Hello! I am currently living in Lake Alfred and I have grown up with cats all my life with experience from kittens to senior cats. I currently have a calico cat that I love to play with and have her sleep on my lap. I have also had good relationships with other cats in my family, petting and playing with them.

I treat all cats as if they are my own and I am looking forward to taking care of, petting and playing with your cats! I am happy to take any special requests, so please just let me know.

I consider myself honest and trustworthy. I am an eagle scout. Also currently attend First Baptist Church of Lake Alfred.

Learn More About Matthew

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have one female Calico kitty named Daisy. She is a sweet seven year old cat and loves belly rubs.

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

I always make sure all doors and windows are locked before I leave and set any alarms in the house. I also ensure all cats are accounted for and check the food, water and litter.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am available on all holidays, seven days a week. My availability is any time during the day to cat sit

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.

Lake Alfred cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $22.00. 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!
