I'm Julie | Cat Sitting in Indianapolis, IN
Hi everyone, I’m Julie! Here’s a little about me, my cat-sitting experience, and my own cats, each of which has made a permanent impression on my heart ❤️ Me: I’m a professional singer and student dancer based in Indianapolis so my schedule is quite flexible (with the exception of occasional evening rehearsals/performances). With cat sitting, I have at times taken reservations that were last-minute or outside of my area, so please always feel free to message me to see if I can help you! My sitting schedule is often packed so I do block off some of my calendar to protect down time, but like I said, if you’re ever in a fix or just planning a trip and see that my calendar is closed, reach out to me first and we’ll see what we can do! Also, if you request “anytime” visits vs. a specific time of day, it’s more likely I’ll be able to fit you in last minute ❤️ 1x a day visits vs. 2x a day visits are also most accommodable on short notice! 🗓️ As a sitter, I love taking notes, paying attention to the details, and giving your cat the space or play they need to be their happiest, healthiest selves. And speaking of health, I will always mask at meet-and-greets if requested! Also if you or your kiddos just have a cold but you have to meet before you travel, please just let me know and I'll mask up! That way I can aim to be my healthiest self while taking care of your kitties too. I am my mother’s caretaker and she's immunocompromised due to cancer, so I am very proactive in keeping us both safe ❤️ I am fully vaccinated and boosted against Covid. I deeply understand how hard it is to leave your babies at home, especially when they have extra important needs like scheduled feedings and medication. It can feel really scary to trust someone else with them but can be such a huge relief when you know you have a sitter you can count on! In particular, my sweet cat Turtle was abused before he was rescued, and so he was TERRIFIED of strangers, but as a diabetic he had to have his insulin shots like clockwork. After 8 months of getting to know our own beloved sitter, Turtle no longer tried to hide or flee, but instead became his completely sweet and chatty self when she was around, and even let her pick him up and hold him! I've had the same kind of experiences with my own skittish kitty clients, and I know how special that trust is and how wonderful it is to give your clients that same peace of mind that my sitter provides for me. I want to pay that forward and provide that exact same level of care for your babies when you're on the road! I service central Indianapolis, including but not limited to the neighborhoods of Irvington, Woodruff Place, Fountain Square, Old Northside, Brookside, Meridian-Kessler, Twin Aire, Lockerbie Square, Forest Manor, Broad Ripple, IUPUI, Tibbs, Beech Grove, Martindale-Brightwood, Castleto...

Julie's Reviews
Tanya
This was my first time using Meowtel, and I couldn’t have chosen a more purrfect sitter for my two calico girls! Both kitties warmed up to Julie immediately at the meet and greet, which honestly surprised me. I usually feel super anxious leaving my cats, but I knew they were in the best hands with her. Julie went above and beyond to keep this cat mom updated—with tons of photos and videos that really eased my mind. I’d reserve her again in a heartbeat!
Breena
I, and more importantly, my catkids love Julie. This is the second time she has taken care of them and does an excellent job with them. She provides daily updates and many photos. I know that they will be well cared for when in her charge. I will continue to be her client and would recommend her to anyone who needs a cat sitter.
Sara
Julie is the best!! She is a natural cat charmer, and she made sure my guy, Olaf, had fun and got energy out during her visits. He clearly appreciated it, showing her lots of affection. Julie also gives very thorough updates, and she even let us know that our house was ok after a big storm.
Jennifer
Julie is an awesome sitter! polite, friendly and very responsive! we always use her!
Michelle
Amazing as always! Julie not only does a wonderful job connecting with my finicky kitty, but she is so reliable and I always know what’s going on and that Digs is loved and cared for in my absence!

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 $24.00. 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.
