What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

There are a few things I would need to be set up for success to take care of your furry loved one: 1. To meet you and them! We'll do a meet and greet. :) I'd love to have an idea of their purrsonality and what you and them like/dislike. 2. A list/description of the cat's daily routine, needs, and special requirements. 3. Confirmation of visits dates/durations, sitting/communication expectations, and if there's an emergency contact/vet I should know. And we'll go from there❤️🐱

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

Clear and open communication and expectations with the owner. Safety is my #1 job as a caretaker. I diligently follow the description/list of needs given to me by the owner because they know their home and their cat best. I aim to make my visits go above and beyond and provide a pleasant environment and visit for the cat in need.

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

In my foster mom days I was given a lot of feral-ish cats and kittens. I've also worked with cats who have attachment issues from their owners. The key for both is patience and accepting them as they are. There's only so much you can do in a short sitting, but I opt to show them kindness and space unless something else is arranged with their owner training-wise.

Alexandra

Alexandria was one of the best cat sitters I've ever had. She was very communicative and asked really good questions in our initial consultation. Provided updates and pictures after each visit and even cleaned up the litter box area. Definitely peace of mind for my next trip. Thank you, Alexandria!

Alex was great with my kitties! On her first visit, one of my cats felt comfortable enough to play with her just like he does with me. It took no time at all for him to warm up. She is very patient and understands cat behavior well. Her updates are a joy to read, I will definitely be booking her again :)

Alex did a fantastic job watching my senior cat Mac for a week! At the meet and greet she asked very thorough questions and also took notes. She also offered to water my plants. During the visits she always sent me pictures and videos of my cat eating, playing, and just getting a lot of attention. I was always alerted to when she would be arriving at my home which gave me peace of mind. Her rates are very reasonable too. I will book her again!

Frequently Asked Questions

Wheeling cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $32.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free 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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
