What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have done cat sitting informally for friends and neighbors for many years. My latest job was caring for 4 cats.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love cats and feel I understand them well. I know I am good at tending to their needs and feel good that I have that skill to offer.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite cat sitting job was for a neighbor's cat named Chocolate. She was sweet, had a little kitty beard, and I would always find her under a blanket on the couch when I arrived.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a 10 year old Lynx Point Siamese cat named Sibelius. He is cuddly, vocal, and somewhat special needs.

What is your favorite cat toy?

The Cat Dancer is a toy that most of my cats have enjoyed over the years. I also like the Kong treat puzzle ball.

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!
