I'm Julie | Cat Sitting in Indianapolis, IN

Hi everyone, I’m Julie and I’m so excited to meet you and your furbabies! Here’s a little about me and my cats, each of which has made a permanent impression on my heart ❤️ Me: I’m a professional musician based in Indianapolis (I do opera and musical theater!) so my schedule is generally flexible (with the exception of occasional performance/rehearsal evenings). I have also at times taken reservations that were last-minute or outside of my area, so please always message me to see if I can help you! 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 for your and my safety. I am fully vaccinated and boosted! I am my mother’s caretaker and she just completed chemotherapy, so I am very proactive in keeping us both safe ❤️ My first cat, Sam, was a Maine Coon who I had since I was 13. He passed at the ripe old age of 17 from kidney disease and was my first love. We managed his kidney disease for two years before having to let him go, so I am very comfortable with administering both liquid and pill medication. My Russian Blue, Turtle, is a 15-year-old diabetic and so I’m current on insulin shot techniques as well! He was also recently diagnosed with a heart murmur, cardiomyopathy, and hypertension (high blood pressure) so is now on pill medication 1x a day. He’s also extremely food motivated so I am used to having to feed everyone separately and ensure that nothing edible gets left out! My 17-year-old calico Emma has colitis, so I’m used to administering medication when needed and in particular cleaning up messes. She actually was returned to the shelter several times due to her bathroom issues but she chose us by jumping into our arms when we visited, ...

The reservation was a breeze to set up and each step of the process was explained well and was easy to follow. Julie was a phenomenal care taker for our 4 kitties. Each has their own very unique personality and Julie was great at adapting to each. She was calm and patient with the shy one and gave all the required attention to the needy ones. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Julie is absolutely fantastic and I can’t recommend her highly enough! She took amazing care of our three resident cats plus several community cats we care for. She spent time loving on and playing with each of our kids and they all warned up to her super fast (which is rare). She also provided sweet updates and photos/videos that did my heart good. Will definitely use her again - as should you😀

Thanks, Julie for sweet care of kits. Coaxing the shy one, loving on them both. Little videos and photos. Also, homestead updates after storms, much appreciated!😊 The cute hand written note to the fur babies, left on the counter…. Extra special. 💜💜💜 I had no worries while I was gone.

Overall, Julie asked thorough and helpful questions at the meet & greet. Julie was also incredibly communicative, punctual, and attentive to every one of our cat’s needs. Julie also went above and beyond in giving detailed updates with picture and videos of our cat each day. Thank you so much for your incredible care.

Julie Q is the best cat sitter I've ever had! She took lots of notes at the meet and greet, and seemed very enthusiastic about making sure all our needs were met (both the cats and mine!). I got daily updates from her, including pictures and videos, that showed me all the fur babies were doing fine, which did a lot for my peace of mind. Key drop off (on her last day) was perfect can she sent a video showing us where she dropped it off - again, very good for peace of mind. Overall, Julie did a fantastic job and really loved on my cats to make them not feel quite so abandoned, since we were gone a fairly long time. Rating 5/5 stars!

Frequently Asked Questions

The average price for a cat sitter is $26.00.

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.
