I'm Ollie | Cat Sitting in Center Line, MI

Hey, I’m Ollie! I have been a life-long cat lover. From the time I could read, I would want to spend all my time looking through books and magazines to learn all about cats. At 5 years old, I adopted my first cat Selina, a very spicy tortoiseshell from a shelter. My partner and I now live with my cat, Rue, the 6 year old grey tuxedo “dingus” who was a kitten to two feral cats. I have experience caring for all sorts of cats: young and old, sweet and spicy. If there’s a cat at the house party, you'll know where to find me! Aside from donating my space and services to my own kitties, I have also fostered with MSIR (Midwest Shiba Inu Rescue). I shared my home with two Shibas (the cattest breed of dogs) one of which was rescued from a puppy mill, and the other was an owner surrender. The latter, Maki, became a foster fail and now has a forever home with us! Just as with the kitties I have adopted, this gave me experience with animals who have had difficult upbringings and with helping them find their new normal. I ha...

Learn More About Ollie

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I have a kitty named Rue, she’s a gray tuxedo and has so much personality! She certainly knows how to hold a conversation and loves “finding” (begging or stealing) food. I almost always wake up with her cuddling me and she always greets me at the door when I come home.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! My holiday plans are usually very flexible so I can definitely be available to take care of some kitties during the holidays.

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

I feel its very important to be observant of cats' behaviors and body language, especially if it is likely they are anxious or stressed. I can relate to and respect cats' need to have space at times. I never expect a cat to want to interact with me right away, so I never force it. My usual strategy is to allow them to adjust and seek out attention if and when they are ready, and to make sure all their needs are met in the meantime.

Ollie was absolutely fantastic. Everything went perfectly, even when I decided to extend my trip. I cannot say enough good things about this experience and highly recommend Ollie! I don't travel often but I would never use anyone else.

Ollie is a master class at cat watching. She sends the best photo and video updates. Our cats really love her and we trust her implicitly.

I can't thank Ollie enough! I took a trip abroad after having recently relocated to a new apartment. Ollie was especially patient with my cat, given she was still adjusting to our new home.

What an amazing kitty sitter! Ollie was professional and responsive and most importantly, she loved our cats and they loved her. She definitely went above and beyond, including making sure she played with our felines and also making sure everything around their food and litter was tidy. We highly recommend and can't wait to work with her again.

I couldn’t ask for a better cat sitter! she truly cares about cats and made sure my babies were taken care of. My cats are not mean but they are timid about strangers. and Ollie made sure to be gentle with introducing herself etc. Ollie always communicated and sent adorable photos.

Frequently Asked Questions

Center Line cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $32.00. 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.
