I'm Rachel
Cat Sitting in Sanford, FL
I'm very patient with animals and used to cleaning up messes. I'm very friendly to both kitty cats and people, an... My name is Rachel and I have worked professionally with cats for 6 years in addition to growing up around cats my whole life. My mom works at the animal shelter and we've fostered and owned cats of all ages, shapes, and sizes! 🐈
I'm very patient with animals and used to cleaning up messes. I'm very friendly to both kitty cats and people, and am open to households with multiple cats. I myself have a Russian Blue mix named Gengar as well as three rabbits! Gengar is a very cuddly cat and will probably be jealous I'm hanging out with other felines, but he'll forgive me (I think).
I'd love to set up a time to discuss being a sitter for your kitties and look forward to meeting them.
Learn More About Rachel
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I've been cat sitting professionally for about 6 years, and have lifelong experience living around and helping to take care of cats in my own household.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love getting to meet new cats and seeing their unique personalities come out as we get to know each other. Checking out new areas of town in the process is a huge plus as well!
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I have an initial conversation with the pet parent, typically through video or voice call. I share a little bit about myself and ask for information about the cat's habits and temperaments, their age, if they have any medical condition or require medication, and their cat's favorite things to do or play with.

Rachel is an amazing cat sitter! She spends quality time playing with, brushing, and petting my cat, and it shows. My cat absolutely adores her and is always happy and relaxed in her care. Rachel genuinely loves animals, and her attention and affection make all the difference. I feel completely confident and at ease whenever I leave my cat with her, knowing she will be treated like family. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and dedicated pet sitter.

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.
Sanford 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!
