I have had cats in my life since I was a little girl. My last two cats lived to be 20 and 18. I have lots of time to love other kitties! I foster kittens and cats for the Gulf Coast Humane Society. I would love to be a cat sitter for your kitties as well. I love animals! When in my care, all pets are my family. Lots of love to give.

Much of my career involved travel , and I had to have a cat sitter. I know how important it is to feel that piece of mind when you are away, and someone is watching your loved fur baby.

Learn More About Debbie

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love spending time with cats. I play with the cat and brush them only if they like to be brushed. I just love seeing all the beautiful breeds and personalities.

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

I am very attentive to the animal's behavior and the homes set up and surroundings. Also, many owners will leave instructions as to the needs and care of their cat.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes. I am recently retired, and I live full-time in Fort Myers Florida. I am around year round and holidays.

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 Myers cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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!
