I have done drop in visits and house sitting for cats since 2023. Under your instructions, I will feed and provide water to your cats. Andof course pets and play time!
I have experience with shy and under-socialized cats. On the other hand, if your cat is very active,, that's great too! I want to give pets and play time based on your cat's comfort level.
I am not afraid to drive in bad weather. I have a vehicle equipped to drive in winter conditions.

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been cat sitting for friends since 2010, and cat sitting for clients since 2023. I have also volunteered with cats since 2011.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I current have 5 senior cats, all rescues. Their names are: Little Face (Funny Face, 6 lbs but you can hear her meow 3 mines away). Motorboat (Moboat, leash trained). Eddie (Mah!, has his own social media profile). Alphie (Squeaky Pants, is missing most of his teeth and unrelatedly was radioactive for a month). Scout (Funny Potato, does not have this meowing thing down).
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
My steps are: Sit on floor or chair in the same room as the cat. Cats tend to like "parallel play." They like knowing you're nearby, but they may not want a lot of excitement or petting. Offer hand as a fist for sniffing. Cats can't see very well up close (but could you see someone waving their finger 3 inches in front of your face?). A fist is about the size of a cat's head. If I get kitty approval, that is rubbing their cheek on the side of my hand, proceed to trying to pet head or back. Avoid tails and tummies. Do not chase cat. Stop immediately if cat growls, and stay still.

Ames cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $20.00. 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!
