I'm Stephanie
Cat Sitting in Middlebury, CT
I'm a registered nurse, so caring, patience, trust and clear communication are all in my nature... I have cared for cats my entire life. I truly love all animals, but cats have always held a special place in my heart. I have one 13 year old cat, Sydney, that I adopted when she was 3. She is my little fur baby. Growing up, my parents always had at least two cats in our household. All of my family members and close friends share their homes with cats. Not a day goes by without multiple cat pictures being sent my way ! 😁
I'm a registered nurse, so caring, patience, trust and clear communication are all in my nature. I have been pet / cat sitting / house sitting on the side for many years now. I am pet CPR/first aid certified. I can give medications safely to your kitty. I strive towards making sure everything is all set for you cat while you are away; clean litter box, food given per your directions, water changed each visit, clean eating area, quality time spent (playing, petting, brushing, relaxing, of course all on kitty's terms !), and safely inside your home at all times.
I am fully vaccinated and boosted. I will wear my mask or no mask; whatever you feel more comfortable with, just let me know your preference. Hand sanitizer lives in my car :)
Learn More About Stephanie
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love meeting new cats and experiencing their unique personalities ! Cats are my spirit animal, such a joy to care for !
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have one cat, Sydney, who's 17. I adopted her when she was 4 years old. She's my little baby
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
We always have meet and greet at the pet parents home, free of charge ! This allows everyone to make sure it's the right fit and to go over details of the care needed for the cat(s)
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I let them sniff my hand and I see if the cat wants to be pet or not. I never force the cat, I always allow the cat to come to me. I give anxious cats the time and space to warm up to me.

Couldn’t possibly ask for more. Stephanie showed up each day as scheduled and spent time with our 19 year old kitty. She gave her Churru treats, cleaned up litter, food, and any messes, and sent lots and lots of pictures. Just perfect!

Stephanie was wonderful and our two cats are as happy as we are. This was our first time hiring a pet sitter in years, and I was anxious about leaving for several days. Stephanie was patient, communicated often, prompt with her visits, and above all very friendly with us and the kitties. She helped us feel relaxed and enjoy our trip so much more. I would absolutely recommend her and ask her to sit for us in the future!

I’m beyond greatful I found Steph on here. We wouldn’t have been able to go on our family vacation if it wasn’t for her help. I have 4 long haired Persian & Himalayans so they are a bit of high maintenance though super sweet. Steph went above and beyond she made time to brush them and clean little Pearl’s eyes. Aside from feedings 2x/day liter boxes were done. Steph Thank You!!! If you are looking for anyone that is AMAZING with your kitties.... Look no further!

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.
Middlebury cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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!

We are so entirely grateful to have found Stephanie! I can't say enough about how awesome she is; so thoughtful and caring towards our two rescue kitties. Even though one of our cats was "shy" and mainly hid under the bed, Steph was patient and made sure he was fed and looked after. She was even able to find a solution to give him his medicine! I know my kitties felt safe with her and looked forward to the visits each day and we enjoyed seeing the photos Steph sent us during each visit, they made us laugh :). My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our trip, knowing they were in excellent and trustworthy hands. We highly recommend her service and will most definitely call upon her again in the near future. Our warmest thanks...

Stephanie was an absolutely wonderful caretaker for our very shy kitty, Thomas, while we were away. She arrived on time daily, her communication was detailed and timely, and she tended to all of Thomas’ needs. It was easy to see the amount Stephanie truly cares and her compassion for others, including our furry friends!

Stepanie was amazing! Did a pre-visit that covered everything and even took notes. Was on-time for all visits and followed up with text and pictures. Really caring with pets and highly knowledgable. Great experience and I will always use Stephanie for all my pet sitting needs - highly recommended!

Stephanie was outstanding with my two kitties! It was their first time being left alone and Stephanie provided such amazing care, and gave me peace of mind while I was away that my kitties were in great hands! Stephanie went above and beyond with the care she provided including detailed and frequent updates + pictures! I cannot recommend Stephanie enough, she was fabulous!

Stephanie was absolutely the best person we could have found to take care of our cats. Despite them not being the friendliest, they all warmed up to her and she made sure they were more than just fed in our absence. She went above and beyond and is very trustworthy. Highly recommended!
