I've had the privilege to share my home with cats my entire life. I'm extremely empathetic and this trait carries on to any animals under my care. I currently have a 6 year-old male tuxedo cat, who came from a rescue and has been extremely anxious since I brought him home as a kitten. I have a lot of experience with the nervous variety of feline. I know how scary it can be to leave your cat(s) in someone else's hands, so I promise to care for your furbaby as if they were my own and be diligent and detailed with the visits and communications with you.

Learn More About Shannon

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have one male tuxedo cat. His name is Darwin. Prior to Darwin, I had Jack, Fudge, Christopher and Dan. :)

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Trust me to handle your furbaby with kindness and patience. I know it can be stressful on the human to leave your cat(s) in the care of a stranger, but I promise to treat your pets as my own and be on top of the communication and pictures to calm your mind and allow you to enjoy your time away.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I will visit your home and take the time to learn every detail of your routine to make sure your cat(s) feel a sense of normalcy while you are away.

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

Sometimes, just leaving the cat alone is what's best for them (at the time). Giving them space when they want it, is important. I will do my best to socialize with your cat, at their own comfort level, each time I visit.

Shannon provided excellent care of our cat when we were out of town for 10 days. She even took her to a scheduled vet appointment to receive fluids. She checked our cat thoroughly for injuries when our cat knocked a glass vase to the ground and it shattered. Her daily reports and photos were a pleasure to see each morning. Her communication was great if she had any questions about anything.. We had great peace of mind knowing our cat was in Shannon’s care.

Shannon was our first try at a new kitty-sitter since we moved to the area. Our 10yr old kitty has some special needs and therefore, requires a little more attention. Shannon was absolutely amazing from the moment we connected on Meowtel. Her responses were prompt. She took notes when she came to meet our fur baby. She kept in great contact with us sending pictures and updates. Our fur baby took so well to her. We will definitely be using Shannon again. Thanks a million Shannon ❣️😻

You might think that Shannon's reviews are too good to be true - but they are! During the meet and greet, it was clear that Shannon knew cats. She leaned down and made herself as small as possible. And I was shocked that one of my cats came out to see her! During the actual appointment, Shannon took care of our cats with the ultimate love and respect! Knowing that my girls were in her care really took a lot of stress off my shoulders! I knew they were in good hands with her! If you're considering Shannon, just do it. Both you and your cat(s) won't regret it.

Shannon was fabulous with my kitties, Sadie and Sundance. Her check-in and pictures each day were wonderful to see. I hate to go out of town, but I am glad that when I do, I have someone like Shannon to take care of my babies.❤️❤️

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.

Bradenton 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!
