Hello there! I've been fortunate enough to grow up with my feline friends for 20 years. I've done a great deal of house sitting and in those experiences I've given medication, ensued playtime, and provided basic necessities like cleaning up the litter box and sticking to any necessary food regimens. I also have a vehicle that can get me to and from places quickly. I consistently communicate, depending on your preference, via phone to show your furbaby is safe and their belly is full. Rest assured, your pet will receive the love and care they deserve until you're back home!

Learn More About Tea

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I really enjoy all the different personalities I come across with cat sitting. I think one of the most important things to understand about cats is they get comfortable in their own time and in their own way. I normally have never had an issue with a cat warming up to me as I simply give them the space to understand new scents so they don't feel that their space is being jeopardized. Each personality has its own quirks and I'm always curious to learn their language!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have an Abyssinian cat named Zoey! She is a very expressive and affectionate cat. She's full of whimsy, which ultimately leads to a lot of playtime and nightly zoomies. Her favorite spot in the house is whatever piece of furniture the sunlight hits, where she can bask in the sun's rays for hours at a time. Beyond the affectionate and playful nature, Zoey provides a warm, comforting energy - an energy that could color anyone's day.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I can be available for the holidays but will need at least a two week notice to make arrangements!

What started as a routine booking quickly turned into something much more, and Tea handled it exceptionally. We booked her for a standard trip, but partway through, our cat Freya developed a medical issue that quickly escalated. From the moment Tea noticed something wasn’t right, she was incredibly attentive, proactive, and communicative. She kept a close eye on the wound, kept us informed every step of the way, and ultimately took Freya to urgent care, where she received imaging and needed staples. What stood out most was not just her responsiveness, but her judgment and care. She handled everything with such calm, thoughtfulness, and professionalism during a stressful situation. She also went well beyond what was originally scheduled, staying overnight so Freya wouldn’t be alone, administering medications, and coordinating with others to ensure there was always someone with her. We always felt fully in the loop and completely confident in the care Freya was receiving. Tea is incredibly intuitive, kind, and gentle, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We are so grateful for her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for not just a sitter, but someone you can fully trust, even in unexpected situations. She is the kind of sitter you hope you never need in an emergency, but are endlessly grateful to have when you do. ❤️

Tea was absolutely wonderful! I honestly could not have asked for a better person to care for our babies, Miss Pouncy and Miss Smudgy, while my husband and I were away for two weeks. Both of my cats are extremely shy around new people. When Tea came for the meet and greet, Pouncy peeked around the corner for just a minute and then quickly disappeared. That was the last Tea saw of either cat! After that, both cats stayed completely hidden during every visit. Tea never tried to force an interaction with them or coax them out of their hiding places. Instead, she completely respected their personalities and their need to feel safe in their own home, which I really appreciated. Even though the cats refused to make an appearance, Tea was incredibly attentive and conscientious throughout the entire two weeks. She made sure they had fresh food and water, took care of their litter, checked that everything was as it should be, and kept us updated after every visit. For several days while we were away, the weather became extremely hot, and Tea went above and beyond to make sure Pouncy and Smudgy were comfortable. She reached out to us about turning on the air conditioners and checked in every day about the temperature. That meant so much to us. It was exactly the kind of thoughtful attention you hope for when you leave your pets in someone else’s care. Knowing that Tea was paying such close attention to their comfort and wellbeing gave us tremendous peace of mind. What impressed me most about Tea was how genuinely caring she was, even when her two little clients were determined to remain invisible! She understood that caring for cats sometimes means simply giving them space and making sure they feel safe and secure rather than expecting affection or interaction in return. We came home after two weeks to two very happy, healthy cats and everything beautifully taken care of. I would trust Tea with Miss Pouncy and Miss Smudgy again without hesitation, and I will absolutely be asking her to care for them in the future. Tea is truly an exceptional sitter, and I feel incredibly lucky that we found her. Five stars isn’t enough!

Tea was our first time ever using a cat sitter while away and we were away for 7 nights. Tea was AMAZING. Our meet and greet was great, she asked all the right questions, and was very nice right away with the cats. While we were away Tea sent pictures everyday of our 2 cats being cute, eating, and videos of them playing. She also brought in packages for us and put them to the side. We travel a lot and now that we have worked with Tea we will 100% be working with her again when needed. Thanks Tea!

Tea is amazing! she spent about 40 minutes at the meet and greet with my boys because they are shy. She was very patient and sweet with them and quickly earned their trust. her updates, pictures, and communication are fantastic! She has also been great with accommodating a few last minute schedule changes I have had. I highly recommend Tea!

The cats had another great week with Tea! She even managed to change the waste bin and refill the litter robot, which deserves its own certification. We are very impressed.

Tea is a wonderful cat sitter! It was clear that Casper was well cared for throughout our time away. I received daily updates and pictures showing his purrs, pets, and mealtimes. I feel very comfortable leaving him again under Tea’s experienced care.

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.

Medford cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $32.00. 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!
