I’m a devoted cat lover and foster mom who’s cared for cats and kittens of all ages and personalities.

Learn More About Dawn

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Since I’ve worked in the vet field and foster cats for a rescue, I really appreciate being able to give them gentle care, attention, and a calm routine. It’s rewarding to know they feel safe and loved

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

On top of my rescue fosters, I have my own personal cats. Drago, Shiro, Mr kibbles, Laverne, Lilly, Chloe, Hobbes, Jasper and Nugget

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

Not all pet sitters understand the dynamics of cats/kittens. They are a unique breed of animals and should hire a sitter that has experience working with various personalities.

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

When I work with a new cat parent, I like to start by learning all about their cat’s routine — feeding schedule, favorite toys, quirks, and any special needs or medications. I’ll usually set up a quick meet-and-greet so your cat can get familiar with me and you can feel confident about the care they’ll get. During each visit, I make sure they’re fed, litter is clean, and they get playtime or cuddles (depending on their personality!). I always send updates and photos so you know how they’re doing while you’re away

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

I know how important it is to feel your cat and home are safe while you’re away. I always make sure doors and windows are secure, your kitty stays safely indoors, and their space is tidy and comfortable. I follow your routine closely and keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I’m usually available during holidays since I know that’s when many people I’m always happy to spend the holidays making sure kitties feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away

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

I move slowly, talk softly, and let them warm up in their own time. With my background in the vet field and experience fostering rescue cats, I’ve learned how to read their body language and make them feel safe. My goal is to earn their trust and keep them as relaxed and comfortable as possible while you’re away

Dawn was amazing! She took the time to pet and play with our sassy calico each day, and was even able to accommodate adding an extra day to the reservation at the last minute! During our time away we felt truly comfortable leaving our Torie in Dawn's capable care, and the picture proved how much fun they were having. We look forward to the possibility of having Dawn's take care of Torie again!

We love LOVE love having Dawn as our sitter. From the first contact, she guided me thru the process; made some suggestions, and kept in constant contact with me. She completely understands kittens, feeding schedules, etc. That made it very easy for me to relax (and not worry) about Little Tommy at home. The best part is that Tommy loved being with her. You can see how happy he was in all of the photos. We can't wait to reserve her again!.

Dawn was awesome. Her care and attention to my babies was absolutely wonderful. She gave love to the baby with her favorite toy and although my older cat is very shy, in the end Dawn won her over. The daily pics were great and it set my mind at ease. I highly recommend Dawn.

This was my first time being away from my cat for several nights, and the updates and photos from Dawn gave me so much peace of mind. She was dependable, attentive and clearly cared about my cat. I would happily book her again.

Dawn did an excellent job of taking care of Boots while we were out of state for awhile. She made sure to let us know what he was doing, what he was eating, and send photos every day. We were able to enjoy or vacation knowing Dawn was taking care of Boots at home. We highly recommend Dawn and will definitely be using her services again.

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.

Holiday cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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!
