Learn More About Michael
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been cat sitting for over 5 years. I am happy to cat sit by having cats stay at my own house with me or traveling to their home. Whatever is easiest for the family and most comfortable for the cat.
Are you usually available during holidays?
YES! Being a teacher means I’m off work during many holidays. This is great for families who may be traveling during times like spring or summer break ☀️!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
SPACE… let them find their courage, then treat them with sincere love and compassion. Build trust. Like students, meet them where they are.

Michael was very accommodating when we had to change our plans and one cat needed more attention than originally planned. Both cats were happy and healthy when we got home and everything was in great shape!

Michael took good care of our three older girls and sent pics of them getting loved on while we were gone. It’s always hard to leave the girls alone for so long, but having Michael there made it easier on us all!!!

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.
If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.
Louisville cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $23.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
