Having had cats in my youth and as an adult, taking care of cats when neighbors went out of town. I am an excellent person to do so. You can go away and relax knowing the needs and emotional support is with your loved pets. I am the father of adult twins boy and a girl. My daughter is child like having had Kabuki Syndrome since birth. She works resides in Greencastle. She and I had a male tabby for 15 years. She named him “Prince”. Great guy he was a God shot that brought us much joy and love.
Thank you for letting me share.
Learn More About David
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
As a young adult often. Referrals from neighbors as being a trusting dependable honest person from a good upbringing.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Oh my - the happiness of someone there to personally take care of them. Shy cats also enjoy being looked after even if they don’t come out until the coast is clear. The thought that someone cares is a great feeling for everyone.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Recently passed - a male orange tabby named “Prince”. As a child a gray female tabby named “Ornery” and she was. 😊
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Go with your heart and gut that way you can relax. I believe heart and gut intuition is Gods way of communicating.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
Assurance and being available anytime. If I miss a call or text momentarily it will be promptly returned. Ask anything!!
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
While cat sitting I limit activity to just focus on cats needs and attention. No use of electricity other than to turn lights. I am also well versed on homes having had 2 built and flipped another. If I eyeballed or sensed something not in order I would know how to respond. 👍🙂
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes - my schedule allows me much flexibility. Holidays are stressful for pets and people. I would bring peace and calm. Some one new in a loving manner brings comfort.
What is your favorite cat toy?
Favorite cat toy is the toy or feather dangling from a stick. Not fond of catnip but do not disapprove if owner supports. Safety is always first place.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I don’t over extend my presence to timid. If anxious I walk lightly speak softly and respect their home. Take care of business speak fondly let them be the Queen or King of their domain.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free 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 free Meet & Greet!
