Learn More About Vanessa
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
As said in my bio, I have owned cats my whole life. I have never had less than 4 cats at a time! I even take care of stray cats in my neighborhood and they’ve ended up loving my backyard!
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I enjoy meeting so many adorable kitties and experiencing their different personalities! They are so fun to be with and so loving!
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Yes, I currently have ten cats! Their names are: Frankie, Bones, Cashew (Chewy), Tiny, Stevie Nicks, Shadow, Bean, Boogie, Cheeto and Benny:)
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
All the cats I’ve owned have been cats I’ve rescued. I know how to handle anxious animals quite well because of it. I am always willing to stay watching them until they feel comfortable around me. Their comfort is my priority and I am very patient!

Absolutely amazing sitter! She followed all my instructions perfectly and sent great photo and video updates. She handled my big crew of kitties like a pro—even my shy cats, who usually hide from sitters, came out to see her! You can tell she truly loves animals. I’ll definitely be booking her again!

Vanessa was absolutely amazing. This was our first time ever using a cat sitting service, and I was a bit nervous not knowing what to expect, but from the very beginning, she made everything easy and stress free. She took exceptional care of our cat, Cleo, going truly above and beyond. Her communication was great, she was incredibly thoughtful, and it was clear how much she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. Coming home to sweet notes, photos, and little thoughtful touches meant more to us than she probably knows. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone. We’ll definitely be reaching out to Vanessa for all our future trips.

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 $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!

I was planning a quick weekend getaway and wasn’t sure I would be able to find someone to sit with my fur babies. Vanessa was quick to respond, easy to schedule and setup a meet and greet. She provided videos and pictures of her visit which were adorable to see and comforting. The refrigerator mangnet was such a special surprise! I will definitely be calling Vanessa again to watch my girls!

Vanessa did such an amazing job taking care of our beloved Kahlua while we were away for our wedding! we felt so confident and assured she was in safe hands with her and that never faltered for a second with all the timely messages and pictures Vanessa sent!! I’d recommend her to all my friends and family who need a caring and lovely person to look after their treasured cats!!

Vanessa agreed to take care of my cats when I was going away at short notice. I’m always nervous when I am leaving my cats in someone’s care for the first time but Vanessa made the process trouble-free. Vanessa arrived at my home in time time slot we agreed on, sent fantastic updates and was clear and speedy with communications. She got some great pictures of my nervous cat and both my cats were clearly very glad to see her each day! I recommend Vanessa 100%.

Vanessa was an awesome cat sitter. Gave great updates. She was super caring and asked great questions to make sure all bases were covered. She has great experience with cats. Will be booking Vanessa again for my next trip. She also went the extra mile to leave a card with pictures at the end of the visit. Thank you so much Vanessa.

Looking for a reliable, trustworthy, lover of cats and just overall a great choice, then Vanessa should be your ONLY choice. She is a sweetheart too! Cat owners, you know how much we love our cats and worry ourselves that there are not many options to ensure their safety, love and care. BUT there is and it is Vannesa! When I just returned from my Christmas vacation my home was in perfect condition. My cat came running and wanted all the love he missed that I typically give him daily. And although I am not sure if he and Vanessa got to be friends because I just have not spoken to her yet. But my guess is they did! You will have ZERO WORRIES if you choose Vanessa as your cat sitter!!!!!

Great experience! Vanessa is super sweet, quick to respond, and communicative throughout. She’s a true cat lover who will make you feel like you can go away without worry, trusting that your pet is in good hands. She sent pics and updates each day and even left a thoughtful treat for me to find when I came home.

I cannot express the wonderful service that I received from Vanessa. This is the 2nd time she takes care of my babies. Vanessa is extremely responsible, caring, and loving with my kitties. She did well beyond what I expected, letting me feel at all times that the kitties were enjoying themselves with all her attention. I highly recommend her as she makes herself available even in last minute situations. She sends photos and videos daily of the kitties to show that they are doing well. She even helped the kitties write a special Mother's Day card and left their new portraits up on the fridge. I'm extremely grateful and once again highly recommend her to other cat parents.
