My name is Sarah, I am 22 years old and a recent graduate from Bradley University. I am looking to make some extra cash while I hunt for a job in my field. I am extremely driven and hard working, and I have a soft spot in my heart for cats. I grew up in a home with 2 kitties and they were my first real best friends. They were born around the same time I was so we literally grew up together. I also had a dog, chickens, a rabbit, a lizard, and a guinea pig. I have pet sit for my friends/family and love cuddling and hanging out with the cats. I also have put in 40+ hours at TAPs hanging out with the cats/dogs.

Learn More About Sarah

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Cuddling and making sure that the cats have what they need. I also love playing with the cats and getting some energy out!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Unfortunately I don’t anymore, but the cats I grew up with were named Jasmine and Wrigley! They were sisters, and we found them on the street abandoned as kittens.

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

Leave them alone, make small movements, let them come to you. It needs to be their choice to let you in!

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.

Pekin cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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!
