Steph took such great care of our cat while we were away. She sent detailed updates after every visit along with lots of wonderful photos, which made it easy to relax knowing he was in good hands. She was wonderful about administering his medication and keeping him on his usual routines. It was clear that he had lots of fun during their playtime together. We came home to a happy, content cat and are so grateful for the loving care Steph provided. We would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic pet sitter.

Stephanie took excellent care of our cat. she administered insulin and kept to her schedule. additionally our cat looked very happy in the many photos she sent us.

We have two cats, one very shy and skeptical of new people and the other initially timid but very needy for attention. Stephanie was able to earn their trust immediately, even our shy one that sometimes our sitters only see hiding under the bed. Stephanie provided lots of updates and GREAT pictures. She demonstrated a strong understanding of cat needs for variety of intellectually stimulating activities. She frequently combined favorite toys to make them more interesting. We could tell they were enjoying their time with Stephanie, and knowing the cats were in such good hands definitely made relaxing on vacation easier. We absolutely would invite Stephanie back and highly recommend her services.

Stephanie was absolutely amazing! She took notes when we had the meeting before the reservation, and she sent such cute photos of my cats everyday with detailed updates on how they’ve been eating, drinking and playing! 100/10 highly recommend her!!

Stephanie was incredible!! The Ladies absolutely loved her. I have two cats and one is shy, but she warmed up to Stephanie on day 1! Usually it takes 2-4 days 💅 Stephanie provided thoughtful updates every day and sent amazing photos. Leaving my cats always causes me anxiet, but I felt very at ease knowing that Stephanie was there for them. I would absolutely recommend Stephanie, she’s the best!

Stephanie went above and beyond for our cats. So gentle and very reliable! Quick responses and sweet pictures. We had an emergency and Stephanie was happy to accommodate which was such a relief for this prone to worrying cat mom! Thank you, Stephanie! We will definitely be booking with them again.

Stephanie was a champ with handling meds and even cleaned up some pee on the floor. It’s clear our very nervous cat is comfortable with her from all the fun pics Stephanie sends. I love her thorough communication and thoughtfulness.

Stephanie went above and beyond sitting for my cat and cockatiels on Christmas Eve. She did exactly what we requested and kept in contact, letting us know how it was going and even sent us some very cute pictures when we were missing all of our babies. Stephanie is a very sweet and attentive sitter. I will definitely hire her again next time I go out of town.

Stephanie was amazing! My two cats immediately warmed up to her and she made sure to send photos and detailed updates everyday. She gave them such great attention and made me feel very comfortable about being away from them knowing they were in such great hands!

Stephanie’s got that magic touch—a genuine cat whisperer! She had my shy sweet boy immediately socializing with her, keeping him well fed, played with, and cared for! She even helped trim his claws 💅🏼 I HIGHLY recommend using her for any and all of your kitty needs.

Stephanie is such a fantastic cat sitter! Right from the initial meet and greet my cat Blep was more comfortable with her than she often is with strangers. Throughout her visits she was very thorough with updates and took fantastic photos (I may need to get a few framed 😸). Definitely would recommend and book her again.

Stephanie is always amazing. She keeps our nervous cat calm and manages to get the most hilarious photos. She can handle medications like a pro so I’m able to enjoy being away without worrying about my baby.

Stephanie was so great! This was the first time I've used Meowtel and actually the first time someone that wasn't friend or family watched my cats (although she certainly feels like a friend now!). She was quick to respond and came through when we needed a last minute sitter for a trip. She put my mind at ease with detailed check-ins and nabbed cute pictures of our kitties each time she stopped by. Our cats got comfortable with her quickly, too! Would definitely love to book with Stephanie again in the future.

Stephanie is amazing. one of my cats sits on her lap and he does that with no one else but me. She is clearly a cat charmer.

Stephanie went above and beyond caring for our girls! They seemed to enjoy that she brought a new toy for them to try out, and she left the place cleaner than she found it. We will definitely hire Stephanie again!

Stephanie was very professional, yet playful with my cats. I really appreciated the volume information she gave me during the check in, she reflected on the mood - cleanliness and overall time spent with the cats. Very happy with my experience. Thanks !

