Learn More About Sherrie

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

I have been cat sitting with Meowtel since Dec 2022.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love all cats, and getting to know your kitty(ies) and their personalities is delightful. I enjoy connecting with your cat via playtime, cuddles, and/or treats.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My very first reservation was for two cats named Sydney and Maggie. Sydney was a young cat who was ready to PLAY with his wand fishing toy! Maggie was an older queen bee who loved to be brushed and knew her rightful place was on the countertops despite my petty entreaties otherwise. Right from the beginning, these two cats were not shy and ready to interact. While I've been able to bring some shy cats out of their shell a bit, it's so much fun when they are immediately curious and ready to engage.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My kitty is Leeloo, a black cat rescued from the Humane Society. She loves food, treats, sitting in her Mommy's lap, and chasing small furry balls.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Definitely the right choice for most cats is allowing them to stay in their familiar territory and having a sitter come to them instead of boarding. This will be the choice that is most relaxing for your cat(s). In choosing a sitter, you want to find someone who understands cat body language, and who is willing to let kitty lead what kind of engagement they want to have.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

At the Meet & Greet, I use a checklist so we can make sure neither of us forgets any pertinent information. I make sure to respond to any and all messages as quickly as possible, so it's easy for you to ask questions and get the peace of mind you need.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

First of all, cats are not allowed outside and I'm on the lookout for their sneaky little ways of scooting out the door! Second, we make sure that any little spots they could get into (but not get out of easily) are blocked off. I also am thinking about emergencies that could crop up when the owner is away. I make sure we locate carriers in the event I need to take kitty to a vet. I even evacuated two client cats to my place in a hurricane! Fortunately no one was hurt and no property was damaged.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am usually available during holidays and keep my calendar current. If my calendar is free, then you can feel free to book!

What is your favorite cat toy?

I have a laser pointer attached to my key ring that is often a big hit with client cats. But I also follow up with physical wand toys your kitty can actually catch.

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

I never try to reach in to a timid or anxious cat's hiding place. I would like to coax them out, although that won't always happen and that's ok too. As long as they have all their needs met, the kitty parent can have peace of mind that their cat(s) are in the best possible space, their own home. But I have had success bringing cats out of their shell, and often it is with playtime! Even if they don't chase it, if they are following the toy, that is engaging their brain to some degree. It has been my experience that once a cat comes out, they demand petting/playtime/treats in abundance!

We have Sherrie cat sit for us every time we go out of town and I honestly think my cats may like her more than us lol. She always does an outstanding job and my cats clearly love having her there!

Sherrie cared for my kitties & they seemed to really enjoy her (usually hide under bed). They played & showed off their feline abilities for her. I’d highly recommend Sherrie!

Sherrie just watched our three cats for the first time over a long weekend and she was great! I especially appreciated her communication and letting us know how everyone was doing when she was at our house. Would definitely recommend!

WOW!! Sherrie helped us so much!! We had work being done while we were away and didn’t realize that the contractors would be sealing off portions of the house and entire rooms. One cat got sealed in a room but Sherrie hunted her down and then came back a second time the same day to move both cats and their food/water/litter into the only room that wasn’t being worked on (please know we had no idea they’d be doing THAT level of construction even though we told them about our cats). Sherrie was a cat-saver. I was so worried but she put my mind at ease.

Sherrie was AMAZING!! She took excellent care of our two kitties and even got the shy girl to come out and play. Sherrie went above and beyond, even helping unload cat food that I had to order. Reliable, great with cats, and super responsive!!!!!

I couldn’t ask for a better person to take care of Sam. I got blown away when I saw she had developed a relationship with him on the first day. He is very shy, but he fell into her arms. She brushed him daily, and everything was taken care of when I got home. She kept in touch daily. .Wonderful experience!!

We just adopted an 11 year old kitty 2 weeks before Sherrie took care of him. She made us feel so comforted!!! She is the very best pet sitter we’ve ever had! We’ve been loving pets together for 48 years of marriage!❤️

Sherrie is always wonderful with my kitties. She knows how to interact with each personality type. I know I am leaving them in the best care. And I can tell this when I return home to two happy kitties. I would highly recommend Sherrie.

Sherrie was awesome. One of my three kitties requires insulin twice a day. And Sherrie was wonderful. Especially because this little guy is such a challenge. She kept me updated with pictures and messages. Would highly highly recommend Sherrie.

Sherrie made extra efforts to nurture her relationship with my shy and anxious cat. She took many pictures of Callie during each visit and described Callie’s progress in adjusting to her visits. In addition Sherrie evacuated Callie to her home during Idalia. I highly recommend Sherri!!

Sherrie is a fantastic catsitter! She sent informative updates and made great inroads with our somewhat aloof but curious cat. When several unexpected challenges came along during our trip (additional days away and a hurricane) Sherrie was quick to respond and went above and beyond to make sure our kitty was well taken care of.

Sherry is wonderful! She was so attentive and loving towards my babies. Not only did she make sure that they had fresh food and water, scooped litter boxes daily, she gave them cuddles and play time. Daily pictures and updates were greatly appreciated and gave me a piece of mind.

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 $27.00. 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.
