Learn More About Alyssa

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two kitties! Toast (orange boy) and Mochi (dilute tortie girl). Both are around 4 to 5 years old.

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

First we talk about your cats and their personalities. And exchange pictures of the kitties of course. We'll discuss their play, food, and sleep habits and any medications or special needs they have.

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

I give them time, space, and attempt to give treats. I gain their trust by being quiet and consistent so they may get used to me.

Alyssa was a real treat for our cat. Not only did she feed her well, she also entertained her with her favorite toys. We appreciated the way she took care of our cat.

Alyssa did a great job with Jasmine. We were apprehensive about leaving her for so long but Alyssa took great care of her. We will definitely use her again.

Alyssa clearly loves cats. Not only does she take wonderful care of her own and makes sure they have exactly what they need to thrive, but she is invested in others too and always asks about how my older cat is doing. I know Alyssa to be a trustworthy and reliable individual and I have no doubt she would care for any cat as if they were her own.

Frequently Asked Questions

Grand Rapids cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $24.00. 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.
