I'm Les | Cat Sitting in Tampa, FL
Hello there! My name is Les, and I am thrilled to introduce myself as your potential pet sitter. I am a certified veterinary technician with more than 8 years of experience in emergency and critical care, and I have a passion for taking care of animals. In addition to my professional background, I have a personal connection to animals. I am the proud guardian of five cats and a rabbit, each with their own unique personalities. Rei, the six-year-old Manx in my profile photo, is my emotional support animal, and we provide comfort and care for each other. Kroozer and Mama are my wise senior ladies, while Dodge and Bacon are my energetic tuxedo boys. My bunny, Nux, considers himself part of the feline crew! Throughout my career, I have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience in providing exceptional care for animals in need. As a wildlife rehabilitator and a cat foster parent, I have nurtured and raised numerous kittens from their neonatal stage all the way to their senior years. This has given...
Les's Reviews
Joy
I booked Les a second time because she was amazing with medications for my senior cat and gave super detailed updates and pictures every day. I know she will take such good care of my pets whenever I travel, that I can relax while I’m away. I highly reccomend her!!
Erin
So grateful! Les kept me updated every visit and kept our guy well taken care of. He's shy and older, and Les was able to get him out of his hiding spots to take his medicine. Looking forward to watching their bond grow over time. 😊

Les was amazing with Elsie. Elsie can be shy with new people and sometimes won’t come out to say hi, but Les was able to get her to come out and she even let her pet her! we had an issue with Elsie not wanting to use her normal litter box (she was boycotting and mad we left her) and Les was amazing and helped set up a temporary litter box for Elsie to use. I would 100% hire Les again!

The reservation went perfect! I had messaged Les ahead of time and got a quick response. She was willing to go above and beyond to take care of everyone. Her pictures and detailed daily reports were on point. I highly recommend!!!

Les took care of my baby while I was out of town for Christmas. Her communication was great and my kitty was happy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Tampa cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. 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.
