Learn More About Samantha

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

I’ve been cat sitting for over 20 years. I’ve cared for shy cats who have to be coaxed out to play and outgoing kitties who meet me at the door. I love getting to visit with cats and give them love and care while their families are out of town.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two cats: Barnaby, a fluffy black elderly gentleman who still likes to play like a kitten. Maud, a sweet grey lady who hates being held but likes to sit right next to me to get pets!

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I am extremely careful with my own cats’ safety and security and it’s second nature to extend that to the cats I’m sitting. I am extremely aware that all entrances are secured so that everybody stays inside. Because I know every cat has unique needs, I always folllw the owners instructions to the letter so that the cats get exactly the care they need. Because my cats both have digestive issues, I have a good eye for making sure there are no tempting, dangerous items around that can be nibbled on.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, my family all live near by and I am usually available for visits on and around the holidays. I work an academic job meaning my work schedule is very light around the holidays which increases my availability. I have some holidays blocked off, but that doesn’t mean I’m necessarily unavailable the whole day. Feel free to message me for details.

Samantha is FABULOUS, and my cat responded very well to her! Coming two days in a row, Samantha was on time to administer meds, spent time with my furry friend, sent me photos from the visit, and wrote an informative note to help me know how things were going. I am SO grateful to have Samantha on my "Meds for Kitty" team! I will hire Samantha again, and I highly recommend her!

Samantha is a fantastic cat sitter! She really cares for all cats and their wellbeing. When checking on our cats she lets me know timeframes when she will be checking on them, as well as sends updates and photos when she is at our house. It's nice to know she cares about our cats as if they are her own!

Samantha was wonderful when caring for my four anxious cats. She was always on time and made sure to give my cats space, allowing them to come to her. This set them up for such a positive experience with her! Samantha is a pro at giving cats pills and she made sure they had the play time they needed to wind down at the end of the day. I appreciate her detailed communication and commitment to ensuring my cats were well taken care of during my travels!

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.
