Cat Sitting in Atlanta, GA

Hello! My name is Melanie and I am a college student at Emory University in the Atlanta area. I am a certified cat person and cats just bring me so much joy. Growing up, I always had family cats (5 over the course of my childhood to be exact), and I currently have a kitty of my own!

I’ve had experience with many types of cats with many varying personalities, ranging from high energy bengals to lower energy, elderly tabbies. I will follow your cat’s needs when it comes to my visit with them, ensuring they are as comfortable as possible, getting what they need out of it...
Hello! My name is Melanie and I am a college student at Emory University in the Atlanta area. I am a certified cat person and cats just bring me so much joy. Growing up, I always had family cats (5 over the course of my childhood to be exact), and I currently have a kitty of my own!

I’ve had experience with many types of cats with many varying personalities, ranging from high energy bengals to lower energy, elderly tabbies. I will follow your cat’s needs when it comes to my visit with them, ensuring they are as comfortable as possible, getting what they need out of it. Cats have boundaries that I feel need to be respected, and I would never push a cat into a situation where it would be made scared or uncomfortable.

I’m a very clean and organized person, so I’m good at keeping a litter box tidy, adhering to strict or complicated feeding schedules, and ensuring cats feel safe and respected. I tend to be a low-key person, preferring calm and quiet atmospheres, so I feel that cats tend to be comfortable around me because of that, though I can be a very high energy playmate if need be! I will take care to tailor the experience to your cat and its personality.

I’m very flexible and willing to try and accommodate any special requests you may have to ensure your cat has the best experience possible with me as their sitter.

I look forward to working with you and tell your cat hello for me!

Learn More About Melanie

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

Though I’ve never been a cat sitter professionally until now, I’ve cared for cats my whole life. Over the course of my childhood to now, I’ve had 5 family cats and 1 of my own, giving me a lot of experience in different cat personalities and breeds. I’ve also been a cat sitter for friends and family for many years.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I have a cat named Gillian at home. She is a black tabby cat with big orange eyes and a big personality.

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

I like to try and ease into working with more timid cats, trying to remain calm and quiet to maintain a comfortable environment. If a cat is anxious and avoiding me, I like to sit on the floor and talk quietly and sweetly until they are ready to interact. I get on their level and let them come to me on their own terms, not forcing touch or interaction if they are uncomfortable.

I was very anxious to leave my cat for the first time but was very assured throughout my entire vacation by Melanie that Pinto Bean was okay! She sent updates with every visit along with videos and photos to ease my mind.

Melanie’s flexibility is great! We found out our usual sitter just moved out of town but were able to connect with Melanie right away and set up care for our kitty. Looking forward to working with her again 💛

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 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 Meet & Greet!
