My approach to making friends with cats is to offer a gentle hand and allow them to decide if they’d like a pet/scratch. If not, that’s okay! We love boundaries!
I have lived with cats my whole life, so I am no stranger to scooping litter and cleaning up vomit (before they get a chance to eat it 😭). I am impervious to cat scratches and have a collection of scars myself.
Whatever personality your kitty has, I will consider it my friend and care for them to the best of my ability as per your directions.
They will receive scratches, pets, play, care, love, and above all, respect.

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I began cat sitting as a paid profession this year, but I have 5 years of experience cat sitting for my friends and neighbors! This includes keeping their house key safe while they are out of town, bringing in packages, scooping litter, sweeping tracked litter, cleaning vomit, providing fresh food and water, and engaging with their kitties via play and affection. Sometimes if they’re shy, I’ll sit at a distance and just talk to them.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Making new feline friends! My personal motto is, “A house without a cat is not a home.” I just love talking to kitties and letting them show me their personality. Play is a great way to bond with them, and I find it helps us build trust. I’m also particular about my cat sitters sweeping up any tracked litter, so I’ll make sure to do that for you. One of the worst things to come home to after a trip is litter everywhere, so I’ll do my best to sweep every visit. (Although please don’t hold me responsible if they rocket out of the litter box with poop zoomies after I leave 😂)
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Coopy and ChiChi!!! My babies!!! I call them my little sausages when they sprawl out on the kitchen floor on hot Nola summer days. Coopy is older and loves to sit on my lap while I drink coffee in the kitchen and watch true crime youtubers. She communicates her emotions/thoughts with her eyes better than any cat I've met. She is soooo smart and loving! ChiChi is a lil diva and I'm so here for it! She lays on my chest almost anytime she sees me laying down. I like to think it's because she loves me, but it might just be cause she knows I'll scratch her lol
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
My kitties are indoor, but one likes to try to explore our apartment stairwell! If your kitty is outside curious too, l will take care to enter and leave the house with caution. Doors immediately get closed when a cat lives in a house, and putting eyes on the cats is my first priority when entering. I will check under couches and beds until I see the shadow of two pointy ears or glowing eyeballs. After taking care of refreshing water/food bowls and litter, I will also put eyes on them before leaving. This is what I do in my own home to make sure everyone is safe, healthy, and accounted for. I always give goodbye pets and let them know how loved they are!

Kris was the best cat sitter! She took amazing care of our big cat family and was great at sending updates and photos. She even earned the trust of our shy kitty and was able to give him the medication he needs. Would absolutely recommend Kris to anyone!

Sadly, where I live, I am not allowed to have fur babies. However, having observed her loving care of the two precious kitties (cats) she has - Chichi & Coopy - I am confident that Kris would make an excellent cat-sitter. I believe she would extend that same love and passion for cats, in general and her fur babies (specifically), to someone else's feline family members as if they were her own.

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.
New Orleans cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $22.00. 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!
