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 been pet and house-sitting since I was a kid and I’m currently self employed so my hours and availability are very open and flexible! I’m located in Wilmington DE and have a car so I am able to travel and do overnight stays, including longer ones. I am also willing to take care of other animals upon request, as well as any addit...

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 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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Wilmington cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $29.00. 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.
