Cat Sitting in Indianapolis, IN

Hello - I am an avid fan of cats and their always unique personalities. I have 4 cats presently, each with their own attitudes and personalities. My oldest is 15, so I have experience with senior babies on down to kittens. I have experience with basic cat ailments, including ear and eye drops, plus pills. I like to give new cats time... Hello - I am an avid fan of cats and their always unique personalities. I have 4 cats presently, each with their own attitudes and personalities. My oldest is 15, so I have experience with senior babies on down to kittens. I have experience with basic cat ailments, including ear and eye drops, plus pills. I like to give new cats time to get to know me, sitting down at their level and waiting for them to come to me. I work from home so often have flexibility in my day to accommodate visits. And I like to let the cat/cats dictate the way the visit will go. Do they need all the attention first or would they rather eat and then have play time? Each cat is different.

Learn More About Samantha

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have four cats - Mia (12 female grey/brown), Subaru/Suby (7 male black), Tahoe (4 male Siberian fluff ball), and Mazda (9 mo male orange ball of chaos)

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am generally available for most holidays. Thanksgiving is usually the one I’m generally unavailable but that can vary year to year.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Current favorites are the catnip pineapples from Yeoooow and spring toys. Each cat is different in what they like to play with but I can get all four of mine to play with one or both of these.

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

I do my very best to work on their schedule. Just sitting in a room with them to give them time to get used to my presence, or letting them smell me every time before an interaction. Even if it takes walking on eggshells to move slowly past so as not to startle.

Samantha went above and beyond! even coming twice on Christmas Day. she cared very well for our two kitties (one of which has a condition that makes him wobbly and fall a lot) and she even cleaned our boy and his messes when we said she didn't need to. we could tell she genuinely likes cats and took extra time to connect with them. we would definitely book with her again.

Samantha watched our cats over Christmas, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for better care. She didn’t cut corners on time or attention—even on the holiday itself—and went above and beyond by bringing special treats to share with my boys. If you’ve read any of my previous reviews, you already know Samantha is my go-to cat sitter. She’s reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. Most importantly, my cats absolutely love her—and that says everything.

Samantha was amazing as always! She frequently checks on my 2 kitties while I’m out of town. My cats warmed up to her on day one and love when she comes over to play. This time, there was a problem with the litter box not cycling as it should and my finicky kitty pottied outside the box. She fixed it, cleaned up the mess and let me know about it after. It is so helpful to have someone you can trust to check in on your cats, and I have that in Samantha and feel so incredibly grateful for it. I think we’re at over 20 visits now and she’s not canceled on me a single time. She’s highly dependable, has great attention to detail and loves my girls for me when I can’t.

Samantha was the perfect cat sitter. Our meet and greet went wonderfully and her visits were always full of pictures and videos as well as updates. My cats loved her, even the shy one. I’ll definitely have her back in the future!

Samantha was a breeze to work with! We left our anxious boy who takes daily medication in good hands, she became quick BFFs with our social butterfly, and charmed our reclusive lady with ease and Churus. Easy to coordinate pick up & drop off of keys with, and her schedule was flexible to accommodate routine for our cats daily. Will schedule with Samantha again!

Samantha was great with our two cats and all the household details. loved the pics, videos, and updates she sent. she made a special effort with our shy Cali to make sure she was ok. she had a great suggestion about leaving keys in an accessible place in case our return was delayed and it was, so that was critical to her being able to care for our kitties an extra, unplanned day. Great, thoughtful, caring sitter. we would not hesitate to book her again!

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.

Indianapolis cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $27.00. 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 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!
