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 own 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), and I work for a nonprofit arts org as well. 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! 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, so I am very proactive in keeping us both safe ❤️ I am fully vaccinated and boosted against Covid. Back to cats! My first cat, Sam, was a Maine Coon who I took in off the streets when he was a few months old and I was 13. He passed in 2020 at the ripe old age of 17 from kidney disease, and he 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), and has a seizure condition so is now on pill medications 2x a day. He’s 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 tiny calico Emma has colitis, so I’m used to administering medication when needed (either with pill popper or by hand) and in particular cleaning up messes. She actually was returned to the shelter several times due to her bathroom issues...

Julie's Reviews
Bobbie
My (now) wife and I took a 7 day trip to Vegas with family to get married and were stressed about leaving Mac and Anderbeau alone for so long….. wow, did Julie make that easier! A great first meet that instantly showed how much she both cares and enjoys helping and connecting. The updates were above and beyond anything we could have expected! Feeding, litter, cleaning, loving, playing and most important CARING. We would gladly trust Julie in our home and with our beloved Mac and Anderbeau anytime. Perfection. And the wedding was great! 😀
Jennifer
Julie was absolutely amazing! All of our cats adored her, even our anxious high need kitty. 4 paws up!
Ann
Julie was absolutely amazing with my Scottie and Sadie kitties. Scottie was recently diagnosed with diabetes so was reluctant to leave town and Julie made sure I knew she had everything handled with his care and medication. Sadie is a shy kitty and after the first day she was out and about with Julie. it was wonderful to see all the updates twice a day of my babies and also making sure my home was kept nice and clean. thank you Julie !! I will definitely use you for all my future kitty 🐈⬛🐈⬛ care needs ❤️

we’ve been working with Julie for awhile now and I would have a hard time trusting anyone else with our car. she is fantastic! we have complete trust in her and know that while we are gone our car is in excellent hands! Julie sends great picture, videos, and updates! we always know what is going on with our car while we are away!
Rebekah
Julie did everything we wanted and more. The fear we had leaving our babies behind while we travel went away as soon as Julie updated us on everything while we were away. She provided lots of pictures everytime she visited. Took great care of Litter and food. Gave the most amount of love to our babies while we were away. We definitely know who to hit up next time we need to travel. We Highly recommend Miss Julie.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
