Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

Sallie and Kendrick live with family friends. No one in the family is willing to cat sit because Kendrick has a propensity for violence. I’ve found long sleeves, patience, and a soft demeanor work wonders. “Kendrick Time” has become a great little escape for me and he now greets me at the door with a leg rub. He and I read together while Sallie sleeps nearby. He has grown accustomed to my presence and is an entirely different little guy when I am over.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

The current Cat Coven is led by feral-turned “still feral” unapproachable gremlin, Edith Bouvier. Now 9 years old, she has been witness to quite a big home: Milee, Miso, Moby, Jack, Lila, Bill Murray, and Screaming Mimi. Sadly she’s lost those friends over the years, but a foster fail brought her new minions! She has (begrudgingly) welcomed Fern, Wolfie, Sailor, Winnie, and Francie into her cottage. Their days are spent on the screened porch when weather allows, bird-watching, squirrel-teasing, and keeping an eye on that pesky ferals in the neighborhood that dad is always trying to save. They LOVE cat tv on YouTube, playing with tail-toys, fuzzy mice (but dad removes all the tails), balls, crinkly things, and each other. I don’t love the idea of indoor/outdoor kitties but I know some are too stubborn to accept domesticated life. All of mine are 100% inside cats.

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

My heart belongs to Little Edie, aka Edith Bouvier. She was brought to us as a kitten by the neighboorhood Tom (neutered). My first foster-fail, she never really outgrew her feral tendencies. After a few attempts at “kitty Zoloft” I came to understand that she preferred our arrangement. I will sit near her and we will have long chats (they seem a bit one-sided) and I’ll get slow blinks and purring and kneading, and all the things that a cat does when they are happy. Those times have become so special to me that I, too, have accepted our arrangement. Just being NEAR a cat may be enough to get them to trust you. When I have to give Edie meds, cut her nails, or groom her, she reluctantly allows me to “trap” her - but once she is in the lap getting her “spa treatment” she turns to putty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Orlando cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $24.00. 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.
