Learn More About Xiao

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

I’ve been cat sitting for 5 years now, mostly for friends cats. I’ve done daily visit as well as sleepovers.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

Typically I will reach out first to get to know the parent and ask about their cat/cats. I’ll ask about any allergies or medication they need to take. I’ll ask about access to the home as well.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toy is a twist tie tied to a stick with fishing line. Even the laziest cat goes crazy for this makeshift toy.

It was our first time using Meowtel and we're so happy we booked with Xiao! She spent quality time playing with our cats and giving them treats and just making sure they had good company whilst we were away for the weekend. We also loved that she kept us updated and shared lots of photos from her visit. We'll definitely be booking with Xiao again in the future.

Xiao was very responsive and communicative, and my kitty had a great time with her! She also cleaned the feeder, litter box, etc. very well. I received photo and video updates everyday while I was away so I knew she was in good hands :) would definitely have Xiao watch my cat in the future!!

Xiao was amazing! She experienced a glitch getting into my bldg. the first night we were out of state, but she was determined and finally got in. She did everything just as I requested. She sent lots of pics and videos. She was so loving with my kitten that I couldn't leave her with anyone else in the future. I will always ask for Xiao and I highly recommend her!

Xiao is a loving cat-mom to her two boys but also to all of the cats in her life, she leads with love and care and prioritizes their needs. She’s pet sit for me and I have also referred her to my friends and family who have all enjoyed the time their cats spent with Xiao, without being concerned, she kept in communication and provided updates as needed. Just so reliable to have someone to turn to.

Frequently Asked Questions

New Haven cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $27.00. 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.
