Over 50,000 happy kitties serviced on Meowtel

I'm Gillian | Cat Sitting in West Palm Beach, FL

I’ve had pets most of my life and I can’t imagine a life without cats. I’m busy with my own dogs and cats, and Meowtel cat sitting fits in perfectly with my life. I feed three feral cat colonies daily and practice TNVR (trap, neuter, vaccinate, return) using Peggy Adam’s free service. That same shelter has also adopted out dozens of kittens I’ve socialized or fostered. I’ve seen...

Learn More About Gillian

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Ringo, Dingo, Turk, Bison, Flounder, Trout, Sardine, Scallop, Mitchell, Rasputin, Agent Orange, Cheddar, Rosita, Myron, Grady, and Alex. All feral rescues that were not socialized/friendly enough for the shelter to put up for adoption. My choice was to dump them back outside or keep them. (They are all fixed, of course!)

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

During your meet and greet, ask questions and take note of whether the sitter asks questions of you. The more information exchanged regarding the cat(s) the better. Communication is key, and the sitter should show genuine interest in your particular cat(s) and her needs. Each client has different cat care methods and directions, and you want to make sure the sitter takes the time to understand what you expect.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes I am. I rarely, if ever, go anywhere. I have a houseful, but I also am passionate about feeding my feral colonies daily as they depend on me.

Gigi is amazing! Absolutely blessed to have found her! We have senior cats that need daily medications and were terrified to leave them alone. Gigi's updates, photos and videos allowed us to relax and enjoy our trip. We returned home to happy, healthy kitties. It is such a relief to know that we can go away and not have to stress about our cats. Thank goodness for Gigi! Can't recommend her enough!

Gigi did a great job taking care of my kitties while I was away. My cat Scoots is a bit shy, but by the end of my trip, she was comfortable playing with her and getting pets. My big boy Tate has separation anxiety and will go on the bed, but he got all the attention and love he needed, and I came home to a clean house. Gigi even cleaned their food mats for me and emptied the trash! I would definitely use her services anytime. My kitties were well cared for and happy.

Gillian is thorough and trustworthy! She routinely takes care of my three kitties and we continue to contact her for help whenever I travel for work or fun.

Do not hesitate to book Gillian. She answered my last minute call for help with my two cats when I had a sudden emergency trip. The best thing, besides helping with the need for more food, was her gift of love and tender petting that my two sensitive guys really need. The pictures and her texts to me evidence this to a high degree. I will definitely call on her again for my cats.

She’s the best. We’ve used her twice now and I know my kitties are in great care. Really thankful we found 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.

If you are not fully satisfied with your sitter after the Meet & Greet or during the reservation, please call 1-844-636-9835 so we can help you re-book with a new sitter to ensure we can deliver on our purrfect hospitality promise.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $32.00. 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.
