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 kitten...

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.

We are repeat customers with Gillian - and for good reason. We know our sweet Whiskers is in excellent, loving hands while we are gone. Much more than *just* being fed, watered, and having her litterbox cleaned (although, of course, that does happen), she is played with and gets some exercise and love 💕. We have peace of mind while we're gone knowing Whiskers is in such good care.

Gigi is the best pet sitter I have ever worked with. She genuinely cares and that shines through on every visit.

Nathaniel, can be moody, sometimes difficult and hides from strangers. Gillian was able to get him to come out with lots of treats. Food is his first love. She was able to play with him a little bit. Which, as an adult, he's never done with a stranger. His moody side did come out. Gillian provided him with a little music, some patience and more treats wich helped him get through his moodiness. She even gave him some Thanksgiving turkey, with my permission. Which of course, he loved. By the end of the reservation, he was beginning to warm up to her. Which for him, was monumental with a stranger. She kept me informed of everything. When he had an upset tummy accident, she let me know. One day, she informed me that the tap water was cloudy, so she went out and bought some water. She sent pictures and videos every day. At the beginning of my vacation, I was worried on whether I made the right choice to leave him with a stranger. When I received that first video of her playing with him, I felt relieved that I had made the right choice. I believe that it is her genuine love for animals, especially cats, that she was able to make it through his moodiness. Others would have given up on him. Gillian will be Nathaniel's future one and only sitter. Many thanks Gillian.

Frequently Asked Questions

West Palm Beach cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $31.00. 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.
