Cat Sitting in Des Moines, IA

I love cats, they each have their own personalities and opinions. No two are the same. I currently have 3 cats with my husband and they can be a handful but they bring so much joy.
Our family cat lived to be almost 20, she ruled the roost until last year. She did end up with a thyroid condition as she got older, and we went from pills to liquid to finally food as the final treatment method. Never stopped being sassy though.
I have dealt with almost all types of cats from kittens up to seniors, including special needs...

I have dealt with almost all types of cats from kittens up to seniors, including special needs. I can administer any medication or care needed as I am a registered veterinary technician, just currently not working at a clinic.
I am now certified in pet care sitting.
I want owners to feel that their cats are safe and well taken care of, almost spoiled even, when I'm cat sitting .
For COVID precautions, I am fully vaccinated, even with the booster.
I'm currently in the Des Moines Area, but I'll travel mostly anywhere for the job. I love being able to keep them in the safety of their own home so traveling doesn't really bother me.

Aimee has a professional attitude and did a great job following instructions for cat care and locking up afterward. During the meet and greet she asked all the right questions, making us comfortable leaving our beloved kitty in her care. We will call on her for help again!

We hired Aimee to watch our 2 cats while we were out of town for a 5 day business trip. She visited them at the same 2 times every day, sent us amazing pictures & videos, and gave us an update every time. She was amazing and we will definitely be hiring her again! Thank you, you’re the best :)

Aimee was the perfect sitter for our 2 friendly frisky finicky felines. They warmed right up to her from the start. She is very caring and dependable. We would definitely use her again & recommend her.

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.

Des Moines cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $22.00. 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!
