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.

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 had Cianna watch our three high maintenance cats over the holidays and not only did she give us the peace of mind to enjoy our trip knowing they were in good hands but she went above and beyond to make sure the had a good holiday too. She was incredibly attentive to all of their special needs (we have two senior cats and one with CH) and she spent so much time getting to know their individual personalities so she could customize their care. She is very thorough in her preparation and has an extensive knowledge of cat behavior and care. Her experience with fostering makes her a fantastic caretaker of all types of cats, but especially with cats who may be flighty or have difficulty adjusting to new people. I cannot recommend Cianna enough. She is thoughtful, caring, trustworthy, and reliable. And our cats loved her. Her regular updates were detailed and reassuring and our cats were spoiled by the love and attention she gave them. Anytime we need a sitter, wewill be using Cianna whenever she is available from here on out.

I cannot say enough GREAT things about Cianna! My week-long reservation was my first time using Meowtel and leaving my relatively new rescues alone for an extended time period. I was very nervous about this, but Cianna put my mind at ease during our Meet & Greet. I could tell right away that she "understood" cats and was customer-service-oriented. My fur babies have a daily "routine," and Cianna followed it carefully. She took meticulous notes and asked important questions I hadn't thought about! Twice daily, she sent me detailed notes about their meals, litter box use, and playtime. She sent videos and pictures, which was good evidence of the fun they were having and allowed me to enjoy my vacation! Cianna will be my go-to cat sitter for the foreseeable future!

I reached out to Cianna at the last minute to take care of my cats. she went above and beyond to help me out. She continues to be an outstanding sitter who my cats have come to adore. They even come when she calls out to them, and the pictures and videos she sends shows me that they are happy and enjoying their time with her.

Cianna is amazing. One of our cats had an emergency issue while we were on vacation, and Cianna took her to the ER vet and stayed overnight for over 12 hours waiting for her to be seen. Cianna always goes above and beyond!!

Booking Cianna while we were away for vacation was one of the best moves. Her passion and dedication for felines was evident in the way she cared for our babes. She performed the daily tasks to perfection, as well as creating an enriching environment for our cats. She was able to develop a bond with both of our cats, and that’s saying a lot, because our tuxedo is very shy! Each day, Cianna would give a recap of her visit and send pics/videos of our kitties. This helped give us peace of mind while we were on the other side of the world! Our cats can also be picky eaters, and she was able to problem solve and find creative ways to have them eat! Cianna’s calm and gentle nature is perfect for cats, and I wish I could give her a 11/10!

Cianna is Fantastic! Treated both our cats as if they were hers. She was even able to win the heart of our "Scaredy cat"' by the Middle of the week. This was the first time Cianna sat for us. And we could tell by the end of our first meet and greet that she would do an outstanding job.... she did not disappoint! We will absolutely not hesitate to contact her in the future. Thank You Cianna! Miss B and Midnight Thank you also!🙂

Cianna is a rock star! Cianna came for a meet and greet to learn about my cats routine for meals, litter boxes and other stuff. she asked lots of excellent questions, and was very thorough. My cats absolutely adore her, and by the second visit they were playing with her, and rolling around on the floor for belly rubs. My cats tend to be skittish, so seeing how she was able to get them to come out and see her and interact with her was so heartwarming. Cianna is now my cat sitter when I need to be away from home. I can be away and know that my cats are happy and well taken care of. I wish I could give her ten stars!

Cianna was the best! She is very good at taking notes and making sure everything is how you like it. She has knowledge from her having cats and its cool to see the difference we have and what my cat enjoys that she does. I like how she sends a bunch of pictures and a paragraph every time she came as well. My cat ozzy also seemed to enjoy himself with her as well!

Cianna is the best I feel like she really goes above and beyond. I love the communication and how she takes care of not only my cat but just everything. She even brought over a few toys to see if he wanted to play with them which was super cute seeing the videos of him. Definitely recommend!

Cianna is an exceptional cat sitter. We have an extremely shy, much beloved kitty, and Cianna took extra time and care to bring her out of her shell. By day three, our girl (who adores hiding under the covers), emerged from the covers to receive pets and brushes. it may not seem like much, but this was huge for our cat! Cianna sent daily notes and pics that were thorough and timely. We're excited to have finally found a sitter who is a good match for our cat and for us:)

Cianna went above and beyond for my cat Leo! She took incredible care of him for me, and communicated with me very promptly throughout the reservation. Her very thorough meet & greet answered all of my questions and put my mind at least, knowing he was in good hands! I would trust Cianna with my fur baby anytime!

Repeat client cats love Aunti Cianna! My cats really do love her. They come out when she calls them, and they seek attention from her. She spends quality time with them, playing, brushing them, and making sure they each get their meals. My cats are happy and relaxed when I get home. Cianna is my favorite cat sitter!

Whenever I hire Cianna she always goes above and beyond! I first hired Cianna last minute to watch my two sick cats when I was called away for a family emergency and I’m so glad I did! I was very impressed with the questions she asked because they were detailed and insightful in a way I wouldn’t have thought of myself. She took notes and made it clear her goal was to make the process of me being away as least stressful as possible for my cats. She is very accommodating of my more nervous cat and it is obvious how much she cares about not only their well-being, but also their feelings of comfort and safety inside their home. She is extremely thorough and communicative in her updates, and went completely above and beyond my expectations when it came to monitoring their condition and problem solving when issues arose like when one of them wouldn’t eat, despite having to stay a little longer in order to get them to. She’s my go-to sitter!

Cianna is AMAZING. She is so attentive, communicative, reliable, and personable. She spends so much time playing and engaging with the cats, above and beyond expectations. When we got home from our trip last night both cats were bringing toys over to us hoping we could play with them all day like Cianna 😹.

Cianna was a phenomenal cat sitter. We've had a few sitters through various apps in the past, but she was far and away the best one we've had! If you are like us and maybe a little overly anxious about leaving your cats while you travel, Cianna is perfect- she's incredibly detail oriented and goes above and beyond to give you timely and helpful updates. We could tell immediately she takes her job very seriously and is proud of her work! We would highly recommend her to anyone!

Cianna is a "cat person". She loves cats and they love her. She quickly made friends with our cats - one of whom sat with her whenever she sat down (that is unusual!). She is caring, competent and totally trustworthy. We are so fortunate to have had Cianna take care of our cats and are looking forward to engaging her again for our next trip.

Cianna is a responsible, caring animal lover. She is our go-to person when we go on vacation. She regularly communicates with me when we are away and even texts photos of our fur babies. She trouble shoots quickly (when our alarm system went off) and goes the extra mile with making sure my pets are happy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Wilmington cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
