Learn More About Rachel

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have my own kitty named Gracie! She’s a very sweet young adult whom I adopted 3 years ago. She enjoys cuddles and giving kisses!

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

There are a lot of ways I do this. I discuss with the owner if the cat is an escape artist, and always open the door with caution. I lock the door behind me when I enter to ensure it’s fully closed and everything is safe inside. I’m very careful about leaving anything out where the cats might be able to reach, so that they don’t ingest or damage anything. I’m just very conscious about what the cat might have access to especially after I leave. I always ensure all windows and doors are locked and test them when I leave.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toy is probably a wand toy, but really the most fun is just whatever the cat enjoys the most! I love seeing their silly expressions when they’re engaged.

Rachel did a great job taking care of my fur baby while I was away. She sent me a lot of pictures which I really appreciated. She was respectful of my home and followed all instructions. I would definitely trust Rachel to watch my cat again!

Rachel is amazing with cats! Having been both a cat owner and foster, she's comfortable with all cats. She’s super dependable, easy to communicate with, and clearly loves what she does. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter!

Frequently Asked Questions

Ann Arbor 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 $25.00. 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.
