What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

First of all, make sure that the cat sitter has some experience/training or at least owns a cat. Cats tend to be timid with strangers and ensuring a safe environment for them while you’re away from home is key for their health and mental stability. Also, request a Meet & Greet before starting the service. This way you’ll ensure your cat meets the person who is going to take care of them beforehand and it’s the perfect moment to ask all the questions that you could have. A great cat sitter will ask as well questions about your cat, such as their behavior, food schedule, routine, likes, dislikes, places to hide, medication, emergency contact, veterinary information, etc.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I’m always available during regular and major holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving. This way you will ensure your per is always taken care of by their favorite cat sitter.

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

Having a Meet and Greet with the client and the cat in their home is key before starting a new service, especially with timid and anxious cats. When first introduce myself to these types of cats, the first thing I do is talk, to make the cat even more relaxed with my presence. I avoid sudden movements and particularly I like to sit on the floor. Then I will put something I wear close to the cat. This is used to let the cat sniff my particular aroma and get used to it. Then I will blink to the cat very softly and if I get a few blinks back, I know the cat is ok with me. After that, the cat will be in charge of leading the way to friendship. Only under their terms.

I can’t recommend Joyce enough! From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease leaving my cat in her care. She’s not only reliable and professional, but also incredibly caring and attentive. She took the time to understand my cat’s personality, quirks, and routine, and I could tell she truly loves animals. I got daily updates with photos and little notes about how my cat was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. One of my cats can be shy with new people, but she warmed up to her, which says a lot! When I returned, my home was exactly as I left it, and my cat was happy, healthy, and relaxed. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and dependable, look no further. I’ll definitely be booking her again for future trips!

I am so lucky and thankful I found Joyce. Not only she is insured, has training with SPCA, Pet first Aid, and is genuinely passionate about all animals. I would not trust anyone else with my babies, her daily reports are detailed, and very sweet, you can see she takes her time to observe her entire interaction with my pets every time she comes, and her personality really shows through the reports.

Joyce has been part of my pet family’s journey since we were six—two dogs and four cats. Over the years, two of my beloved senior cats passed away from old age, and Joyce felt their loss as if they were her own. She has cared for my entire pet family with unwavering dedication, love, and respect. All my pets are seniors, each with their own quirks and special needs, and Joyce has always ensured they receive the best care, from medications to all the attention they require. She is incredibly respectful of my home and treats my pets as if they were her own. I have tried other pet sitters, but none compare to her. I trust Joyce completely, and without a doubt, she is my go-to pet sitter. I recommend her without hesitation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Miami cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $27.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
