I have one cat of my own, Magpie, who I absolutely adore! My visits are 20 - 90 minutes, with lots of playtime and cuddles (or treats and personal space if that's more your cat's speed). I promise to make your kitty feel loved and cared for in your absence, and will share lots of pictures so you always know your cat is in the best hands! I can't wait to meet you and spend time with your adorable furry friends!

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

I have been cat sitting for 6 years now! I have my favorite regular clients but love getting to meet new people and new feline friends! I’ve always had cats growing up and have one of my own now (Magpie) so I have lots of experience around cats and love sharing my time with your furry friends!

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

Inviting someone new into your home and kitties lives can be stressful, but reading through reviews and other cat parents’ experiences can help you choose the sitter that’s right for you, and feel confident that they are vetted and experienced!

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

I’ve met plenty of kitties who take a little bit longer to warm up! I take a slow and careful approach, letting them first come to me, smell me, and let them warm up on their own time. Sometimes treats help too! 😉

Shelby was fantastic all the way around. I received photos every day of the cat and the care she was given. Clean water bowls with ice, fresh food and some playtime and love. I came home after almost two weeks to a clean home, Shelby left everything just like when I left. That made coming home even better. My cat looked healthy and happy. I highly recommend Shelby.

Shelby is a perfect sitter. She was excellent at making sure feeding my two cats and keeping the litter box clean a top priority. My cats are shy and she took pictures of them daily to make sure I knew they were safe and sound. She definitely went above and beyond & I recommend her to anyone.

Scheduling Shelby was a dream! She was very responsive, and I knew right away at the meet-n-greet she’d be great with my two cats. Incredibly thankful to have the peace of mind that they had kind and responsible care.

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!
