Cat Sitting in Stamford, CT
Learn More About Gunhild
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Meeting all the cats and having the chance to hang out with them. I enjoy having conversations with cats, and they seem to like talking with me, too!
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
I would tell them to look for a person with a genuine interest in cats. Cats are not low-maintenance pets and deserve expert care, love, and attention.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I never force any interactions with anxious cats and take my time to gain their trust. I will let them know that I am there and allow them to approach me when they are ready.

Gunhild went above and beyond with my cats. our cat firefly needs medicine twice a day, and Gunhild went above and beyond to ensure she received the medicine despite my cat hiding.

Gunhild was fantastic. She made sure to take care of my babies even during the blizzard. She understood the routine needed for my 3 cats and managed their needs well. Highly recommend 😀

Gunhild is very considerate and caring, from both cat and interpersonal perspectives. She is a very responsive, and clear communicator. Her visit timings were consistent, which provided a nice predictable routine for my cat, and followed all care instructions to a T.

I will never use another cat sitter again! From the moment we met Gunhild we knew she was exactly what we were looking for. I have two elderly cats which both require a lot of care so finding help was difficult and nerve wracking. Gunhild made us feel at ease while we were away… she was so knowledgeable and prepared she could take on my 15 year old cats insulin shots and blood sugar monitor all while taking care of my other 19 year old cats pain medications and arthritis therapies. She made sure the litter box and my home were pristine, my babies were fed and happy, and most importantly, they were loved. She even stopped my cats bad habit of scratching the couch…in ONE WEEKEND!!! I am happy to say our relationship developed from a one time cat sitter to a full time cat behaviorist for our furry family and the results have been tremendous!

Gunhild was beyond anything we could have hoped for! Right before leaving on a long vacation, one of our cats had an unexpected medical appointment and our other cat didn't recognize his smell and became hostile. Gunhild understood exactly what to do in this situation and managed their reintroduction while we were gone, sending regular updates and easing our concerns -- our cats were back to being best friends within a few days under her guidance :). Her care and knowledge of cats was so clear, and she is kind, compassionate, curious, and respectful. We feel so lucky to have found her, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing catsitter! Thank you Gunhild!

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.
Stamford 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!

we absolutely adored Gunhild and benefitted from have her watch our cat. we loved that she was a cat behaviorist and got some tips for our cat. She sent us pictures and updates every day which was great. we will definitely be using her again!

Gunhild was wonderful; taking care of my cat on short notice while I was away for work. She provided updates every day and was able to adapt food & play plans based on my cat’s mood. I knew he was in great hands with her!

Gunhild is the best cat-sitter ever. she is literally a cat whisperer. not only did she take amazing care of my cat who had just gone through a huge move, but she gave me very important medical advice (I’m a first-time cat mom). Magic the cat loved Gunhild. he is skittish and shy and he took to her immediately. I got the best pictures and updates to know Magic was doing well while I was away. Both Magic amd I cannot thank Gunhild for all that she did and how lovely she is to work with. thank you again G!

Gunhild was amazing! We were nervous to leave our senior cat by himself - and he's too old to board. We hired Gunhild and she was wonderful! Provided updates every visit, took photos, played with Marcello and gave him his medication.

Gunhild loves cats! and it shows in her care for Leo when we had to travel out of town for a few days. our house alarm controller starting beeping and Gunhild promptly called me to let me know. We appreciate Gunhild’s kindness and care for Leo!

Gunhild is the cat whisperer! She got our two “scaredy cat” cats out and visiting with her within minutes of her first visit!!! I’ve never come home from vacation and seen a look of disappointment from my cats that it was me, and not the cat sitter, until now! She’s the best!!!

Grunhild has cat-sat for us twice, and she is AMAZING with our skittish weirdo, always getting him to come for snuggles and pets. I think at this point he might like her more than he likes me. She is also extremely communicative, sends great updates and photos so we don't worry, and is extremely friendly. It is amazing to know we can go out of town and not have to worry.

Gunhild is amazing. This was the first time I left my kitties alone and she kept me up to date everyday with amazing photos. She even got my shy skittish boy to eat treats out of her hand. I highly recommend Gunhild and will use every time

Grunhild did an AMAZING job building a relationship with our skittish yet needy cat. We were honestly shocked to receive photos from the first day we were gone of him coming and asking for face pets. It was so reassuring to know that he was in good hands.

Fantastic, exceptional, could not ask for better. We had many needs with our pet care, one outdoor cat that needed to stay outdoors, another indoor cat, elderly that is demanding in terms of care. That kitty became ill when we were away and Gunhild went and picked up the medication, administered and even spent extra time with our kitty to make sure she was OK. Unbelievable care. Completely went above and beyond, could not have asked for anyone better.

Gunhild was awesome. I'm fairly sure my cats were disappointed when I walked through the door. She paid special attention to one of my cats who is blind and was excellent administering the various medications. All three of my cats are on the elderly side and she had them playing with toys and interacting. It's great relief to know you friends are being so well treated when you are away and I would highly recommend Gunhild anytime.

So impressed by Gunhild’s commitment to cats & their well-being. My two cats, both seniors, were immediately drawn to her & subsequently very relaxed upon my arrival home. So grateful for Gunhild’s kindness, professionalism & expertise.

Gunhild was great. She followed instructions with food and litter to the T and left my place clean. She sent photos with updates, which really gave me piece of mind, and she genuinely cares about my three furr babies. I’m booking with her again this weekend.

we just moved to a new city and I was worried about finding a new sitter, but having Gunhild take care of my cat while we were out of town was a great experience. I felt like my cat was in great hands! she sent frequent updates with photos and my shy cat loved her!

Wow! I’m so happy I found Gunhild! I just moved to the area and had to go on a work trip. I was beside myself on accommodations for my sweet little cat as I don’t have a network here yet. Gunhild saved the day! My cat loved her and she has an excellent personality and communication. I felt very comfortable handing over my keys and having her look after my baby! 😊
