I'm Sarah
Cat Sitting in Vernon Rockville, CT
I offer a lot of patience, gentleness and understanding, because every cat is different. Some can be very outgoing and ready to be friends immediately, while others need time to warm up and prefer to interact on their own terms. I always pay close attention to their body language, and never force interaction. My goal is to make sure that every cat in my care feels safe, comfortable, respected, and cared for in the way that works best for them... Hi, I'm Sarah! Cats have always been in my life, I don't think I've ever been without a feline friend. I deeply understand and respect their complex, independent personalities, and I believe befriending them is about meeting them where they are. Earning a cat's trust is truly a badge of honor.
I offer a lot of patience, gentleness and understanding, because every cat is different. Some can be very outgoing and ready to be friends immediately, while others need time to warm up and prefer to interact on their own terms. I always pay close attention to their body language, and never force interaction. My goal is to make sure that every cat in my care feels safe, comfortable, respected, and cared for in the way that works best for them.
I have extensive experience caring for cats of all ages, including ferals and former ferals, as well as cats who have a variety of health conditions like diabetes and asthma. I am comfortable administering medication, and have had a lot of success with even the more challenging patients. I'm also very attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, litter box habits, and overall demeanor, and I take these all very seriously. Cats are notorious at masking any health issues, and I am able to read these shifts in behavior.
I've also had the honor of providing end-of-life care. Making sure these friends have had a safe, calm, respectful and dignified transition is something I consider to be a privilege.
Whether your cat wants a playmate, someone to snuggle with, or someone to respect their space while you're away, I am happy to be the person to meet them exactly as they are.
Learn More About Sarah
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I’ve been caring for cats all my life, but watching other’s cats for the last 20 years. I’ve cared for cats at all stages, from kittens to elders, to ferals and cats who consider themselves your best friend. I also have a lot of experience with cats with medical conditions, and am very comfortable providing medication and attentive care for these individuals.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
The safety and security of both pets and the home are always top priority. I keep a keen eye on my pet friend’s eating and potty habits, and I’m adept at understanding cat body language (they’re very good at hiding when they don’t feel well, and I can pick up on subtle signs). Equally, I always make sure the home is well cared for. I never want my clients to come home to a mess, or even know someone was staying in their home. I respect the privacy of each one of my clients, safeguarding the home as if it were my own during my stay.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
These types of bookings are where my talents can shine. I give cats who are more timid and anxious a lot of space and patience, but also a calm, quiet presence to provide a sense of safety. I don’t try to “fix” them. I don’t try and force interaction. I keep my voice low and soothing, minimal eye contact, and slow movement. I have gotten more timid cats to really open up and feel comfortable in my presence.

Vernon Rockville 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 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 Meet & Greet!
