Learn More About Sophia
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I've co-parented 7 cats over the course of approx. 10 years. Currently have 2 of my own. Nyssa, my 12 y/o baby who I adopted at 2 months at the Petsmart summer adoption fair. She is my pampered pride and joy. And the cat distribution system assigned me a fluffy and very vocal runt of the litter, Jinx, who I found abandoned in the middle of the road at just 2 weeks of age. She was flea infested and almost ran her over. Originally named her Lucky, since she was very lucky she didn't get run over, but later changed her name to Jinx because of her sassy personality resembling the Arcane character, and I thought it would be ironic (Lucky-Jinx). She is now on her way to being a year old in July. Still thinking about the party theme. 🤔
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
Making sure all possible home exits are very secure, getting rid of all plastic/wrappers, taking point of the exact location of the cat when opening the front door, and opening the front door when entering the home with extreme caution (little escapist ninja experts), always making sure that if the home has multiple rooms that I never accidentally leave the cat closed inside of a room, making sure they're not behind anything that needs to be pushed against a wall/other surface.
Are you usually available during holidays?
I certainly can be. I'm a homebody, an introvert, gamer, I work from home... I am the perfect creation of cat sitter. It will be very rare that I am not available during holidays. For major ones, it will probably just be an evening dinner with my family who are local. So, not going anywhere outside of my area.

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!
