Learn More About Kay

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been cat sitting about 3 years now and have experience with spicy kitties, shy kitties, vintage kitties, the gamet.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

The thing I enjoy most about cat sitting is winning a cats trust. Especially a shy, anti social or skiddish one. I seem to have a knack for relaxing spicy or shy cats and to me, that’s the highest compliment a human can be paid!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My babies name is Kay as well. I did not name her, that was the name given to her at the shelter where she stole my heart.

Are you usually available during holidays?

My partner doesn’t celebrate most holidays so I am usually home and looking for things to love on since my family does live on the west coast and travel isn’t normally possible.

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

Shy babies I tend to let set the pace/rules of our interactions. I sit on the floor near them, keeping my movements slow. I also slow blink and keep my eyes semi closed and make a trail of treats to encourage a friendship until they are comfortable enough to come to me.

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend Kay. Our cats feeding times were not honored. Their feeding times is at 7 am and 7 p.m and they were not fed until 12 p.m. or 10 a.m. which caused them much distress, and I came home to urine and fecal matter. There also wasn't communication through the app to know check-in and check-out times, so I wasn't sure when she arrived and left until I reviewed our cameras. Overall, I had a very disappointing experience.

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.
