Learn More About Kelly

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I've been cat-sitting since I was a child for all of the neighborhood cats! In high school, I joined the Michigan Humane Society as a foster owner for cats and kittens, many of whom were sick or required lots of TLC and socialization before becoming qualified for adoption. In college, I joined the veterinary field and kicked off my pet-sitting career on a much larger scale. In summary, I've been caring for others' pets as if they were my own for over 10 years.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

By far, the furry friends made along the way! My favorite thing is when I receive random messages from past or current clients, telling me that their cat misses me. I truly love every cat like they are my own, and I absolutely love receiving photos and updates on them throughout the years.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite cat-sitting reservation was for Sesame, a one-year-old Ragdoll cat. Her owner discovered that she was terribly sick with a life-threatening disease, and he wasn't confident that he could handle her at-home treatments on his own. What started as a one-time consult to teach him how to administer Sesame's medications turned into a 3-month booking. I visited the home daily to provide the necessary life-saving medical treatments. Today, Sesame is cured, healthy, and happy. I still visit her often - just to sip coffee with her owner while Sesame is purring in my lap. I feel incredibly honored to have played such a crucial role in saving her life after a heart-crushing diagnosis. We established an incredible bond and I will always adore her.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My two cats are James and Ophelia! - James is a brown tabby, a rescue who came from a horrific animal hoarding situation. He was very sick and entirely terrified of humans when I rescued him at 1 year old. Today he is the most outgoing, loving, teddy bear of a cat I've possibly ever known. - Ophelia is a lynx-point Siamese. I found her as a stray kitten at just 5 weeks old, with no mother or littermates in sight. She was a very feisty, wild kitten until I won her over. Today she is my little shadow and such a blessing in my life.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Trust is everything! Don't be afraid to ask lots of questions, request references, or even set up in-home cameras while you are away to ease your worries.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I offer meet-and-greets at no cost so that you, myself, and your cat(s) can get acquainted. After confirming the dates, I will ask about your cat's daily routine, personality, diet, and any medical requirements or concerns. I also ask if there are any household duties you'd like me to handle while you are away - such as taking out the trash, watering plants, or collecting packages and mail.

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

As a cat owner myself, preventing escapees is second nature to me! I am always diligent about making sure no cat slips out the door, ensuring windows are secured, and doors are locked upon my departure.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Since I don't have much family in Michigan, I almost always spend my holidays caring for animals. It truly helps lift my spirits!

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

I am Fear-Free certified, which allows me to reduce or remove anxiety triggers that can cause cats to become fearful. I have a warm, calm energy that cats naturally gravitate toward. I speak softly, move slowly, and allow cats to approach me on their terms.

Kelly was fantastic. Clyde is a super shy cat, but this time he let her see him, take pictures, ate a little bit with her nearby and even sniffed her finger!!!!! Just amazing. She has been caring for Clyde for awhile and she never gives up on getting to know your cat. Can't say enough great things!!

As always, Kelly goes above and beyond! My normally shy kitties love her and I always feel anxiety and stress free knowing she is with our cats when we are away.

We were away for 10 days and during that time our cat developed a UTI and needed medication we did not have. Kelly was able to pick up the medication and administer every day while we were gone, as well as all other normal responsibilities. She is the only person we trust with watching our pet and would recommend her to anyone!

Clyde is a VERY shy cat. Kelly found him and sent a snapshot of him hiding in his favorite spot. She did not upset Clyde at all and the fact that he showed himself speaks highly of Kelly!

Awesome care giver. Clyde is super shy, yet he still came up for his moist food and his kibble. We are so happy to know he might be camera shy, but he is definitely not just hiding the whole time we are gone.

Kelly did a fantastic job watching our cat, Steve, while we were away for the weekend. Steve has special needs and is a very anxious cat and can be aggressive towards people she doesn’t know. Kelly did a great job of being patient and respecting Steve’s boundaries and by the end of our trip the two of them had (almost) become friends! We will be using Kelly’s services for all of our future trips, would recommend her to anyone!

Kelly was fantastic. Clyde is super shy and she still managed to get a picture of him in his favorite spot! She is very professional and followed all our instructions for Clyde. We are confident he is well taken care of as we travel, which means the world to us.

Scheduling with Meowtel was easy, and Kelly responded quickly. I could tell that she read all about my cats before coming over. I have five and three of them are very shy. She was very patient and managed to get one of the shy ones to come and play and they are now friends. She asked all the right questions about food and their likes and dislikes and other important things to know when taking care of my special little babies. I'm looking forward to developing a relationship between her and my cats so that they will know they're cared for if I ever have to leave home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Auburn Hills cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. 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.
