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 ❤️ Note: Currently I am not accepting many new clients as my sitting load is very heavy, HOWEVER I do try to accommodate when I can and I know that last-minute life things happen, so you can always feel free to message me with questions or dates you might need and I’ll respond! 1x a day visits vs. 2x a day visits are most accommodable 🗓️ Me: I’m a professional singer based in Indianapolis and I also work for an arts nonprofit so my schedule can be fairly flexible (with the exception of occasional performance/rehearsal evenings). With cat sitting, I have 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! 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 ❤️ 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 chemo, 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 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 do ha...

Julie's Reviews
Hoai-Huong
Julie was such a splendid caregiver to our two kittens while we were away! She kept us informed with photos and updates after each home visit. She made sure each of them got quality play time and attention which is important for kittens. She also helped us take in our mail and take out our trash! Above & Beyond. We are so grateful for her help and would 100% recommend her to anyone wanting a quality and reliable cat caregiver while you’re away from home.

Michelle
My kitty is pretty sassy and has Julie likes to say full of opinions, but Julie has mastered his moodiness and provides amazing care and companionship. I’m always comforted knowing Julie’s got my kitty’s back while I’m away.
Sara
Julie has such a deep love for cats, and it shows in the care she takes for mine. She met him where he was at each day with playtime and cuddles, and he clearly enjoyed their visits more and more! She was extra attentive to how he was dealing with his new litter, and she sent me pics and helpful info. Her action shots of Olaf were next-level, though!! There's no one I would trust more to care for him during a long vacation.

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 $30.00. 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.
