Learn More About James

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have three cats of my own, Sora (17), Vanitas (14) and Amelie (12). I have collectively owned seven cats over the last 27 years, and have taken care of many more.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

When cat sitting I avoid any activities that could cause a hazard, such as cooking, burning candles, handling chemicals. I also make sure any open windows have screens that are security in place, and no doors to the outside are left open. I also avoid wearing headphones or earbuds so I can be fully aware at all times in case an issue should arise, or a cat get into something they should not, such as the refrigerator or a trash can.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I let timid or anxious cats approach me once they are ready to. I do my best to keep a calm and quiet environment to help reduce their likelihood of being startled or spooked. For cats who like treats such as churus I make an attempt to bond with them by offering them a parent approved snack.

Frequently Asked Questions

Biddeford cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $23.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
