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

I’ve been caring for cats for as long as I can remember—since I was about 2 years old. Growing up around them, I naturally developed a deep understanding of cats and their unique personalities. Over the years, I’ve cared for cats of all ages, from energetic kittens to senior cats needing extra patience and attention. I also have experience with special-needs cats, administering medications, and helping shy or anxious cats feel safe and comfortable. In addition to cat sitting, I’ve been involved in rescue work, which has given me hands-on experience with a wide range of behaviors and situations. Caring for cats isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love, and I treat every cat like family.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is building trust with each cat and getting to know their unique personality. I love those quiet moments when a shy cat starts to warm up to me, or when a playful kitty shows off their energy and curiosity. There’s something really special about making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I also genuinely enjoy the companionship—whether it’s playtime, feeding routines, or just sitting together for some peaceful cuddles. Knowing I can give both the cat and their owner peace of mind is the most rewarding part of what I do.

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

I handle anxious or timid cats by giving them the space they need and letting them come to me on their own terms. I never rush or force interaction, because I know trust takes time—especially for more sensitive kitties. I move calmly, keep my energy quiet, and create a safe, low-stress environment so they can feel comfortable. As they start to gain confidence, I gently build that trust through patience, consistency, and positive interactions. Every cat is different, so I pay close attention to their body language and adjust my approach to what makes them feel most secure and at ease.

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.

Santa Rosa Beach cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $23.00. 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!
