I'm Michelle | Cat Sitting in Fort Myers, FL

⭐️ I can only fit 5-6 houses a day so please plan ahead if you want to guarantee a spot during holiday rush. Thank you! ⭐️ Planned vacations: December 8-15 I like to believe that I’ve been a cat fanatic my entire 30 years on earth. I grew up with cat allergies which helped me develop a tolerance as “no cats in the home is not a home” to my family. I did volunteer work for the Tallahassee humane society while working on my biology degree and have experience with giving oral, intravenous, and transdermal medication. I will always assume the cat is skiddish and needs a quiet environment. I will not immediately get in their face and force love on them. I try to wear the same out...

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

I’ve been cat sitting with Meowtel for a little over two years. I was the first sitter in the Ft Myers area. I was nervous in the beginning because I didn’t have any other sitters to refer from, just myself. I drove in the morning to prep any last minute things for my FIRST kitty client the day Hurricane Ian hit. Her 4 day reservation became almost 3 weeks! Navigating poor service, power, and flooded roads was a challenge for a newbie like me but I did it. After that experience, I started to find my groove and get more confident in what services and benefits I could offer as a sitter.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love seeing all the different cats (breeds, body shape, hair length etc.). I feel like dog breeds and looks are more universally known but cats are also so diverse! I hope to meet a sphynx someday.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 1 cat right now. Her name is Ruby. I also have 2 bunnies. I lost my soul cat, Moose, two years ago and I am still mourning him some days.

Michelle does a fantastic job! She is very dependable and creative, for sure! She ran into a situation where she couldn't get thru the gate at the entrance. So she alerted me and came back later to try again. This time someone let her in. All was good.

Michelle has kitty-sat my girl a number of times. She is responsive, detailed, and my cat clearly adores her. I never worry when I am travelling. She is great!

Michelle was a wonderful cat sitter for our little one. She kept us informed with pictures at each visit, followed instructions, and took care of our kitty. What I like most is that on her last day of sitting, our kitty was obviously missing interaction (he was following her around the house very closely), so she picked him up and carried him. That's what he needed and she was quick to notice, which meant a lot to us and our little one. We will definitely call on Michelle in the future. A++

Michelle was great! I've used her twice to watch my two kitties - always steps up to the plate and does a great job. Plus it gives me peace of mind while I'm traveling to know my cats are in good hands.

Michelle was fantastic. We have an old cat and a kitten that has forever had an upper respiratory thing and she kept us very informed. all of the cats love her. And the house was spotless when we returned!

Frequently Asked Questions

Fort Myers cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. 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.
