I'm Oleander | Cat Sitting in Springfield, MA
Hi, I’m Oli! I’m an artist and all-around goofy and laid-back guy who loves animals of all kinds, and especially cats! I’ve owned cats my whole life, and my boyfriend and I currently own two lovely cats, Zuko and Azula. I’m big into understanding animal behavior and I know that cats need extra time and patience to truly get comfortable with you, and I’m more than happy to give that. I’ve been able to befriend most cats I’ve met and I’m always happy to meet them on their terms. Azula, our younger cat, was actually feral when we found her living under our porch with her sister and mother, and we took in the two kittens and socialized them over about two months. In this time, I learned first hand how to work with ...

Kristen
Oli was an amazing cat sitter!!! My 3 kitties were so comfortable and loved playing and hanging out. I was so relieved that they were under Oli’s care. Oli went above and beyond getting me the best photos and updating me daily on how everyone was doing. Best cat sitter ive ever had!!!

Briyanna
Oleander is the cat dad of cats, their passionate love and care for animals such as dogs, snakes, rats, the like is something to look up to. They are responsible, never left a cage dirty, nor a bowl empty. Each animal they've owned has a vet and the proper care plan they abide to. I trust Oleander to own my cat if something were to happen to me; and my cat doesn't like many people. They are a hard-worker who values integrity, morality, responsibility, and honesty. You want someone who is going to care for your animal the same way you would your own, and Oleander is the person to do that.

Lovely being able to work with Oleander. The only person I feel comfortable sitting my cats. Great communication skills, and is extremely friendly to both clients as well as pets. Never met anyone more friendly or trustworthy. My cats are in safe hands with him and I know yours will be as well.

Frequently Asked Questions
Springfield cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.
Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
