Shara was able to do a wellness check within a 24hr notice. I appreciate Shara’s responsiveness and flexibility. I will definitely reach out to her again in the future.

Shara was great. she provided very thorough daily updates. She went above and beyond by watering outside plants. Our cats liked her and even emerged from their hiding spaces when she was present

Shara was excellent! We had her take care of our two kitties who have been with us for only about 9 months, and we were very worried about leaving them with a stranger. I work from home, so someone has always been at home with them since we adopted them. Shara came over to meet the cats and they were very much at ease with her! She has an excellent personality for taking care of pets; she is caring, relaxed, very knowledgeable in pet care, patient, and clearly puts the care of her pets first. While we were gone, Shara came to the house every day at about the same time (which was good for establishing a schedule for our kitties). She not only provided the basics (feeding and cleaning the litter box), but she took lots of pictures of our babies, texted to me about how they were doing, sat with them, petted them, and played with them! Shara has excellent communication skills. Our kitties fell in love with her…she was excellent. I have used other pet sitting services in the past for our prior kitty sibling set, and our experience with Shara was the best. I cannot recommend Shara more highly than 10+++ out of 10! We are planning out another trip at the end of July and I really hope that Shara will be able to take care of our cats during that trip. I originally planned on using a different service for this most recent trip and came across Meowtel when the other service (that we have used with great success in the past) did not have availability. I was a little worried about using a new service, as we have used other companies that were an absolute disaster, but Meowtel and Shara exceeded all expectations! Thanks, Shara, for doing such a great job taking care of Elise and Lily (they say “hi!”)! They look forward to seeing you again hopefully at the end of the month and for any future pet sitting needs! If anyone is on the fence about Meowtel, you will not be disappointed in their services, and especially if you are lucky enough to have Shara take care of your pets!

Shara did an amazing job looking after my anxious cat while I was away. My cat, who usually gets nervous around new people, warmed up to Shara. The daily updates with photos and videos were great and really put my mind at ease when I was out of town. I came home to a happy and relaxed kitty, which says a lot about the excellent care she provided. I highly recommend Shara to anyone needing a reliable and caring catsitter. She truly loves animals and go above and beyond to make sure your pet is comfortable and happy.

It was a pleasure working with Shara. She and my kitty Izzy hit it off. She sent lots of pictures and updates while I was away, putting my mind at ease. I would certainly recommend her to anyone!

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $31.00. 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.
