Learn More About Wilmer

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two beautiful cats. Scar and Tita are their names. They're my babies.

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

Just make sure that the person who is going to take care of your babies loves cats as much as you do. Kitten love is a very genuine love.

Are you usually available during holidays?

For sure. I have all my dates open and I can always give plenty of notice if any setbacks occur.

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

I think we can't force cats to love us, we have to earn their love little by little. Giving them their own space is essential. And let them be the ones who decide to include us in their routine.

Wilmerwon my cats' trust and affection. He was thorough, actually more diligent than I am. I was able to relax while I was away knowing that my cats were in good hands. Multiple daily video updates allowed me to see for myself that they were well cared for.

Savannah

You can tell from first meeting Wilmer how much he cares about not only cats but about how passionate he is for the work he does. He is extremely communicative, and when there are hiccups along the way he is extremely attentive in providing any and all details. My kitten is brand new, never been alone before, and extremely shy with people other than me. Wilmer charmed her in literally 36 hours!!!!! She was playing with him and even let him pick her up. He takes so many fun pictures and videos of your baby, and shares every single on with you. I adore Wilmer. I would definitely recommend him, and look forward to utilizing his services again in the near future. THANK YOU WILMER.

Jacklyn

Wilmer is a fantastic and extremely trust worthy cat sitter. he sends so many photos and videos of the cats and we can tell our cats really enjoy spending time with him and are excited to see him. he wore a Santa hat over on Christmas and sent a video of Santa arriving to give love to our cats and it was so sweet and thoughtful. he is kind enough to keep an eye out for packages, he takes really thorough notes for instructions and follows them closely. highly highly highly recommend Wilmer. he is friendly, professional, responsive and really loves all the pets he cares for, which shines through in every photo, video, update and interaction. we feel super safe having our kiddos in Wilmer's loving and thorough care!

Wilmer is great to work with and great with the furry kids. He is very thorough and on top of it starting the initial meet up all through the very last visit. Very reliable, great communicator, and a cat whisperer. My cats are relatively shy; I was not expecting to come out of hiding to meet and greet him but they did.

Wilmer goes way "above & beyond" any expectations. He kept in touch with video of his visit and left little treats for my cat (who spent the entire time hiding!) He is meticulous with details and cleaning up after my frightened cat. He even cared for the indoor plants! I am immensely pleased and delighted to have found him and will call again & again.

I have never used a pet sitter before and was nervous about leaving my cats with a stranger. Wilmer was wonderful and kept me updated each visit. He even went out of his way to help with (2) cats that I take care of but are not my indoor cats. I highly recommend him and will definitely use him in the future!

My kitties are super shy. Wilmer didn't let that stop him from trying to make friends. He was just the right amount of coaxing and leaving space. He made sure he knew where they were and let them stay hidden as they wanted.

Wilmer takes such good care of our Ruckus (who is very needy and loving.) we know he is in the BEST hands when he is spending time with his bestie Wilmer from Meowtel! He took wonderful photos and videos, kept us updated, and asked questions when he needed to. We can always be assured that Ruckus is receiving the BEST care!

Erick

I want to thank Wilmer for the incredible care he provided to my two cats while I was on vacation. I left with the peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Wilmer took care of feeding them, playing with them, and giving them the love and attention they need. But what really impressed me was his dedication to keeping me informed about everything that was happening with my cats. Every day, he sent me videos and photos of them, along with a detailed report of their behavior, eating habits, and anything else relevant. I felt like I was right there with them, thanks to his constant and loving communication. When I returned, my cats were happy and healthy, thanks to his dedication and love for animals. Wilmer is a trustworthy, responsible, and kind person. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs someone to take care of their pets. Thanks, Wilmer, for everything!

I would leave even more stars if I could: Wilmer answered my questions quickly, arranged a meeting time, reviewed all my needs and schedule.

Featured Cat Sitters Near Fort Lauderdale, FL

Frequently Asked Questions

Fort Lauderdale cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, 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. 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.
