Learn More About Deborah

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

I’ve been caring for cats for many years as a cat owner. Over the years I’ve had several cats, and at one point I had three at the same time, so I’m very familiar with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, maintaining clean litter boxes, playtime, and recognizing when a cat needs quiet space versus interaction. Living with multiple cats has taught me how unique each one can be, and I always take the time to understand their individual preferences so they feel comfortable and secure.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is getting to know each cat’s unique personality. Some cats are playful and curious, while others are more relaxed and enjoy quiet companionship. I find it very rewarding to spend time with them, whether it’s engaging in playtime, offering gentle affection, or simply sitting nearby so they feel comfortable and safe. I also enjoy helping cat parents feel at ease while they’re away by knowing their cat is receiving attentive and caring visits.

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

When caring for timid or anxious cats, I take a calm and patient approach. I allow the cat to approach me on their own terms and avoid forcing interaction. I keep my movements quiet and gentle and often sit nearby so they can get used to my presence. Over time many shy cats begin to feel more comfortable and may come out for play or affection. My goal is always to create a calm environment so they feel safe and secure while their owner is away.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sarasota cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
