I believe every cat deserves care that respects their personality. During visits, I move at your catās pace ā whether that means interactive play sessions, lap time, brushing, or simply calm companionship for more reserved cats... Hi! Iām a lifelong cat lover with hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages and temperaments ā from playful kittens to shy seniors and multi-cat households.
I believe every cat deserves care that respects their personality. During visits, I move at your catās pace ā whether that means interactive play sessions, lap time, brushing, or simply calm companionship for more reserved cats. Iām attentive to litter box habits, appetite changes, and subtle behavior shifts, and Iāll always keep you updated with detailed notes and photos.
You can expect:
ā¢ Fresh food and water
ā¢ Clean litter boxes
ā¢ Medication administration (if needed)
ā¢ Play and enrichment
ā¢ Lots of affection (if your cat wants it!)
ā¢ Clear communication every visit
I volunteer at a cat shelter, which means I get lots of practice earning the trust of shy kitties and keeping playful ones happily engaged!
Iām dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping your cat safe and comfortable while youāre away. My goal is simple: for you to travel with total peace of mind.
Learn More About Sara
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
What I most enjoy about cat sitting is getting to know each cat as an individual. I love discovering their little routines ā where they like to perch, how they prefer to play, and when they want affection (or space). Thereās something really special about earning a shy catās trust or watching a confident cat fully relax during a visit. I also genuinely value being a calm, steady presence while their family is away. Knowing I can help a cat feel safe and comfortable ā and give their human peace of mind ā is incredibly rewarding to me.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
We have 4 cats - Sonic, Tails, (Ragdoll brothers), Petunia and Paul Revere (black American short hair sister an brother).
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
When caring for timid or anxious cats, I take a calm, low-stress approach rooted in my Fear-Free Shelter training. I move slowly, speak softly, and avoid direct eye contact so cats can feel safe observing me first. I always let the cat set the pace. I pay close attention to body language ā ear position, tail movement, posture, and vocal cues ā and adjust my approach accordingly. I never force interaction. If a cat prefers distance, I focus on meeting their care needs while maintaining a gentle, predictable presence. Fear-Free principles have taught me that emotional safety is just as important as physical care. My goal is to reduce stress, build trust gradually, and create a calm environment where each cat feels secure.

North Yarmouth cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. 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!
