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.

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.
If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.
Wilmington cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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!
