Hello !
I'd love to help with your kitties! I am an experienced cat sitter with over 10 years of experience. I've worked with a reputable pet sitting company in NYC/Brooklyn for 3 years. Also have worked with a cat only sitting company in Austin for 5 years. During my time there I sitted hundreds of fabulous kitties and administered meds (pills, insulin shots, eardrops) to some as well. I absolutely love sitting kitties and give lots of special care to all my fluffy friends : ) I work from home, so my schedule is open! I service Dania Beach, Hollywood, Hallandale Beach, & South FT. Lauderdale.

Outside of Meowtel I run my own skincare/wellness company from home. I am fascinated with herbs and their many benefits! I also am a vintage clothing fanatic and have been selling that online & at markets for about 20 years 😊

Due to this my schedule is very flexible & I am available almost every day/time of the week : )

I started working with Michelle a my cat Cooper recently became diabetic and he needed his insulin at a specific time daily while I was going to be away. She came by to meet him and my other cat super prepared and asked great questions which left me at ease they'd be in good hands while I was away. Michelle texted me everyday with detailed updates and pictures and the boys loved her. I am so glad to have someone I can count on to take care of my boys and handle the medication aspect while I'm away, it gives me lots of peace of mind.

Michelle is the cat sitter every pet parent hopes to find. Our cat has kidney issues, and since he requires multiple daily medications, we knew we needed a true professional cat sitter while we were out of town. We were immediately impressed by her wonderful reviews and clear experience caring for cats. From the start, it was obvious that she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. What we experienced went far beyond our expectations. Michelle came to our home prior to our trip to meet our cat, pick up our key, and review our very detailed care and medication instructions. During our trip, she sent us daily texts with thoughtful updates on everything she did, from administering medication and cleaning the litter box to playtime and treats, along with the most adorable photo collages from their time together. Our cat can be a bit of a diva and is usually slow to warm up to new people, but he took to Michelle surprisingly quickly, which is rare for him. Traveling can be stressful when you are worried about your pet, but thanks to Michelle, we were able to truly enjoy our trip without any worry at all!

There are not enough words to express how amazing Michelle is with cats. Our 2 babies were instant charmed by her, would greet her every day at the door, and would jump up to come say hi as soon as she arrived. She was so thoughtful, attentive, and sent tons of pictures every day. She was the BEST cat sitter we have EVER used. We have 2 Persian cats that needs eye care, are indoor only, and are very people centric. She cleaned their eyes with ease, and made them so comfortable with her. She truly went above and beyond. She is such a magical gift to all kitties she cares for!

Hired Michelle to check in on my two cats while I was out of town, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! This was my first time ever hiring someone to watch my cats, so I was a little nervous—but Michelle made it completely worth it. From the very beginning, their communication was excellent. They consistently checked in with me and sent updates after each visit, complete with pictures and a little summary of how my cats were doing. It was so comforting to see how well they were being cared for, and I loved hearing the little details about each visit. Both of my cats looked so relaxed and happy in the photos—clearly they were in great hands. I truly appreciated the attention, care, and love [Name] showed them. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring pet sitter!

I have two old cats including one who requires medication and I was very nervous to leave her. Michelle made me at ease immediately and took care to send me detailed daily updates and pictures. She also left everything tidy and organized.

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.

Fort Lauderdale cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $23.00. 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 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. 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 free Meet & Greet!
