I currently have 10 cats that my family and I have rescued!
I’ve had pets all my life. I adore cats and am so excited to take care of yours. I love to give all my attention to the cats I take care of so they feel loved and comfortable. Because I have owned so many cats throughout my life, I have learned how to handle all of their personalities. The cats I take care of will always have playtime, lots of pets, treats throughout the day, and maybe even some cat tv on youtube! I look forward to helping more
cat parents with their babies!

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

As said in my bio, I’ve had 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:)

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I am usually available during the holidays.

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!

Vanessa was an absolute gem while I was away on an extended trip with my cat, Pilar. I truly couldn't have asked for a more attentive experience. She sent multiple videos every single day, which meant the world to me. My cat is shy, but Vanessa went out of her way to make her feel safe and comfortable, and it showed. For the first time, I was able to actually enjoy my trip without spending it worrying whether my girl was okay. She also left my house in impeccable order. Vanessa will be the first person I call for any future cat sitting needs. She's an angel, and I can't recommend her enough.

Vanessa is fantastic and a consummate professional. This was our first time using a house sitter rather than boarding our cats, and we won’t go back to boarding our animals. Vanessa texted us complete reports on our four cats with photos and videos. She also told us everything she had done on each visit. It was evident that our cats were very comfortable with Vanessa. We would love to work with her again.

Vanessa was heaven sent. This was my first time ever having a "stranger" take care of my cats outside of friends/family and someone that wasn't referred to me entering my home. Needless to say I was definitely a bit apprehensive to use an app to find someone but all those worries went away when I met Vanessa. She is absolutely incredible and I am so grateful I found her and she was available to watch my 2 cats. If you are looking for someone kind, trustworthy, reliable, thorough, caring, detail oriented and who really loves cats look no further. You will not be disappointed. You can really tell she cares about what she does and puts a lot of love into it. She keeps you updated, sends pics, videos, leaves everything neat and tidy, and follows any special instructions to the tee. When I came home I noticed a difference in my cats compared to other trips. You could tell they were loved and given attention, despite being home alone for days. Coming home to the incredibly thoughtful, sweet special surprise was the cherry on top. For lack of a better way to express my gratitude, THANK YOU!!!

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!

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 $27.00. 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!
