Dogs, cats, chickens, birds, nice rats, guinea pigs, chameleons, etc. You name it I have probably taken care of one at some point in my life! I can administer oral, topical, and ear medications as well as inhalers. I have two kitties of my own and love all animals. I know how stressful boarding animals can be and would love to help reduce your anxiety so you can enjoy your time away from home as much as possible! I like to play with your fur babies to help them both physically and mentally. It can be hard on pets when their paw-rents are away, so I try to do both physically and mentally engaging activities based on the needs of each pet!Let me know if there are any accommodations that I need to make sure to be aware of while taking care of your fur baby!

Learn More About Courtney

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

I have been cat sitting for at least 15 years. I grew up with cats. I just always had cats around, and I became a go to person in our family groups that would watch other people‘s cats so I have been doing this for a very long time. I also have experience fostering. That’s actually where I adopted my own cats, so I’m comfortable with most medications, including oral, topical and ear administered medications.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy getting to meet new cats and getting to meet new cat personalities. Each cat really is so different from the next that each experience is just something very new and very exciting!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two cats myself, both black shorthaired cats, one named toothless and the other named Princess buttercup. Yes, that is a reference to Princess bride! They are by far some of the best things that have happened to me, and I don’t know what I would do without them. They mean so much to me so I definitely understand the bond that you might have with your own animals!

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.

Brighton cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $31.00. 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!
