Learn More About Emily

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is getting to know each cat's unique personality. I love earning the trust of shy cats, playing with energetic ones, and making sure every cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. It's rewarding to help keep their routine consistent and give pet parents peace of mind through regular updates and photos, knowing their cats are happy and well cared for.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two fur babies myself, a little girl named Rhubarb and a little boy named Beans. They are my entire world :)

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

When caring for timid or anxious cats, I always let them set the pace. I approach them calmly, speak softly, and respect their personal space instead of forcing interaction. I do my best to keep their routine consistent, since familiar schedules can help them feel more secure. If a cat prefers to hide, I make sure they have everything they need and give them time to become comfortable on their own terms. My goal is to create a calm, stress-free environment where they can feel safe, and I celebrate every small sign of trust, whether it's coming out for a treat, playing, or simply relaxing while I'm nearby.

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.

New Haven 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!
