I'm Alex | Cat Sitting in Sarasota, FL
Hi there! My name is Alex and I am a total cat purr-son! I'm a performer, public speaking coach, and nonprofit arts worker and I recently left my full-time position at a non-profit arts foundation to find more of a work/life balance. I currently work remotely part-time so I have plenty of time to spend with your sweet fur babies! I've been short-term and long-term pet sitting for a number of years in Florida and Michigan. I grew up with cats, house sit for families with both both cats and dogs, and I have two bonded cats of my own that I adopted from outside a theatre in Sarasota, FL. I think cats are the best because they know exactly what they want and they have to choose you. One of my specialities is making skittish and uncertain kitties feel safe and comfortable, which is kind of how I fell into cat sitting. Once frien...

Alex's Reviews
Emily
Alex went above and beyond for our 3 kitties. I have never felt so confident having someone care for our cats as I did with Alex. It’s not often you find a sitter that treats your babies and home as their own. I look forward to booking with Alex again in the future!
Janis
My cats loved Alex! I have a lot of them and she managed to give them all some love. She spent time playing with the inside cats to make them comfortable. She was able to get a foster cat to show her belly and get pets, and she's usually terrified of strangers! And another one who is equally terrified got close enough for head scratches. This was huge for me, I definitely appreciated her taking the time to help them relax. Another foster who is very shy came around very quickly to play with her and let her give scritches. And a fourth required some tricky stuff to get his medication and supplements in but she did a great job. It's very comforting when you're away from home to know that someone is giving them not just food and water to your babies but love and attention and play time. She also cleaned up their dishes and left things very nice and neat for me when I return home. She sent good pictures and video and kept me posted on how they did while I was gone. I will definitely reach out to Alex again for kitty cat sitting!
Juliana
Booked with Alex again for a longer 5 day trip. She was incredibly communicative and sent info and pictures after each visit. I'm so glad I found her. She took wonderful care of my cats and it's one less thing I had to worry about while I was away. My cats have a great relationship with her now!
Juliana
Alex instantly connected with my friendly cat Pennie during the meet and greet and got my shy cat Odie to come out of hiding on the first visit. she was always very prompt with getting back to me and sending pictures and updates after each visit. I am scheduled to go on another trip soon and I feel so happy that I found Alex. I will recommend her to all my friends and family if they ever have any cat sitting needs!

Frequently Asked Questions
Sarasota cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $37.00. 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.
