Learn More About Gabby

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 3 kitties! Ramona is a chatty, independent, beautiful tortoiseshell lady who loves to burrow under blankets. Frankie, Ramona’s bonded, littermate, is a shy, very handsome and sweet gray stripped tabby who can’t go without nighttime snuggles. Harold is an energetic, outdoor loving (screened in catio only) orange tabby who enjoys booty pats. I can’t imagine them not being the center of our family!

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

Allowing someone to care for your cat(s) is an important decision, and your comfort is just as important as your kitty’s. Choose a cat sitter you feel comfortable with and trust. Meet your cat sitter and ask questions to get a better understanding of how they’ll care for your kitty. I hope that person is me 😊

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

I always talk with the cat parent to understand what will make them and the anxious kitty most comfortable. I never force interactions as I don’t want to cause additional stress. It might sound silly, but using a calming voice, I’ll talk to kitty and take time to see how they react. I might hold out my hand and say “Hi, Bean. I’m here to hangout with you for a bit. How are you doing? Do you want some pets?” From there, if kitty doesn’t want to hang, I’ll give them space. If they seem interested, I’ll follow their lead in how they want to interact. Every kitty will have a different approach!

This was my first time using Meowtel or any app to find a cat sitter so i was worried at first, but when Gabby came over and my kitty who hardly tolerates my presence took a liking to her i knew she was trustworthy. I had her visit twice while I was gone and both times I got a long update of how my kitties were doing on top of a ton of photos and videos that eased any worries. I came back today to a clean litter box, full food/water, and two very happy kitties. I highly recommend her and thank you so much again Gabby!!

This is the second time we use Gabby, the previous time was just for a short weekend and this was a little bit of an extended vacation. Gabby was wonderful. My cats are senior cats and I was very concerned about leaving them , but Gabby was always on time for her multiple visits a day, gave us wonderful updates and photos , got their medications in properly. We couldn’t be happier with her service

We have two super senior cats and are always nervous to leave them. Gabby helped take great care of them and accommodated all of their little quirks. Gabby gave us very detailed updates and sent cute photos and videos. We will definitely book again!

The absolute best! She went above and beyond for my shy little orange tabby cat. She charmed him out of his shell and gave him lots of attention. She also provided consistent updates, videos, and photos while I was out of the country. Will definitely ask her to cat sit again!

Gabby took excellent care of my kitties while I was gone for two weeks. I have a very shy one, and he warmed up to Gabby very quickly; she really did a great job looking out for his comfort. She was kind enough to clean up when the cats managed to knock over their fountain! It was great receiving updates from Gabby, and I have some adorable pictures to add to my collection. Thanks so much!

I was hesitant to leave my cat, but Gabby made it so easy! She became best friends with him and took great care of him. Her communications are strong and let me know how it went every day. I will be using her in the future.

Gabby was wonderful! She cared lovingly and conscientiously for my cats, and followed through with all the details I asked of her. Jasper kitty adored Gabby, and even shy, hiding Mitzi remained confident enough to eat all her food once Gabby had departed. I felt totally relaxed while on my trip because I knew my cats were in good hands. I’ll be reaching out to Gabby again when I travel in the future.

Having never used a cat sitter before, I was definitely nervous. Gabby was able to accommodate my last minute reservation. She was great with Luna. She provided many updates via chat while sending photos and videos. Thanks to Gabby, I was able to leave my kitten at home and not have to worry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Deerfield cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $33.00. 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.
