I'm Susanne

Cat Sitting in Lutz, FL

I was five years old when we adopted our first cat and I have had a love affair with cats ever since.  My husband and I have had from one to eight cats at a time over the past 35 years. We currently have six and our home would not be complete without them.  Several of our furry family members have lived over 17 years. I am now retired from my professional business career in Human Resources and I have the luxury of pursuing part-time work that is close to my nature and the most personally fulfilling.

I have rescued at least twenty cats in my neighborhood and captured, had spayed or neutered, obtained necessary medical care and socialized them...
I was five years old when we adopted our first cat and I have had a love affair with cats ever since.  My husband and I have had from one to eight cats at a time over the past 35 years. We currently have six and our home would not be complete without them.  Several of our furry family members have lived over 17 years. I am now retired from my professional business career in Human Resources and I have the luxury of pursuing part-time work that is close to my nature and the most personally fulfilling.

I have rescued at least twenty cats in my neighborhood and captured, had spayed or neutered, obtained necessary medical care and socialized them. Depending upon what was best for the cat, I either released or arranged adoption (several of them became our pets). 

I have volunteered for and supported animal shelters over many years. I have cared for neighbors' and friends' countless cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, rats and mice. My experience includes caring for elderly and/or ailing cats and administering oral and topical medications, injections and subcutaneous fluids.

My visits include cleaning and filling food and water dishes, maintaining litter boxes, sweeping, taking out the trash, bringing in your mail and packages if you desire and loads of loving and playtime with your cat(s). I will send a daily text message which includes at least one photo and a video. I know how stressful it can be to leave my cats and I want to be able to provide you with peace of mind while providing love and care for your unique and beautiful feline family members.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Uahpet (the fountain company) has the very BEST cat wand! You can't find it at pet stores, online only at their site. The wand is extendable and flexible and comes with multiple toy attachments that the kitties love. The favorite seems to be a dragonfly that crinkles and has streamers. This wand is more expensive than most but it's excellent quality, no dangerous fishing wire, and great toys! I have one and I buy them as gifts for other cat lovers.

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

I recognize that I must earn their trust. I always approach them slowly, speaking to them softly and with my hand out so they can get my scent. I use their name frequently and tell them they are handsome, gorgeous, beautiful, smart etc. (because they all are) and that I would never hurt them. I do this each visit. Some shy kitties let me pet them at the very first meeting using this technique- totally surprising their kitty parent. The most time it's taken is two visits for the very reclusive kitty. A few times, for the most anxious kittys, I've incorporated treats into my technique. It is SO rewarding when we have formed that trusting bond!

This was my first time having a cat sitter in our home. Susanne went above and beyond my expectations. She was so kind, attentive, and my patient with my Felix. He’s not normally used to strangers but that did not deter her from getting him to like her. She talked to him, got him new toys, and showered him with love. I got plenty of pictures and video updates while I was gone. She was everything I could have wanted and couldn’t be happier.

This was only the second time we had ever used a cat sitter. We were leaving for an extended vacation out of the country and were very concerned about our one-year-old baby, Eevee. She is shy and doesn’t usually warm up to strangers, but once she forms a bond, she is incredibly loving and sweet. Not everyone is able to connect with our Eevee, but Susanne was determined. She went above and beyond, and before long, Eevee knew she had made a new friend! Susanne cared for Eevee with the same love and attention that we do. She took the time to talk to her, play with her (even bringing her new toys!), and give her plenty of affection. The time she spent with Eevee was truly quality time. Susanne kept us informed every day and sent amazing videos and adorable photos that brought so much joy to our family. We looked forward to her updates every single day! We cannot thank her enough for the peace of mind she gave us while we were away. If you are looking for a truly exceptional sitter, Susanne is definitely the one for you and your kitty!

Susanne was superb—as usual. Morty my cat is in love with her. the attention. the grooming. The playing with toys on a string. just wears him out which he loves as a kitten still. Cat sitting is not a job for Susanne. it’s clearly a passion. We are all blessed to have her in our lives-human and feline

Susanne was attentive, caring, and so kind to our kitties. We were gone for four days and in that short time she won them over! Susanne made sure their litter boxes and surrounding areas were tidy, fed them, and played, even bringing them a new toy. Each day I received detailed messages about them and many pictures, which was very reassuring. We will definitely book Susanne to watch our cats the next time we are away!

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.

Lutz cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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!
