I'm Miranda | Cat Sitting in Indianapolis, IN

Hello! My name is Miranda and I have over five years worth of experience working with cats in various settings! Outside of living with a handful of them, I have worked with them in shelters, vet clinics, and have house sat for many of them! I have a lot of experience working with scared and fractious cats, and even enjoy getting to spend time with the ones that are a little more upset about making new friends! I have experience administering medications and helpin...

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

I love doing meet and greets! Getting to know clients and their kitties is one of the best parts of the job! These give you a chance to ask each other questions and figure out expectations. I especially prefer getting the chance to learn what is most important to the cat parent where their cat is involved! Once getting to know each other, I love to meet the cat while the parent is there. That way you can see a bit more of their purrsonality in a more comfortable environment. From there I love taking photos and sending updates while checking in with the cats, so that the parents never feel like they are too far away!

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

I personally will lock all doors behind me, and keep other doors inside the house the way that I found them. If doors are closed it is usually for a reason, as experienced with my own kitties! I also like to do a walkthrough when I arrive and before I leave to make sure there is nothing dangerous for them in their reach, such as twist ties or small bits of plastic. I believe communication is key, and will openly discuss any concerns I have regarding the safety of the cats in my care. I do not post photos of the cats I am sitting to ensure no part of a client's home is visible to untrusted eyes.

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

I have a cat at home that is very fractious and have spent a lot of time helping scared cats. I find it extremely helpful to let them choose their own adventure, and I do not force any interaction unless safety is a concern. I like to offer snacks and enrichment to show them that I am a friend to them, and have found that many of them enjoy soft conversations. If a cat doesn't want to come out, that is okay by me! We can just be friends from afar!

Miranda is fantastic with cats and really knows how to handle their behaviors well. She has watched my cats on several occasions and she cares for each of their needs and quirks so well. She really takes her time to get to know them so she can provide them with the best care. She is also great with medications! Miranda is the perfect person to watch your kitties while you’re away!

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

Indianapolis cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $28.00. 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.
