I'm Richelle
Cat Sitting in Kansas City, KS
I have had a long history of owning and caring for cats throughout my life, and really only recently I have been without a cat friend.
Recently my normal schedule has allowed for some flexibility on some nights and weeke... Stay-at home Mom by day, cat-sitter at night!
I have had a long history of owning and caring for cats throughout my life, and really only recently I have been without a cat friend.
Recently my normal schedule has allowed for some flexibility on some nights and weekends, so I figured why not help out a few cats in need of a sitter?
Whether you have a rambunctious kitten, a tortie with a 'tude, or a senior who needs some TLC, I'll be more than happy to check in on your feline friend and ensure their well-being while you are away.
Learn More About Richelle
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
Before entering the home, I like to go over standard expectations restrictions and any allergies or medical needs for your cats. All of my visits are solo. I will not bring in any unauthorized persons or pets. I'll go over a checklist of care for your cat as well as ensuring the home is properly secured before leaving.
What is your favorite cat toy?
I love those little toy rods with the feathers on the end! My cats would go nuts for them because they simulate a bird.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
When it comes to timid cats, its best to give them their space and let them come to you on their own terms. Initially I will check their location if they are in hiding, and spend a little bit of time nearby just talking to them or leaving a treat for them.

Kansas City cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.
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. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet!
