Meghan's Reviews
Haley
Meghan went above and beyond when I was in Australia. I was scared to leave my cat at home alone and she assured me she would thrive in her own environment. She took time to reassure me everything was ok and sent photos, videos, and messaged me updates. She is a cat charmer and definitely put me at ease. I would recommend her every time.

Meghan was awesome as always with my batch of furry feline housemates
Kristen
I was extremely nervous to have a cat sitter since my two cats aren’t getting along yet, but Meghan did such an amazing job with them. She made sure to keep me updated with pictures, and answered any questions I had right away. Will definitely use her again!
Tom
She's the best cat sitter in the tampa area bar none.

As always Meghan was awesome. she always goes above and beyond for my 7 furballs and I honestly don't know what I'd do without her, especially as often as I travel for work. she makes traveling easy knowing my 7 balls of floof are properly cared for. all of my cats love her.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee
We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

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 $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.
