I'm Emily
Cat Sitting in Melbourne, FL
I'm very laid back and flexible and always take things at the cat's preferred pace. I've sat for all kinds of cats, from the shyest babies who love their space to the most talkative little beans who want all my attention, and I love them all.
Learn More About Emily
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
I sat for a cat named Izzie who did somersaults when she was happy, which was the cutest thing ever. She also developed a habit of laying on my chest and purring, which her mom said she doesn't even do with her!
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two black-and-white cow kitties, Poptart and Mr. Noodles. Poptart was a 4-week-old bottle baby foster fail who is now 8 years old and hasn't slowed down a bit. Mr. Noodles was a stray I took in "temporarily," and the rest is history. Poptart is the loudest cat I've ever met, Mr. Noodles is probably the most demanding of attention, and I love both my snuggly boys so much.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I always keep doors locked and do not answer the door unless the pet parent asks me to (repairman, etc). I keep all toiletries behind a closed door and all food in the fridge inaccessible to kitties. I always double and triple check medication to be sure it is the correct pet and correct dosage. I also keep frequent contact with owners about what is normal for their pet re: behavior (eating, drinking, litter box use, etc.)

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.
Melbourne cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
