I'm Emma | Cat Sitting in Athens, GA

Hello! I've owned and been around cats since I was born, and have always adored them; from the cuddly teddybears to even the grumpier kitties, I love them all. I understand that every cat is going to be a unique experience, and that each cat's boundaries and behaviors can vary wildly. That being said, I enjoy learning what I can about each cat and getting to know them through our time together. My goal is to ensure each visit isn't wasted, and that your cat is left...

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Cat sitting feels like an opportunity to meet a new friend. I've never met a cat I didn't like, and often look forward to strengthening my friendship with the cats I get to know. Even when some cats aren't too keen on being social, just being in their presence can make my day just a little better.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have one black shorthair cat named Prince, he's about six and has a very strong personality. He's not what you'd consider a cuddler, but he's proven to be a smart and interesting cat that constantly surprises me. Getting to know him and earn his trust over time has been a helpful experience in regards to my catsitting skills as well. In the past I've also had a ragdoll named Eddie, another ragdoll named Gwenny, a white shorthair named Bailey, and my childhood cat was another white shorthair named Rachel. They've all left lasting memories with me that I cherish and think about often.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

The most important thing about cats is reading their body language, and understanding what they are or aren't okay with off the bat. Letting them make the first moves, and acknowledging you're the stranger in their home can mean many things, but most of all it means being kind and patient. Sometimes just sitting quietly on the floor for a while helps, sometimes it takes a little more effort. But whatever the process entails there also has to be recognition of the fact you're in THEIR space and they make the rules. I've found almost every cat will open up eventually, in some small way, as long as you don't expect them all to respond the same.

Emma has compassion and respect for all critters, event he ones who may put up a bit of a tussle! Emma's familiarity and comfort working with cats is a big relief.

I’ve known Emma for almost 15 years and during that time, I have used them for care for my own adopted cats and my adopted dog who was traumatized from past abuse. My dog, in particular, can be difficult to care for and that has never been an issue. He’s very nervous and needy but at the same time can get upset and turn irritated quickly. Emma was able to diffuse any upset from him by setting him up in front of his favorite space heater or packing a Kong for him to relax. He loves Emma! I’ve recommended them to friends and family and every person has been a repeat customer because Emma is so caring and dedicated. Even in stressful situations, Emma has remained calm and taken the best care of all of the animals that that have been in their care. I can’t even pick an animal which is Emma’a favorite - they’ve cared for dogs, cats, amphibians, reptiles, and tarantulas. Meowtel and anyone who uses Emma for pet care would be lucky to have them care for their animals.

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

Athens cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $20.00. 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.
