personality. Some are playful, some are shy, and some simply want a quiet companion while you're away. I take the time to learn their routine, respect their boundaries, and care for them in a way that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

As a former Emergency Veterinary Technician, I cared for cats during some of their most vulnerable moments. That experience taught me to stay calm under pressure, recognize subtle changes in behavior, administer medications, and provide compassionate care tailored to each cat's individual needs.

When you're away, my goal is to make your cat feel as relaxed as possible while giving you peace of mind through thoughtful updates and plenty of photos. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing a cat become more comfortable with each visit.

I look forward to meeting you and your feline family and caring for them as if they were my own.

Learn More About Alicia

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is getting to know each cat's unique personality and earning their trust over time. It's incredibly rewarding to provide a calm, loving presence while giving cat parents peace of mind that their furry family member is in good hands.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I have two cats of my own, Josie and Ranger. Josie is my sweet calico who has been part of my family for years, and Ranger is my newest addition. I love getting to know their unique personalities and seeing the bond they continue to build.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toys are wand toys because I love seeing cats get excited and engage their natural hunting instincts. I also love simple toys like springs and crinkle balls because they keep cats entertained and curious.

Alicia was a phenomenal sitter for my cat, Polly. This was my first time leaving Polly in the care of another person and I was extremely nervous about how she (Polly) would be while I was away. She gets oral liquid medication twice per day and is on a wet food only food plan. Alicia did twice daily visits for the week I was away and sent photo updates after each visit. I feel confident in saying that Polly was left in good hands while I was away and would definitely recommend Alicia to any nervous cat parents looking to make sure their loved one is left in the hands of a competent and responsible sitter.

Alicia went above and beyond the call of duty trying to befriend our timid cat, and she succeeded! Her messages and videos were witty. We really appreciated her excellent care.

Alicia is wonderful! She sends daily updates & photos of the cats. My shy cat came out and she was able to give him his med. This is the third time that she has watched my fur babies.

Alicia was fantastic with our senior cat who required medication and special food. This was our first time using a pet sitting service, and she shared daily updates and pictures which put our mind at ease! Her updates were thorough and descriptive. I would absolutely recommend Alicia and would use her services again! Thank for taking such good care of our kitty, Alicia!

Alicia did great with my very grumble elderly cat! I was nervous about leaving her for the first time after she got diagnosed with CKD and started needing daily fluids, but Alicia took great care of her and made sure I got constant updates. I will definitely book with her again!

Alicia watched our two geriatric cats who both require medications daily. One has oral medications and one has injectable medications and Alicia was able to give all medications without issues. Both cats were very happy being looked after by Alicia and It was a great relief to us to know that they were taken care of while we were gone.

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.

Hamden cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. 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!
