Meghan's Reviews
Tom
I've used her twice now and she's been absolutely fantastic both time. i have 7 cats so it can be a handful especially my one that's super skiddish but she handled them all brilliantly both times and they all love her so much that the only one that seemed to miss me at all was the skiddish one ava lol
Donna
No stress reservation. Everything turned out perfect
Debra
Meghan was fantastic. my reservation was last minute and she was reassuring that my babies would be well taken care of. she did a fantastic job and even my shy cats came out which hardly happens with strangers. we had an issue with my door lock and she resolved it immediately. the photos she sent were greet and my cats looked happy and well fed. I would refer her to anyone and will absolutely use her services again.

Meghan did a great job of making me feel that she liked “The Badnesses” and she cared about making me aware that they were doing well. When I returned from my trip, they were chill and not the frantic desperate pair that they can become. Meghan sent plenty of pictures, let me know when she was coming, cleaned up after the cats and brought in my mail. She is definitely someone that you can rely on.

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations.

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 $28.00. 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.
