I'm Gunhild | Cat Sitting in Stamford, CT
My name is Gunhild Jensen, and I am originally from Denmark. I grew up in the countryside and spent my summers on my grandparents' farm, where my favorite activity was to sleep in the hayloft in the barn along with all the barn cats. I cannot remember a time in my life when I did not have at least one feline friend. My three current cats are Simba, a 12-year-old Maine Coon mix, Stella, a sweet 2-year-old calico, and Sheba, a playful little lady with a squirrel-like tail. Simba immigrated with me from Denmark and has his own passport, while Stella and Sheba are both rescue cats from shelters here in America. I work as a foreign language teacher but also completed my education as a certified Cat Behaviorist in 2018. A cat behaviorist helps cat owners fix any behavior problems their cats might have.

Gunhild's Reviews
Myra
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
Marisa
This was our second time using Gunhild to cat sit our senior cat, Marcello, and she was was wonderful (again!). Highly recommend her.
Jd
Gunhild is a very attentive and responsive cat sitter. Our cats barely noticed we were gone, and were in good spirits and well cared for upon our return. Prompt messaging, clear communication, an overall great experience.
Shikha
Gunhild is reliable and a kind companion for my cat when I’m away. She is attentive and thoughtful!
Marisa
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Stamford cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $31.00. 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.
