Learn More About Sophia

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is building trust with each cat and getting to see their personalities come out over time. There's something so rewarding about earning a cat's affection, especially if they're shy or independent. I love the calm, peaceful energy cats bring, and l always do my best to make sure they feel safe and cared for while their family is away. Whether it's playtime, brushing, or just sitting quietly nearby, I enjoy connecting with each cat in whatever way they're most comfortable.

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

I take the safety of your cat and home very seriously. I always double-check that doors and windows are secure and make sure the environment is free of hazards like open cabinets or unsafe plants. I follow feeding, litter, and medication instructions exactly as given, and I keep your cat's routine as consistent as possible. I also respect your home-turning off lights, locking up, and tidying up after each visit. You'll get regular updates from me, so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, l'm usually available during holidays and can be flexible with my schedule. I understand that travel plans come up, and I'm happy to help when needed!

Sophia was wonderful! She took excellent care of our four babies, giving individual attention to all 4. Even my 2 shy ones, even the one who will ALWAYS hide in the closet came out! I was shocked. For this reason alone she is now my go to cat sitter.

We are beyond thankful to have found Sophia as our pet sitter! She has been absolutely wonderful with our pets, Chloe and Cookie. From the very first visit, it was clear that she truly cares for animals and treats them like her own. She’s reliable, attentive, and always goes the extra mile, whether it’s giving updates, spending extra time with them, or making sure they feel safe and loved while we’re away. Chloe and Cookie adore her, and so do we! Knowing they’re in such good hands gives us complete peace of mind. Highly recommend Sophia to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!

Sophia is a kind, reliable, and attentive pet caregiver who treats every animal with love and patience. She took amazing care of my cat, making sure they felt safe and happy while I was away. She’s calm under pressure, easy to communicate with, and truly cares about the pets she looks after. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!

Sophia has been caring for my cat for nearly two years, and I can honestly say she's the best sitter l've ever had. She's reliable, attentive, and has a natural way with animals that instantly put both me and my cat at ease. My cat is usually shy, but she warmed up to Sophia right away, which says everything. Sophia follows instructions perfectly, keeps me updated with photos and messages, and always leaves my home just as she found it. I have complete peace of mind every time I travel. Any cat parent would be lucky to book her!

Frequently Asked Questions

Tampa cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
