this was my first time working with Deanna, and I’m thrilled to say it went amazing. and she loved Digs, who can be a bit of a curmudgeon at times, but according to Deanna he was a perfect gentleman under her care! went above and beyond in winning him over and updating me!

Learn More About Deanna

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

I have been a cat mom in the past with as many as 3 cats and 3 dogs in my home at once and it made for so much fun! I currently have a dog that is a cat hater 😢 So I started cat sitting a couple of years ago to get my cat lovins. I also feed neighborhood/feral cats, squirrels, birds, and the random raccoon or possum 💞

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Seeing all the different personalities and catitudes 😻 I like trying a variety of activities to entice kitty engagement. If a kitty is shy I will just sit quietly and occasionally speak to them, ask how they’re doing or tell them what a good kitty they are.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I had one client that had 2 special needs senior cats (medications). They have both since passed 💔 and I miss them terribly. One of them was named Turtle and he had been rescued from a severely abusive environment so was extremely skittish around new people, and he needed insulin. I was always super quiet and gentle while giving him his shots and meds and always spoke softly telling him what a good boy he was and he had a mom and dad that loved him so much. After lots of time (maybe a year?) he let me pick him up and hold him! I could have cried! I did have my video recording and sent it to his mom. To this day I pull that video up and watch how happy he made me. RIH Turtle and Emma 🐾💞

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a favorite feral that I call Bob. He always comes at 7-8am and again at 8:30-9pm. He’s gotten closer to me over the past 3 years but not close enough for me to touch him. I love him.

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

A complimentary meet & greet where we can all meet face to face. Walk thru approved areas, see where food, water, litter, and play areas are located. I like a client who provides a detailed list of expectations, verbal &/or in writing are great!

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

Always use extra caution when opening doors, watching for any signs that may appear out of the ordinary, and staying in contact with the parents during the reservation.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes. I love that I am in a place in life that I can be available for short notice, vacations, holidays.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Any toy that will allow me to interact with a cat is my favorite! The wand and the laser are 2 favorites.

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

I just sit quietly and let them come to me if they want 🐾 I will speak occasionally to tell them they are a good kitty or ask if they’re doing ok.

Deanna is an amazing caregiver for our cat Mimi. She’s on time, and shows lots of love for our little one. Deanna even went out of her way to buy Mimi gifts to spoil her! This is our 2nd time reaching out to Deanna and just like the first, we have nothing but great things to say… 10/10 highly recommend!!

Deanna is a great sitter! She took extra care of my girl who is sometimes finicky about eating and taking her medicine. I would definitely book with her again.

DeDe takes care of my diabetic cat Turtle on a frequent basis. He is very scared of strangers and takes an extremely long time to trust new people. DeDe has always been wonderfully gentle with him, let him run away after his shots, and sends updates despite his very hard to photograph self. He has started to trust her and it makes my heart so happy. I highly recommend DeDe to take care of your kitties 🐱

Deanna was incredible. She always sent pictures, videos, and updates on how they were doing. You can tell she is a true animal lover, and wants your kitties to be as happy and comfortable as possible. We were gone over Christmas and she even brought little Christmas themed toys for our cats. We will definitely be using her again!

Dede was an amazing cat-sitter for our cat Mimi! Dede got along with Her right away and was very responsive while I was away from home. Each day, Dede would send me pics/ vids of their time together. Since this was during holidays, Dede went out of her way to buy her cat toys! Would def recommend!!

Deanna was great - Professor was thrilled to have his dinner delivered by Deanna. I appreciated the check-in and photo during her visit. Appreciate that she was also able to administer his insulin shot. Peace of mind to have someone that can provide care on Professor’s diabetic dictated schedule.

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 $25.00. 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.
