I'm Melissa | Cat Sitting in Smyrna, GA

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 3 younger boys that I adopted during the pandemic. Two of them are litter mates and get along part of the time. 🙄 They came from a local charity, while my 3rd was thrown out a car window and rescued by a delivery driver who I ran into shortly after. I took him off her hands.

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

It’s ok to be nervous and ask questions. It’s also ok to give as many instructions as you feel comfortable with. I have been there, using Meowtel, but once you realize we work as a team to take care of your cat, you’ll be glad you took that trip.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am usually available most holidays, often traveling during less busy times of the year. I have used Meowtel for my own needs too, so am happy to provide the service for others in need of help.

Melissa was amazing. I had to travel unexpectedly for a funeral and decided to try Meowtel for the first time. Melissa immediately accepted my reservation and put me at ease. She was kind, communicative, so sweet and patient with my little men, and sent the cutest pictures of them. I will 100% use her again any time I travel. Thank you Melissa! 💕

Melissa was absolutely amazing! She gave the best updates every visit, with the most amazing photos!!! We had family gathering around to see what pictures of our little guys she sent next. She was accommodating and flexible when we had a few plans change last minute, and was even so sweet to offer to clean up the litter they inevitably drag all over the hard wood. I found myself forgetting about meal times only to pick up my phone to see she’d already been to see our boys and sent wonderful updates. Her updates and pictures were a bright spot in what turned out to be a tough holiday season for us. We will definitely be booking with Melissa again!!

Melissa was wonderful! my cat warmed up to her immediately which isn't usually the case with everyone! and he seemed calmed when she was there. she was detailed with what she did while there and sent pics of my cat each time. this helped put an ease to my mind as this was the first time i left my cat this long! I definitely recommend Melissa to anyone! she really is a cat whisperer.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

Smyrna cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $27.00. 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.
