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

Almost 8 years full time! I have taken care of cats of all temperaments- from aggressive, to shy, to very cuddly and bubbly- I’ve taken care of them all! I have taken care of kittens to cats in their 20’s. I’ve provided oral medication and ear medication.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is forming a bond with each cat. I love earning their trust, learning their quirks, and seeing their personality shine through. I love creating a peaceful space for them while their humans are away—it’s like being a temporary cat companion. It’s wonderful being the person cat parents can rely on. It’s a great feeling to know I’m helping someone travel or work stress-free, knowing their fur baby is in good hands.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

One of my favorite cat sitting experiences was with an older rescue cat named Alphie. When I first met her, she was shy and barely came out from under the bed. I took my time—sitting quietly nearby, gently talking to her, and leaving out treats. By the third visit, I walked in to find her waiting for me at the door with a soft meow. She started following me around the apartment, rubbing against my legs and purring like crazy. It took no time at all until she was cozy and happy curled up next to me on the couch! Seeing a nervous cat learn to trust and feel safe with me was so rewarding—it reminded me why I love doing this.

Kiki is, without a doubt, the best sitter I’ve ever used. She is extremely easy to work with, professional, punctual, and brings a tremendous amount of experience and expertise to the table. I use Kiki when I travel and I take so much comfort knowing my Bugsy is in her hands. She has watched him for years and it’s very obvious how much she cares for and loves cats, and all animals for that matter. She is extremely communicative and responsive and absolutely shines at what she does.

Kiki is a dream cat sitter! Kiki is hands down the best cat sitter I’ve ever had! She is incredibly professional, always prompt, and radiates kindness and compassion. From our first interaction, I could tell she truly cares—not just about pets, but about delivering a top-notch experience for both the animals and their humans. She handled every visit with care and responsibility, keeping me updated with sweet notes and photos that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My cats, who can be shy around new people, warmed up to her right away—which says everything about her gentle and trustworthy nature. If you're looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful with animals, Kiki is the one. I feel so lucky to have found her!

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 $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.
