Learn More About Kelsey

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Learning the new cat’s personality. Favorite petting spot or toy. If they like to snuggle or not. So funny to me how different they can be even if in the same household.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My baby Luca is 11 and sleeps by my head every night. Very snuggly and glued to my side always. My baby Pawsha is 4 and only likes to be snuggly at 7 am when he screams to wake me up and as I’m going to bed. He bring me a toy every night and is the definition of a scary cat but such a sweet and cute boy. Both are black with green eyes.

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

Most cats will be timid or anxious with a new person. Meal or snack time helps. But always with a new cat that is not immediately lovey and snuggly patience and space is important. Cats like to do things on their own terms.

Kelsey was absolutely wonderful. She was so kind and caring with my cats, and you could tell right away how much she genuinely loves animals. I was on a very busy business trip, but I felt completely at ease knowing she was taking care of them and keeping me updated. My cats clearly loved her, and I came home to happy, relaxed cats and a tidy place. She has a very calm, grounded energy that made the whole experience stress-free. I would definitely recommend Kelsey to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive sitter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Columbus 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.
