Cat Sitting in Miami, FL

Hello, i'm Sankara, lifelong cat parent. I’ve lived with cats from childhood through adulthood. Have had/lived with & cared for almost half a dozen different cats over the years in different homes I've lived in, in the U.S. and abroad (including France and parts of Africa).

Hello, i'm Sankara, lifelong cat parent. I’ve lived with cats from childhood through adulthood. Have had/lived with & cared for almost half a dozen different cats over the years in different homes I've lived in, in the U.S. and abroad (including France and parts of Africa).

My approach centers calmness, patience, and adaptability—because every cat has a different comfort level, routine, and personality. I follow instructions closely and prioritize low-stress care: fresh food and water, clean litter, gentle play/enrichment (or quiet companionship for shy cats), and a tidy reset of the space before I leave. I pay attention to small changes in mood, appetite, and litter habits and will message you promptly if anything seems off. You’ll get consistent updates with photos and a quick summary each visit. If you’d like, we can do a short meet-and-greet to confirm routines and preferences.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

It's always my pleasure to be around cats at any point in time but really knowing how difficult it is to maneuver finding help to care for a cat while away and traveling myself it's a pleasure to be able to help others take care of their lovely fur companions so they can move freely stress free

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My sweetest dearest clingiest cat Kuro, whom I was blessed to have by my side for 12 years since I was young, passed away recently from cancer. I Keep her leash(Yes, we used to go on walks !) in my room and sometimes hook it to my pants to my belt loop & let it hang at my side like an accessory.

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

I used to have two different very timid cats along with my very clingy cat, same mother, born in my house but took years for the last of the three to fully warm up to my family, he was naturally deeply anxious about touch. Learned if you bring a level of stillness tranquility and quiet into the space and show cats a calm consistent care from a distance(with their food toys water etc...), they'll be safe enough to test their own boundaries and anxieties and approach and let themselves be cared for

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.

Miami 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!
