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

While I am newer to cat sitting, I have experience with general pet care. Most of my hands-on experience has been with dogs for friends and family, and I bring the same attentiveness and reliability to caring for cats.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

While I have not done a lot of cat sitting yet, I really enjoy seeing the different personalities each cat has. I think my favorite part is playing with them and sharing snuggles when they are in the mood for it.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I share my home with four cats, each with their own big personality. Champ is 6 and a brown tabby who loves curling up in my lap, playing fetch, and proudly bringing me his toys like he has just conquered his prey. Felix is 5 and a tuxedo cat. My husband calls him my emotional support cat because he is glued to my side and proudly serves as the self appointed protector of the crew. Lily is also 5 and a calico with a strong independent streak. She prefers affection on her own terms, loves being up high so she can supervise everyone, and goes wild for a good laser light. Last is Blossom, who is 1 and a Russian Blue. She is a total love bug and enjoys laying on my chest for the best snuggles.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

I would encourage pet parents to look for a cat sitter who truly respects a cat’s routine and individual personality. Cats thrive on consistency, so it is important to choose someone who asks thoughtful questions about feeding schedules, playtime, medications if needed, and comfort levels. A good sitter understands that cats are not one size fits all and will adjust their care to help your cat feel safe, comfortable, and secure while you are away.

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

I keep cats safe by maintaining their normal routine, securing doors and windows, and closely monitoring their behavior, eating, and litter habits. I carefully follow all care instructions, including medications like insulin, and communicate any concerns right away. If there are multiple cats, I always do a head count to make sure everyone is accounted for and not locked in somewhere they should not be. Your cat’s safety, comfort, and well being always come first.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes. The only holiday I usually go out of town for is Thanksgiving, as that is the time all of my husbands family is all together

What is your favorite cat toy?

I am a big fan of interactive toys like laser lights and wand toys. They are great for engaging cats, encouraging movement, and bringing out their playful personalities.

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

I move at their pace and never force interaction. I give them space, keep their routine consistent, and use a calm voice and slow movements so they feel safe. I let the cat decide when and how they want to interact, whether that is quiet company, gentle play, or no contact at all at first. My goal is always to reduce stress and help them feel comfortable in their own environment.

She’s very reliable and responsible. She is very good with communicating. She loves all animals like they’re here own! She has a big heart that you can see in everything that she does in life. I completely trust her with my animals and they love her so much! They get excited every time I tell them she’s coming over.

Denise is the only person that I would trust with caring for any of my animals. I once found a very small kitten meowing outside my back door. The first person I called was her. She came right over to rescue him. She cleaned him, fed him, wrapped him in warm bedding and took him home with her and to the vet the very next day. I don't know if he would have survived if it weren’t for her. She gave him a forever home. Even since grade school have never known Denise to not have at least a few cats. Her cats have their own room with toys and jungle gyms. She even has her cat cam so she can talk to them during the day if she’s gone. Recently a momma cat had a litter on kittens in her firepit outside. She nursed them all to health and found them homes. More recently she found a litter in a rental homes she acquired. Took them home. Loved them to health and found them homes. There really isn’t enough room here to tell you how much she loves her fur babies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Kansas City cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
