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

My cat sitting experience to date has been limited to friends and family, but has spanned the length of two decades. Over this course of time, I have taken care and developed a relationship with over a dozen different cats. Now, I have two kittens of my own to build strong relationship with

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Feline energy. It's bizarre to say, but being in the presence of a cat has a particularly calming zen sensation, even amidst times of play. Cats are my spiritual being and enjoy the opportunity to engage with any and all felines.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I currently have two five-month old kittens, Skaara and Ronon. Skaara is an energetic, pint-size calico princess. Her sister, Ronon, is the vocalist of the two. If she's hungry, MEOW; if she's bored, MEOW... She doesn't believe in mystery. They're both the perfect blend of cuddle and zoomie ❤️

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

Ask questions. The more questions you ask about your sitter's approaches and experience, the more comfortable you'll become in trusting this person with your cat. And if said sitter isn't asking just as many questions about your cats--they are just not the one.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I am typically available during most holidays.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My best cat play experiences involve either a blanket monster or a stick. As blanket monster wrestling doesn't count as a "toy," Stick is a very strong second. Whether it's a feather or a mouse or a bell, Stick is a perfect, foolproof floof play session.

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

The most important mindsets to have when handling anxious or timid cats are boundaries, patience, positivity. Never push the cat's boundaries by forcibly trying to get closer. Patiently sit a distance away and let it come to you, or let it get to it's dinner or water dish uninhibited. Observing with a positive disposition adds to the situational energy that can help to put the cat at ease and develop trust and comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Manchester 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.
