Learn More About Frances

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

I have been cat sitting for over 10 years. I’ve completed drop-in visits and overnights as needed. I’ve also administered meds if needed.

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

I make sure to be aware of where the cat is so that I can prevent escape and entrapment. I also double check that the cat is safely inside the home before I leave.

Are you usually available during holidays?

If I have availability, I am happy to care for your cat(s) during holidays. After all, what better time is there for you to get away?

Frances was so wonderful with my cat Trouble! She was on time, always sent updates right after and was even able to get some treats in and play with her! I’d book her again and highly recommend!

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.

Reading 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 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!
