Cat Sitting in Gainesville, FL

Hi there, I’m Taylor! I’ve been catsitting for over 5 years now around my neighborhood and for colleagues as well volunteering at my local humane society for over 4 years. I absolutely adore kitties and am a wholehearted cat person, but due to where I live currently, I can’t own any. Therefore, I get my cat fix by caring for the kitties of clients and shelters!

Outside of catsitting, I do part time day classes...
Hi there, I’m Taylor! I’ve been catsitting for over 5 years now around my neighborhood and for colleagues as well volunteering at my local humane society for over 4 years. I absolutely adore kitties and am a wholehearted cat person, but due to where I live currently, I can’t own any. Therefore, I get my cat fix by caring for the kitties of clients and shelters!

Outside of catsitting, I do part time day classes at community college and am a delivery driver. I am a passionate artist and love to craft in my free time as well, and volunteer at the local humane society as often as possible.

I’m open to traveling anywhere in the cities of Gainesville and Newberry, and have open availability in the mornings and evenings! I will work on weekends and most holidays as well.

I can’t wait to meet you and your feline friends!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Spending time playing with and snuggling with cats!

Look for someone who you can tell has a strong passion for cats, they’ll spend more time with and effort towards caring for your kitties!

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I like meeting the kitty or kitties and parent and having them show me where everything is and how they usually do things!

Are you usually available during holidays?

All holidays except for Christmas day I am generally open!

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

I have absolutely no words to describe how amazing Taylor was to our four babies. The updates, the love she gave them, the pictures and videos, every single part made our trip so much better because we knew our babies were safe and being loved on so much. I cannot recommend her enough!!

Taylor is incredible. I am very particular with my two cats--one of whom is a little feral darling. Taylor was conscientious about establishing a schedule with my cats, played and interacted with them, and sent photos and updates. I will absolutely use her as a sitter again.

Taylor was a great cat sitter! Our cat Vicky is very shy, but Taylor made her feel comfortable and loved. Taylor is very communicative and sent thorough updates about our baby. We were able to relax on our vacation knowing Vicky was well taken care of. When we returned, Vicky seemed very calm and content. :)

Taylor is amazing! Wven my shy kitty warmed up to her. Booking was easy, meet and greet went well and I knew my cats would be well cared for while we were away. Taylor was awesome with getting photos and kept us updated on any needs. Will definitely have Taylor back in the future.

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.

Gainesville 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 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!
