I have loved cats for as long as I can remember, growing up surrounded by their personalities, quirks, and quiet companionship. From playful kittens to calm senior cats, I genuinely enjoy spending time engaging them with toys, attention, and affection. I am attentive to their needs, ensuring they are fed properly, have clean spaces, and feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I understand the importance of routine, patience, and gentle care, and I take pride in building trust with every cat I meet. My goal is to provide loving care so owners feel confident their cats are cared for.

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

I have Been cat sitting throughout the last 10 years ,dogs too, and have loved getting to know each one and how to tailor to their needs.

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

I always ask the parents what their routines are for the cats, if they take any medicine and if so, when and how much, what their favorite toys are, where are their favorite spot in the house is and what their personality is like so I know how to engage with them. I can usually figure out the personality upon meeting them!

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

When caring for timid or anxious cats, I prioritize creating a calm, low-stress environment where they feel safe and in control. I move slowly, keep my voice gentle, and allow the cat to approach me on their own terms rather than forcing interaction. I pay close attention to body language and respect their boundaries, giving them space when needed while still maintaining a comforting presence. I also try to keep their routine consistent, as familiarity helps reduce anxiety. Over time, I build trust through patience, quiet companionship, and positive reinforcement, helping them feel more secure and comfortable.

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. 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 free Meet & Greet!
