What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I love most about cat sitting is getting to meet new kitties and discover their unique personalities. Every cat has their own little quirks—some are toy-chasers, some are treat-hunters, and some are professional sunbeam-nappers. I really enjoy figuring out what makes each kitty happiest and earning their trust in the process. Watching them open up and show off who they are is the best part of the job.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

When I’m not caring for other people’s cats, I’m busy spoiling my own kitties! Sabre – My sleek black boy who’s athletic, sweet, and always ready to zoom around the house. Lyra – My sassy tortie queen who runs the household and makes sure everyone knows it. Ollie – My fluffy red youngster (just 3 years old) who’s equal parts goofy and lovable. Doodles – My wise old tortie lady at 20 years young, who’s the heart of the family and still full of spunk. They each have such different personalities, and living with them has given me so much appreciation for how wonderfully unique every kitty can be.

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

When it comes to choosing a cat sitter, it’s so important to find someone who really understands your kitty. Some cats are outgoing and curious, while others are shy and cautious—and both deserve patience, respect, and understanding. If your kitty needs medications like pills, insulin, or fluids, it helps to have a sitter who can give them safely and confidently, without adding stress to your cat. At the end of the day, it’s all about trust—making sure you feel confident in your sitter and that your kitty receives the love and care they deserve. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, and encourage your sitter to ask questions too! It’s all about finding the right fit so both you and your cat feel comfortable.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I always love to learn about each cat’s favorite things—whether that’s a special treat, a toy they can’t resist, or a sprinkle of catnip that makes them extra happy. These little details help me connect with kitties and build trust at their own pace. I also like to know their usual routine, since cats thrive on consistency. The more I can keep their day-to-day life feeling familiar, the more comfortable and relaxed they’ll be while you’re away.

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

The safety of your cats and your home is always my top priority. I make sure doors and windows are secure at every visit, and I always double-check that your kitty is safe and accounted for before I leave. During our meet and greet tell me about your cat’s favorite hiding spots so I know exactly where to look before heading out! I also keep a close eye on food and water levels, litter boxes, and any changes in behavior so I can catch concerns early and keep your kitty feeling their best.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toy is the wand toy. It’s a wonderful way for cats to burn off energy, practice their natural hunting skills, and stay mentally engaged. I also like that it allows me to keep a comfortable distance, which is especially helpful for cats who may be shy, unsure of me, or a little grumpy at first. Wand toys are a great tool for both exercise and bonding, and they give each kitty the chance to feel confident and playful on their own terms.

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

For kitties who are nervous or anxious, I always let them set the pace. I don’t force interaction—instead, I give them space and allow them to come to me when they’re ready. Spending quiet time in the room, offering meals, treats, and gentle company helps build trust little by little. I also keep a close eye on how they’re doing—making sure they’re eating well, using their litter box, and behaving normally—while letting them decide when they want attention. My goal is always to make them feel safe, respected, and cared for in their own way.

Mikaylee was great with my elderly cat who has specific and somewhat complicated food needs. She was great about communicating and genuinely cared about my cat, spending extra time playing with her and loving on her while I was gone. I will definitely book Mikaylee again.

Mikaylee is very good with communication and made us feel comfortable while we were away. I loved knowing that our furbabies were well cared for while away from the home.

When dealing with my grumpy boy, she did everything she could to make sure he was comfortable. She ensured he felt as safe as possible and that meant a lot to me as someone who considers my cat my fur-baby. Anyone would be lucky to have her as a carer for their pet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Overland Park cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $23.00. 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.
