Learn More About Deborah

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

🐈I have three decades of experience caring for cats, including kittens, seniors, and other special needs. Five years ago I moved to a new part of town and since then have become a regular cat, plant, and house sitter for neighbors and friends.

Are you usually available during holidays?

🌅As a cat parent, I understand the stress around organizing pet care on top of holiday travel. For your convenience and peace of mind, I am available for most major and minor holidays, including summer breaks. Spending Christmas visiting kitties fills me with joy!

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

💕Anxious, timid kitties have a special spot in my heart because my girl Basil is an anxious and timid little friend. Like with any cat, I want them to meet me on their own terms and not force anything. For an especially timid or anxious cat, I will do my best to not startle them by stepping quietly and avoiding any sudden movements or noises. If they’re in hiding when it’s meal time, I will bring the food to them and sit quietly nearby so they can see I’m friendly. I may also talk to them in a soothing voice or offer some treats/toys to coax them out of their shell. If the anxious cat chooses not to come out while I’m there, that’s their choice. I will respect it and keep trying a little each visit.

Deborah knows about cats! Not only has she taken care of my cats very professionally and thoroughly, we’ve also engaged in many interesting conversations about cats that shows me she’s truly passionate and well researched on different behavioral and health issues in cats. Deborah is thorough and careful in her service. When she visits, I know my cats are being cared for by a true cat lover and informed caregiver.

Frequently Asked Questions

Urbana cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $20.00. 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.
