Learn More About Briana

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

I have been cat sitting and cat watching full time for 5 years. I have dealt with cats of all ages and all various health issues.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 3 cats. I have my Royal grays. Their names are Granite and Slate. Slate is a Russian Blue and Granite is a Korat. I also have a tuxedo cat his name is Loking because he reigns over my royal grays.

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

To ask questions and to do a meet and greet. You gain a lot of knowledge with meeting someone prior to see if they are a good fit for you and also your fur baby.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I always ask for a meet and greet prior. So I know where everything is and can possibly see the cat or cats prior. The cats tend to not hide or not hide very long when they have seen me before. I am very communicative and I love taking and sending photos.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am available most major holidays. I am available in the mornings on Christmas Eve and evenings on Christmas day. All other holidays I normally have full availability.

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

I am very calm and quiet. If they are very shy I sit in their eyesight and allow them to come up to me first. I never force them to meet me. Once the "ice" has broken they are very affectionate and know I'm a safe person for them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ankeny cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $22.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
