Learn More About Haily

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have three cats: two adopted from Cat Depot, and one I rescued as a kitten from the street. Maisie, my sweet tortie, is super shy around new people, but she literally talks to those she knows—she’s quite the chatty cat! Vespa, my calico, is older + quiet but sassy and loves to sunbathe all day long. Salem, my cross-eyed lynx point, is the kitten I rescued off the street. She’s so tiny and loves to scratch my wooden stair bannister. It’s funny because her name means peace, but she's anything but—she’s wild!

What is your favorite cat toy?

Tunnels are fantastic for cats! They offer that perfect sense of security—a cozy, covered space where they can hide, yet still stay engaged. Cats can move around freely and pop their heads in and out, interacting as they please. As for my cats, crinkle toys are a total hit. They absolutely go wild for them!

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

I'm perfectly comfortable caring for cats who are timid or anxious. I believe it's essential to respect their boundaries and let them set the pace. While toys and treats can be great for coaxing a cat out of hiding that you know, I approach new feline friends differently. I don't think enticing a cat out of hiding automatically creates a bond or gives me the right to interact with them. I find that "less is more" often works best. I prefer to sit quietly on the floor in an open space, giving the cat time to observe me in their environment and get used to my scent from a distance. This allows them to come out on their own terms. Depending on the length of the sitting job, there are many other methods I use, but this is always my starting point.

Haily was amazing with Mew. He was relaxed and happy the whole time, which means the world to us. She made sure he took his steroids, supplements, and nebulizer treatments without any issues. We felt completely at ease knowing Mew was in such caring and capable hands. Haily scooped the litter and refilled the water fountain everyday. She made me feel at ease by sending me detailed updates of Mew everyday. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable cat sitter.

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 $26.00. 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.
