Cat Sitting in Atlanta, GA

Caring for cats is something I put my whole heart into. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to give your kitty love, comfort, and consistency while you’re away. At home, I have my girl Patty, who means the world to me, so I completely understand how it feels to leave your baby behind. Because of that, I treat every cat like my own and make sure their routine, comfort, and happiness always come first... Caring for cats is something I put my whole heart into. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to give your kitty love, comfort, and consistency while you’re away. At home, I have my girl Patty, who means the world to me, so I completely understand how it feels to leave your baby behind. Because of that, I treat every cat like my own and make sure their routine, comfort, and happiness always come first. 💕

I’ve been cat sitting for over two years and have cared for all kinds of cats, from shy, cautious kitties who need gentle patience to playful, social ones who love constant attention, and sweet seniors who need a little extra care. My approach is always calm, kind, and intuitive. I let each cat set the pace, take time to earn their trust, and make sure they always feel safe and relaxed.

During visits, I keep things peaceful and predictable with feeding, playtime, cuddles (if they want them), and a clean space. I send thoughtful updates and plenty of photos so you can truly feel at ease while you’re away. Getting to know each cat’s personality and figuring out what makes them happiest is the best part of what I do.

Learn More About Tara

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes, I have one cat named Patty. She is my best friend and the sweetest little soul. Patty has the gentlest personality and such a calm, loving presence. She loves soft pets, curling up beside me, and quietly following me from room to room just to be near me. She has the cutest little meows and always greets me like she has been waiting all day to see me. And of course, she LOVES her food. Having her has taught me so much about the tender, sensitive side of cats. She reminds me that every cat has their own way of showing love and comfort. Because of Patty, I always approach every cat I care for with patience and kindness. I know how special they are to their families, and I always want them to feel the same safety and affection that Patty feels with me.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I’m usually available during the holidays. I know how stressful it can be trying to find someone you trust when you’re traveling, so I always make sure to keep time open for my regular clients and new ones who need help. I really enjoy spending the holidays with the cats I care for and it doesn’t even feel like work. I always make sure they get lots of attention, playtime, and love, and I send plenty of updates so owners can relax and enjoy their time knowing their cats are in good hands, because I know I would want the same if I was away from my kitty during the holidays.

Tara was spectacular! We can’t thank her enough for taking care of our boys. She communicated about each trip and sent pictures and updates as well. This was a truly superior first experience. We will be rebooking with her!

Tara took excellent care of my super skittish cat. She was able to coax her out of hiding for cuddles and treats every day. She was very communicative at every step of the process and provided lots of photos.

Booking Tara was one of the best decisions I have made for my cat. She came by to meet my cat Max and he was instantly comfortable with her, which meant so much to me because he can be timid around new people. Tara was so warm and playful with him and she quickly learned all of his favorite toys and little routines. Every visit left me feeling relieved and grateful because I knew my baby was in such good hands. She has a natural way with cats and you can feel how much she loves what she does. She is the best.

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.

If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.

Atlanta cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with 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. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet!
