if you cannot be there to take care of your pets, Onyx is the next best person. Highest possible compliment.

Perfect experience. Great communication and above and beyond trying to get our badly behaved and somewhat shy kittens to cooperate and Onyx did a great job. It made our holiday so much less stressful.

Onyx was super communicative and very helpful. We got nice pictures of two shy cats. One never comes out for strangers but did for Onyx. Thoroughly recommend her and she made my trip less stressful and even helped out when we were delayed coming home. Will absolutely use again.

Onyx was on time everyday for an early visit and helped us get peace of mind when we were away. Onyx sent us pictures and face-timed with us, played with Billie our shy cat, all in all a great experience!

Onyx was wonderful with our kitties while we were out of town! We had a last minute cancellation with another sitter and Onyx saved the day. We had great communication, lots of pictures and updates, and best of all we returned home to 2 happy and well cared for kitties. Thank you!!

Onyx was a great cat sitter for our Tilly while we were out for a little over a week! Our cat loves cuddles and Onyx patiently let Tilly climb and sleep in her lap every visit. Onyx is also very observant and found some small scars on Tilly's neck that we hadn't noticed before.

the sitter did not do what I had specifically requested in writing with regard to mixing dry and wet food, a very simple request that any cat owner shud understand to do, showed up late without letting me know, didn’t provide photo evidence of visits aside from once when I inquired

Response from Onyx on Jul 19, 2024 "Hey Jacob, sorry again for my mistakes! I could’ve had clearer communication and definitely missed the memo on mixing the dry and wet food. Have a great day!"

Onyx is very responsible, professional, and great with my cats! She is responsive, gives updates, and I feel at ease leaving my sweet babies under her care. She also went above and beyond to feed my fish!

Onyx was great. Very responsive to messages. We loved receiving photos of our boy. She helped set up a new cat fountain while we were away when the old one stopped working. Great experience!

It was just an overnight trip, but having someone that was able to take care of my two cats' needs gave immense peace of mind! Onyx was a wonderful and attentive sitter that I would gladly request to watch my cats again!

Onyx was very communicative and flexible with scheduling for my two kittens. I was worried at first since I am a first time cat owner, but Onyx put me at ease and I knew they were in good hands with her! I would highly recommend her for all of your cat sitting needs!

Frequently Asked Questions

Kensington cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $26.00. 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.