Stephanie is both a wonderful person and a wonderful cat sitter. Not only took care of and played with my boys but also helped clean my kitchen and litter areas??? Amazing stuff.

Stephanie is the best. I live alone so my cats don’t get to socialize much with other people. They have really warmed up to her, which I appreciate. They are less fearful and more curious now when family or friends visit. Big win! And I credit this completely to her willingess to play with them on the floor and make time for them to get on her lap.

The reservation went very well. I appreciated all the updates and prompt feedback on my timid senior cat. I highly recommend Stephanie and can't say enough about how good my experience was.

Stephanie is wonderful! She's cared for my cats twice now and was superb each time. She also goes the extra mile to incorporate the silly little things the cats are used to in their routine. I'm so thankful that I can know my kitties are well-cared for when I can't be there for them.

I highly recommend Stephanie!! I knew immediately I had found the purr-fect cat sitter for my elderly little guy, Rex. I appreciated the txt updates and always timely visits 2x a day. I was worried about leaving my cat alone for 3 days at the age of 15 with health concerns - But all went well and that’s thanks to Stephanie.

Stephanie is a very well organized, cheerful and enthusiastic young woman. She took notes on our initial meeting and followed our instructions meticulously. Every day she was sending us a short report of her visit with our cat Snoopy and a bunch of very skillfully taken photos. When we came home we found a very happy cat, looking healthy and well taken care of. We will definitely hire Stephanie again for any future travels and can’t recommend her enough.

Stephanie has quickly become one of my favorite sitters! I left overseas for two weeks, and she kept me well informed how my cat was doing the whole time. Communication with Stephanie was excellent. She gave my senior cat his medication as prescribed and lots of play time too. She also took over visits from other sitters who had emergencies come up during my travels without missing any time. Your cat will be in great hands with Stephanie!

My cat Bean can definitely have an attitude sometimes, but Stephanie was great with her and sent great pictures of their play time!

Stephanie was amazing!!! She gave so many great updates and photos of our little man. Highly recommend her to anyone!!

Stephanie is amazing! She took excellent care of my usually anxious cat while we were away, keeping us informed and sending us photos that showed how much our cat was enjoying their time together. I'd hire Stephanie again in a heartbeat.

Stephanie is an exceptional cat sitter. She goes above and beyond to care and connect with even the most difficult of cats. She has a deep understanding of what individual cats need and want. The extra effort she puts in to enrich their environments and engage in play really made the difference and allowed for me to enjoy my trip without the worry of leaving my high maintenance cat alone for so long. I will absolutely book her services for future trips. Thank you Stephanie!

Stephanie is the only sitter that our cat, Becky, will allow to pet her. It’s so much easier to travel knowing Becky is with someone she trusts.

It is always a relief to know my kitties are being well taken care of. They obviously enjoyed their time with her and I enjoyed the really excellent pictures!

Stephanie was wonderful with my cats! They loved her right away, and she took great care of them while I was away. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands, and she kept me updated throughout. Highly recommend!

Stephanie is hands down the best cat sitter I’ve ever had. She is so thoughtful in how she engages with my cat and ensures the environment is interesting and reduces boredom. So important for a play motivated cat that is left alone! She is also very generous and caring.

Absolutely thrilled with the wonderful and caring service Stephanie provided. My cat LOVES her and she is incredibly responsible and reliable. She even left our home better than she found it! We are so happy with Stephanie and we're definitely going to book with her again.

Stephanie is a SWEETHEART! She is seriously the best. She went above and beyond for my cats and made me feel so comfortable during the 5 day period I was gone. She sends the best pictures and videos and detailed summaries of the visits. She also spent lots of time playing with my cats and they clearly love her. I even came home to the sweetest welcome home letter from her. Couldn't recommend her enough!

Stephanie always does a fantastic job with our girls! She also goes above and beyond to care for them and leave the house on great shape.

Stephanie did a wonderful job. I will be hiring her again.

Stephanie is extremely reliable, easy to talk to, and passionate about cats. My wife and I are completely at ease anytime our cat is in Stephanie's care. I would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and high quality cat sitter!
