Cianna's Cat Sitting

I'm Cianna

Cat Sitting in Wilmington, DE

Hi! My name is Cianna. I’ve had cats my entire life, currently have 4 (2 rescues and 2 foster fails lol), and have experience fostering litters and volunteering for cat shelters like Forgotten Cats and Faithful Friends. I have worked with a variety of cats from the ages of 7 weeks to 17 years old! I have been pet and house-sitting since I was a kid and my hours and availability are very open and flexible! I’m located in Wilmington DE and have a car so I’m able to travel and do overnight stays, including those of longer durations. I am also willing to take care of other animals upon request, as well as any additional duties that come with house-sitting such as plant care, trash duty, mail, cleaning, etc.

It’s important to me to be extremely thorough and detail-oriented when receiving instructions and information about your pet! I ask a lot of questions, so...

It’s important to me to be extremely thorough and detail-oriented when receiving instructions and information about your pet! I ask a lot of questions, so please don’t hesitate to give me specific directions or any details you see fit! I really want to learn about your cat, including all the little things that make them themselves so I can really get to know them and mimic their everyday routine as closely as I can!

I have no problem accommodating pet needs like specially prepared food, accommodations for nervous or fearful kitties, implementing behavioral modification techniques upon request, some medications, and more as needed. I am observant when it comes to the animals in my care and constantly monitor their health. I pay close attention to cats’ body language and respect the boundaries of every cat I work with. I’m also very patient with animals and willing to wait as long as I need to for them to warm up to me! I know how difficult it can be for some animals to have a stranger in their home, so during every visit I take care to prioritize their comfort while making sure they are well taken care of! I understand every cat is different and you know your cat best, so I’d love to hear directly from you what your cat needs and is the most receptive to!

For any inquiries about pricing for longer duration bookings or multi-hour non-overnight visits- or anything else!- feel free to message me!

Learn More About Cianna

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I currently have four, two rescues and two foster fails: Mikey, Emma, Jimmy Paige, and Robert Plant (guess which I named). Mikey is my childhood pet- 15 years going strong!- and I met Emma when I was looking for an emotional support cat as a teenager. Due to a bad experience with a trapper, Emma was traumatized to the point of being catatonic when I met her, and it took two hours of sitting on the floor with her in my lap for her to even move our first meeting. But I knew she had chosen me when she bravely got up to explore only to run straight back to my lap and curl up again the second something startled her. My other two boys are brothers from a litter of four colony kittens I fostered and formed a strong bond with after earning their hard-won trust and socializing them.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes I am! I’m usually available on holidays and don’t typically travel outside the state so I’m free very often.

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

I start by lowering myself to their level and holding out my hand for them to approach and sniff if they’re comfortable. If they seem receptive, I’ll initiate petting. If not, I stay where they can see me, avoiding sudden movements and loud noises, so they can adjust to me in their environment and approach me on their own time. I keep my body language and tone of voice calm and steady, respect their boundaries, and slow blink if I make eye contact. However, some cats need more than that, so I may use methods like sitting still with a spoon of food outstretched until they approach and holding it without movement while they eat to prove my trustworthiness and familiarize them with my scent as well as build positive associations, and then eventually move the spoon closer until they are within reach, working my way up to petting.

Cianna truly was a life saver for us this trip. Our elder cat with some thyroid issues had a medical emergency and she went out of her way to take him to an emergency vet late at night, stay with him overnight, and provide additional care and attention until we could arrive home. She took care of him like her own and provided us the peace of mind that he was in good hands until we could get back. Her extensive knowledge and experience with cat behavior is what alerted us to the problem and assured he got the medical care needed. This is the kind of sitter you want but is a rare find.

We had planned an overnight trip the weekend a snow storm was coming in and once again Cianna went above and beyond to make sure our cats would be taken care of regardless of the weather. She proactively made arrangements to guarantee they would get care despite the impending storm including setting up times self feeders in case travel was restricted. She even took care of the house, bringing in packages so they weren’t damaged by weather and offering to salt so we could get in the door safely upon our return. She is an absolute professional and thinks of everything so you can enjoy your time away without worry.

Cianna did a great job taking care of my kitties! She was very thorough about her care and communication, going above and beyond any other sitter that I’ve ever had. It was very obvious that she loves cats and this is not just a job for her, which makes a huge difference in the care she provides. After every visit, I received a lengthy message from Cianna with updates on what they did that visit and any update on their behavior/health. Additionally, the update contained pictures and videos of the kitties playing, which was extremely helpful in easing any fears or anxiety that pet parents get when they leave their babies. It was really appreciated that Cianna asked questions when she wasn’t sure about something. I would highly recommend Cianna to any cat mom/dad looking for a sitter that genuinely cares! She will not disappoint and will provide excellent care to your babies! It is obvious why she has 5 stars! She was awesome!! Thank you so much!

We're repeat customers and have been very happy to have found Cianna as our car sitter. We now have two cats for her to take care of and she does this with aplomb! She sends pics, videos, and detailed texts which always help to set our minds at ease. But the best, is that our girls appear to feel safe and happy with her and that is priceless😺

Cianna was truly amazing. This was my cats first time being left alone since my other cat passed and she needed some extra TLC when it came to eating. Cianna kept me fully updated and tried multiple ways to ensure my cat my cat at least ate something. my cat is also super shy around new people and talk to her immediately. I will definitely be using her again.

My little guy is timid and afraid of his own shadow. I didn’t even think that he would come out while Cianna was here. She was very patient with him, and he became more comfortable with her being in his home. The updates were thorough and helped me relax and enjoy my vacation. I highly recommend Cianna and will definitely use her again. Cianna is more than a cat sitter; she is a house sitter, too. She brought in the mail and offered to water my plants.

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!
