Learn More About Ayelen

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy most is the special connection I can create with each cat. Each cat has such a unique and distinct personality that I find it fascinating to discover. It’s incredibly rewarding to provide them with affection, personalized attention, and ensure they’re happy and relaxed. Every visit allows me to share special moments with them, and that’s what I value most about this job.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

To ensure the safety of the cats and the home, I make sure everything is secure and in order, checking for any potential hazards. I stick to the cats' usual routine, making sure they feel comfortable and relaxed, and I also spend time playing with them to keep them engaged. Additionally, I keep the owners updated with messages and photos. My priority is to provide them with a safe, fun, and loving environment. ☺️

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

I have extensive experience handling cats, as I’ve had cats all my life and have also been involved in rescue centers, where I worked on socializing cats that were afraid of humans. When handling timid or anxious cats, I strive to be as calm and patient as possible. I give them the space they need to feel comfortable at their own pace, without forcing them to interact. I approach them slowly and gently, often speaking in a soft voice to help them get used to my presence. Over time, I offer gentle play or petting, always respecting their boundaries and need for security.

Ayelen was fantastic with our three cats and home. She was very responsible, kept us updated while we were away with photos and even a cute video of the kitties. She took the time to make sure each of them was comfortable and cared for. It’s obvious she genuinely enjoys working with animals. Our cats were calm and happy when we returned. Their boxes were clean, water and food bowls full, and even helped with some kitty clean-up...which meant a lot to us. We’re very grateful for the care she provided and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.

I arranged to have Ayelen look after my Egyptian Maus last minute after my prior cat sitter fell through. She was able to meet and greet within 24hrs, and asked great questions. Maus are notoriously shy with strangers, and I was pleasantly surprised when she sent videos and pictures from her visits, with all of them out, playing and accepting affection from her.

Ayelen was incredible! My cats loved her. One of them is very shy, but with Ayelen she came out to be petted, which says a lot. She always sent us pictures and videos, fed them very well, and gave them so much love. We are super happy with her and will definitely leave our cats with her again on our next trip. Highly recommend!

Ayelen was fantastic from start to finish. She cared for our Salem as if he was her own. She sent me photos and videos after every visit and gave so much love to my boy while we were away. I truly believe that they had a connection. Salem felt so comfortable around her and I absolutely would reserve her again. Great experience!

Ayelen is very caring cat sitter! She did a great job caring for my Scottish Fold cat Max. She was always very punctual and sent several pics and vids to me while I was away. Highly recommend her for taking care of your cat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fort Lauderdale 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 $24.00. 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.
