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...
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 have experience with giving cats oral medications and medications that need to be applied to eyes. I also have some experience with subcutaneous injections and I’m very willing to learn how to accommodate your cats’ medical needs.

Outside of my love for animals, I am a designer and illustrator with a degree from the College for Creative Studies. I take commissions, do freelance work, and sell my art at craft fairs, anime conventions, and pride events. I’m also on the lookout for a tattoo apprenticeship!

I’m based in the Warren area and I would love to work within a 25 minute drive, but I am happy to travel farther for more infrequent visits. I am flexible with scheduling and I share a cat’s nocturnal nature, so evening visits are perfect for me!

I am fully vaccinated and I’m happy to take any precautions to help you feel safe while I’m inside your home, including masking, hand washing upon arrival, or wearing gloves.

I’m looking forward to making sure your kitties are well taken care of and loved! 💜🐾

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 great and thorough. I got detailed updates after each visit with photos as well. They weren’t afraid to ask questions if they were unsure of how I did certain things. They made sure that my cat with allergies did not access the other cats food, played with my kitten to get her energy out, & let me know about any other relevant happenings so that I was in the loop!

We had never used a professional cat sitter before Ollie, but Ollie completely reassured us throughout the entire experience. In particular, we really appreciated that Ollie was patient with our more shy cat who has been known to not eat and hide when we’re away. However, Ollie made our cat feel so comfortable and confident which made us so happy in return. Overall, our experience was really easy and we would absolutely book Ollie again!

Ollie provided thorough updates along the way, letting us know how our guy was doing and how he was adjusting to having someone new come over to check on him. We had an apartment mishap and Ollie offered to help clean up, and we really appreciated this as well.

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.

If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.

Center Line 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 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. 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 free Meet & Greet!
