Cat Sitting in Grand Rapids, MI

Hello! I'm Haleigh; my friends and family all agree that I was a cat in a past life.

I'm Haleigh; my friends and family all agree that I was a cat in a past life. That's a joke of course, but truly, I began life as a "kitty girl", and have happily transitioned to a proud "cat lady" as I've gotten older. I have had cats all my life; my childhood cat lived to be 22 years old! I currently have two kitties who I love immensely. I am dedicated, loving, respectful, reliable, and a fierce advocate for all cats. Yours included! And I will do everything to ensure they are happy, healthy, and safe with me.

Learn More About Haleigh

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Meeting new cats, of course! I have never met a stranger in a cat. They are all such unique, adorable creatures that I will always have an affinity for (yes I feel that way about the spicy ones too!).

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two kitty babies. My sweet girl Poof turned 7 this year, and my goofy guy Frank turned 6! Funnily enough, I actually "got Frank for Poof" when she was about 1, because I thought she was lonely. 6 years down the road, most days I she would be okay with locking Frank in a cabinet somewhere and walking away to nap in the sun (until mom rescues him of course!).

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

I let them lead. I will be a calm, respectful addition to their space. If they decide they want to get to know me, that's great. But if not, it's important to respect their boundaries, which I'm happy to do.

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.

Grand Rapids cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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!
