Cat Sitting in Fort Myers, FL

Hi, I’m Linda. I moved to Fort Myers to be close to my daughter and her husband who own and operate Cattyshack Cat Cafe (where I find the best cat toys).

I moved to Fort Myers to be close to my daughter and her husband who own and operate Cattyshack Cat Cafe (where I find the best cat toys). I grew up in a large family and we always had pets in our home. I lost my fur babies right before I moved and have not adopted a new one, but I watch my grand furbaby cat Harvey when his parents are out of town. I am semi- retired and have lots of time for cuddles and snuggles. I am dependable, flexible, and well aware of what leaving a pet in the care of a stranger entails. I am available for overnight visits with no issues! Set up a visit with me today!!

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I come from a family of 5 children and we had cats my entire childhood. I started officially pet sitting when I moved to Florida 4 years ago as I no longer have pets of my own. I enjoy watching my furbaby Harvey when his parents are out of town. I also assist at Cattyshack Cafe where I get to play with all the new babies as they come in looking for their forever homes.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love meeting new babies, and the people they call parents! Each cat has a unique personality and I love getting to bring it out. The challenge is always worth it when they decide you are approved!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I currently have a grandchild cat named Harvey. He is so smart and we enjoy spending time together playing with his favorite toys.

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

The advise I would give for someone looking for a sitter is to follow your gut. Meet with the sitter beforehand and if possible observe the interaction between your cat(s) and the sitter. Ask lots of questions and relay any pertinent information.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am currently retired but work as a personal companion occasionally and I am available anytime and during all holidays.

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

I love to find ways to meet a new furbaby! I try talking softly to encourage them to come out. I put my hand out to try and get them to smell before I touch. I’ve used the sit and ignore tactic where you just sit nearby and wait for them to come out. And I’ve been guilty of a little bribery if treats are allowed and a cat is treat motivated. Always depends on the cat.

Linda was the perfect sitter for my aging cat. She was calm, loving and reliable. She needed to give injections and additional meds which didn't phase her. She came when she said she would , sent pictures, and reported back each visit. I had the feeling I was there with her. I will certainly hire Linda the next time I'm out of town.

I love Linda and so does Sammy! She is so accommodating. I love the way she gets down to his level and is up to doing what he feels like doing! On my first trip away from my guy I was extremely nervous since I never left him overnight. Linda’s care for Sam was so genuine and caring I didn’t worry during my trip and Sam really enjoyed her company.

Linda was absolutely wonderful with our cats! She’s clearly very experienced and has a great system in place - everything was handled smoothly and thoughtfully from start to finish. Her updates were detailed and reassuring, and it was easy to tell she truly cares. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and total confidence in booking with her again. We’ll definitely be recommending her to friends!

We couldn’t be happier with our Meowtel experience! Linda was absolutely amazing with our two black cats, Ragazzo and Cielo Blu. Not only did she take wonderful care of them, but she also went above and beyond by sending us tons of photos and updates each day. It gave us such peace of mind to see our boys happy and comfortable while we were away. What impressed us most is that Linda actually got both Ragazzo and Cielo Blu to play — which is no easy task! It’s clear she truly loves and understands cats. We came back to relaxed, well-cared-for kitties and a spotless space. We highly recommend Linda to anyone looking for reliable, loving cat care. We will definitely be booking again!

I was away on an extended trip, and my kitty wasn't doing well in my absence. Linda spent extra time with him and gave him extra care. She sent updates and pics, and it really helped put my mind at ease. Because of Linda, I could relax in knowing that my kitty was being well taken care of. Linda is so caring, and she goes the extra mile. I will use her every time I need a sitter, and I recommend her to anyone in need too. She's truly the best!

Miss Linda did an absolutely phenomenal job in taking care of my cat when I was away for the weekend. She sent me updates whenever she stopped by, including pictures and anything that happened with my kitten. I appreciate her bringing me into the fold, and I appreciated how she also brought little treats and toys to keep my kitten more occupied. I highly recommend Miss Linda for your pet sitting needs.

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 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!
