Kathy bonded so well with my very shy cat. She sent wonderful pics and videos on a daily basis, was diligent and dependable with feeding and litter-box chores, and took time for playing and brushing. Kathy is fantastic!

Kathy looked after our two Siamese for over a week with nothing but absolute care and devotion. We felt very confident this would the case from a great meet n greet where Kathy showed an immediate like for both. her daily updates were fantastic and it was a highlight of our trip to get those every day. The boys were in tip top shape and had obviously enjoyed their daily play sessions very much as all they wanted to do when we got home was play! While we didn’t have any medication needs Kathy took care of all daily chores very well. we can’t wait to book her again for upcoming trips and would not hesitate to recommend her as a fantastic cat sitter!

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.
Kalamazoo 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!

Kathy took excellent care of my 4 cats, 2 with medical needs. They really warmed-up to her, which they usually don't with sitters, because she's so caring and attentive. She was completely responsible, reliable, and wonderful with cats. I'd gladly hire her again.

I am always able to trust Kathy with watching my babies while we’re away, knowing that they are getting the best care. The older they get, the more I worry, but Kathy is aware and helps keep me at ease with details about her visits and plenty of cute photos.

This was our second time having Kathy take care of our cats. She was amazing as usual, we were gone for almost 3 weeks and this was the best someone had ever taken care of our babies. i would definitely recommend her for any cat parents looking to get the finest cat care out there when they are away.

Both my cats are seniors, and the older they get, the more anxious I am to leave them for a trip. When Kathy is watching them., I don’t have to worry. I know they are in gentle and caring hands and she is treating them with love just as she would her own cat. Thank you Kathy! ❤️
