I'm Sheila | Cat Sitting in Grand Rapids, MI
Hello! My name is Sheila and I am so exited to meet your cats! I have experience cat sitting for friends and have copious experience handling shy and fearful cats, handling difficult diets, giving cats pills, and of course, making sure asthmatic kitties take their meds! I have socialized kittens before and helped with rescue work through Feral Cat Solutions. I am described by my friends and family as a cat lady through and through and I share my home with 4 wonderful rescues. These are: • Kyo, an orange boy with an old soul. Kyo was born to a stray that often ate at a feeder station set-up by one of my colleagues. I brought him home as a kitten. • Yuki, a tortie who was abandoned in the bushes of the company across the street from my sister's...

Amber
Sheila went above and beyond when caring for my cat. She spent time keeping my (quite social!) cat company and entertained in addition to taking care of the necessities. I would absolutely ask Sheila back again, and recommend her very highly to others!
Cayla
Sheila is an amazing cat sitter who cared for my cat as well as if she were her own. When I told her that my cat was incredibly social, she made sure to play with her and spend time with her daily. She was an amazing communicator, sending me updates once or twice a day, and even let me know on her last day that I should pick up more cat litter on my way home so that I didn't come home to a surprise. I would recommend Sheila to anyone in Grand Rapids who is looking for a dependable, attentive, and caring cat sitter.

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 $27.00. 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.
