Learn More About Samantha
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two cats: Pistachio, a 5 year old chatty Tuxedo with half of a mustache. And we do chat with each other as I meow back. Freya, a dilute tortoise cat who I took in 1 year ago! My girls love to play and get cuddles and sniff me after visits with other kitties.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I pay attention to where they are and make sure they aren’t hiding anywhere that would be a problem. I also am vigilant about making sure that homes are secured and all exterior doors are locked. I also will check that there aren’t cats trapped in closets or in a room before I go.
What is your favorite cat toy?
I love a teaser wand! It’s classic and gets even the most play resistant kitties moving. It is also a great ice breaker because you see if you have a cat who can jump or is particularly fast.

Samantha's was so awesome sent daily pics and figured out other ways to make things happen like when the water fountain stopped working she still made sure the cats had what they needed. She is caring and dependable!

Samantha went above and beyond while looking after my cat when I was overseas for a week. Her updates during each visit were thorough. You can tell how much she genuinely cares for animals. Her care and reliability gave me so much peace of mind. Book her to be your cat sitter, you won’t regret it!

Samantha was diligent, responsible, and communicated with me whenever she visited. She did a top notch job, and I will most definitely request and reserve again. I was a bit unsettled after using my previous Meowtel sitter for over two years, but discovered she had moved and is no longer available. Samantha is every bit as competent as my previous sitter. What a relief I was lucky enough to find her.

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:
- More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
- 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.
- Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.
All refunds are initially applied to the Cat Parent's Meowtel Account Balance for use toward a future reservation or tip. Funds may be returned to the original payment method at any time.
Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.
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.
Detroit cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $27.00. 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!
