I'm Sherre
Cat Sitting in Longboat Key, FL
I have had cats (usually more than one and as many as 4) since I was 5 years old. I retired a few years ago so you can guess how many years that is! Just to be fair, I've also always had dogs. I currently have an 8-year-old, female German Shepherd Dog. And yes, all my cats and dogs have always gotten along.
I am responsible, dependable, extremely organized, an 'out of the box' problem solver and a very good communicator. I am patient, calm and understanding and will do what it takes to make your kitties feel well cared for and loved.
I was fortunate enough to purchase a winter home on Longboat Key FL when I retired in 2018. I spend Jan-May enjoying paradise there, then am lucky enough to travel back to Colorado, my home for over 50 years and spend the rest of the year there. I am originally from Connecticut... Thanks for stopping by to view my profile.

I started sitting for Meowtel this past summer (2024) and have enjoyed it so much, I am going to give it a whirl while I'm in FL for the season.
I currently have the sweetest little boy cat named Charlie. He was born in foster care 18 years ago and I adopted him when he was 10 weeks old. He was originally named 'Runt' due to his diminutive size but that didn't seem like a good moniker to hang on him, so Charlie it is!
I've had many cats over the past 65 years and they have all lived long, happy lives. I even had a stray that I 'captured' as a kitten that lived to be 26!!! I thought that had to be a record, but I have heard of some cats living longer. I must be doing something right! All of my cats have been rescues.
I am well versed in all cat care, including medication administration, transportation (if needed) and the understanding of cats' different personalities, behaviors and moods.
I am a retired social worker and client advocate, so I am accustomed to traveling to other people's homes and respecting your privacy and security as well as meticulously following your instructions and communicating daily while you're away.
I appreciate you trusting me with your furry, feline family members, I will not disappoint!
Learn More About Sherre
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have owned and cared for cats since I was 5 years old. I have cared for friends and family's animals for over 50 years
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I enjoy the company of cats. I am fascinated by the different behaviors and personalities that each individual kitty possesses.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I currently have one 19-year-old cat named Charlie.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Listen to your gut. And leave clear concise instructions.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
The meet and greet is so important. I love meeting new people and I like to take notes so I don't have to rely on having perfect recall! All of my previous jobs have involved customer service, in one shape or another and the need for keeping detailed notes for follow-up. I am also a transparent person and happy to answer all the clients' questions.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
My cats have always been indoor cats, so I am very conscious of kitty escape tactics. I treat a clients home with the same care and consideration that I would expect. While not always possible (depending on the particular cat) I like to see each cat face to face for an assessment of their wellbeing and health. Cleaning their food and water bowls every visit is hygienically important as well.
Are you usually available during holidays?
yes, I am normally available during the holidays
What is your favorite cat toy?
the laser and the "bouncy, squeaky mouse wand"
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I will let them come to me. I will try to coax them out using soft high tones, while feeding. If there is a particular toy that they like, especially if it makes noise. if they have not appeared when the food is down, I'll hang out near their food and play with that to entice them. If they are food motivated, treats are always helpful!

Sherre is communicative, kind and great with my two old girls. One of my cats is high needs and Sherre does a great job making sure my cat gets the meds she needs when she needs it. I couldn’t be more grateful to have found Sherre.

We have a pretty high maintenance girl, with her diabetes and Sherre went above a beyond! We test her blood sugar before each insulin shot twice a day and Sherre was very receptive to learning how! it really put our minds at ease being away for so long knowing she was staying in her usual routine and getting some company! We will definitely be using Sherre again!

I was away for 2 weeks over the holidays, and Sherre was able to check in every day! With every single visit, I got photos of the feeder, litter box, and my cat (unless she was hiding away!). I felt I had great peace of mind knowing everything was running smoothly while I was away :)

She goes above and beyond when caring for my kitties. One of them has diabetes and requires oral medication, and she handles it with such skill and care. I always feel completely at ease knowing they’re in her hands. When she’s with them, I know my cats are not just looked after—they’re truly cared for.

Sherre watched our three cats for us and was absolutely amazing. Sherre came for a consultation and took detailed notes, asked important questions, and was greeted promptly with leg rubs. Sherre communicated quickly with any questions we had and was very personable. Even with a special diet cat, I felt comfortable leaving our babies in her care. we received tons of photos and daily updates of her visits. Our cats warmed up to her quickly and we could tell they were well cared for. Thank you so much for making one of the most stressful things about planning a trip feel so much easier.

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.
Longboat Key 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!

Sherre was great! Very detail oriented and great communication for the entire week. All the kitty boxes were cleaned, feeders were cleaned and filled every day, water was always refreshed, and supplements during lunch were always given according to instructions. My 4 kitties loved their time with her! She also made sure our home was safe and sound, during visits. We will definitely have her kitty-sit again!

Sherre was a fabulous cat sitter for my cat, Penny! She was very detailed and attentive. She has such a warm and lovely personality that made me feel immediately at ease leaving her in the care of my cat. She gave Penny space when she didn’t want pets or playtime, but she made sure to be present for when Penny sought attention. She cleaned Penny’s litter box and food bowl daily and made sure to leave a clean house after she left. I would highly recommend Sherre, and I hope to continue hiring Sherre for future cat-sitting needs.

Sherre was absolutely amazing with my two boys! Both of my cats are not great with strangers, one is very shy and the other can be aggressive, and Sherre was patient and loving with both of them. She sent us very detailed updates and lots of pictures. In addition to taking care of our cats, Sherre took care of our home. She brought in packages that were delivered, kept an eye on our wonky thermostat, and alerted us when our back gate was open. Sherre was also wonderful with our high-energy husky. Sherre was so attentive, meticulous, and caring for our home and our pets, it was like having a family member there! Can’t recommend her enough!!
Virginia

Sherre is consistently great! She sends lots of pictures of the kitties, nice long messages describing how the visit went, and she just generally takes care of my house (bringing in the mail, saying hi to my dog), etc. Thanks again Sherre!!

I couldn’t be happier with Sherre’s care for my two cats, Abby and Libby, while I was away for 7 days. She provided amazing communication, sending plenty of pictures every day to keep me updated, which I truly appreciated. She went above and beyond with the care she provided, including thoroughly cleaning the litter boxes and even handling the aftermath when my curious kitties got into their tube treats! Sherre is a lovely human, and I wholeheartedly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter for their fur babies!

Sherre was absolutely amazing! Our kitten took to her so quickly and I’m so appreciative of Sherre’s attentiveness and kindness. She took care of her energetic kitty so well while we were gonna and gave her all the love and attention she needed! We will 100% book Sherre’s services again next time we go out of town and recommend her to anyone looking for someone you can trust to take care of your sweet kitties!

People always say “oh cats are so easy, you can just leave them and they will be fine.” Well that’s not my cat, he demands attention and his precious wet food. So any time we go out of town we have to find someone to check in on him. Usually we ask friends or family but that is not always possible so finding Meowtel and Sherre have been a blessing!! Sherre was astounding, she provided photos and constant updates on her visits. She even got our cat to play with a cat toy which is huge for a cat that prefers to be catered too! Will definitely be booking with Sherre again when we go out of town!!

Sherre kept me updating and made me feel comfortable on my trip away from my elderly cat. My cat is usually very shy and hides from new people, but she came right out when Sherre was there. We will use Sherre again for my cats care. She want above and beyond and we trust her with the care of our cat and home.
