Learn More About Stephh

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy getting to meet new kitty babies and taking care of their needs while their humans cannot be there to do it!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two kitties! Luci is my 13 year old sassy lady tuxedo who loves to play with her laser pointer and cuddle on top of the couch. Sanji is my 10 month old crazy grey tabby baby boy who loves to run around like a cheetah and perch at the top of his cat tree.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I like to have completely open communication with the kitty parents and establish what they expect out of their care! Making sure doors are closed behind me, that there is nothing that the babies can potentially get into that would be harmful, making sure they are properly fed and hydrated, and that their surroundings and boxes are nice and clean to maintain normalcy and comfort.

I needed rescuing. After spending a year in Iowa, I was in desperate need of a reliable cat sitter for a family trip. Still building friendships here, I wanted a trusted company instead of relying on a non-existent “family network.” Most services I’d seen were geared toward dog walking, but I wanted something specifically for my cats. That’s when I found Meowtel—and I was instantly in love. I discovered several great matches, but one sitter in particular, Steph, stood out. She was wonderful: highly communicative, friendly, and made it so easy for us to feel our pets were safe while we were away. We’ll be using Meowtel—and Steph—for all our future trips!

Stephh did a wonderful job taking care of my cat. She did her best to give her medicine (even though my cat is stubborn) and made sure she had all the necessities. I especially appreciated her texts, pics, and videos of my cat!

Frequently Asked Questions

West Des Moines cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $21.00. 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.
