I respect every cat’s individual boundaries, whether they want active playtime or just quiet companionship on their own terms.
During my visits, I take care of all the essentials. Feeding routines, fresh water, litter box maintenance, and medical or special care needs, while giving them plenty of dedicated attention. I aim to create a calm, peaceful environment so they feel completely comfortable in their own home. I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes after every visit so you can enjoy your time away with total peace of mind.

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I was cat sitting for 2 years back in 2020-2022 and took a break from it as life got busy, but I’m ready to get back into it and miss seeing my furry friends. I have had numerous clients in the past that were pleased with my care. I’m also really good at getting shy cats to feel comfortable, as I am an energy practitioner and empath and am sensitive to energy, I can read animals very well.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I probably have more cat friends than real friends. Let’s be honest, cats are better! When they open up to you it is the most special feeling because of how independent and closed off they can be at times, it’s truly a special experience to be trusted by a cat.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Normally if a cat is timid or anxious I won’t force an interaction. Sometimes people think you need to pet them but just like people, not everyone likes to be touched and that’s okay! Animals deserve consent to be respected. Because they aren’t able to verbally tell us this, it’s important to pay attention to their physical cues and body language.

The whole situation was problem free and good for my cat. Ashley did a wonderful job of keeping the litter clean and the cat cuddled. I recommend her highly!

Ashley was very responsive and kept me up to speed regarding my kitties while I was away-lots of pictures! Very important since I have an elderly kitty needing meds. She was even able to get some snuggles in with my shyest baby.

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.
Sterling cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. 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!
