I am a retired Art teacher, who together with my husband Rick, have adopted several fur babies from shelters and also have taken in many strays over the 25 years that we've lived in Kalamazoo. I currently have a 15lb street tabby named Tramp who adopted us as his human family over 12 years ago. He is currently the love of our life. I loved all my cats and know the emotional struggle of leaving them - for any reason. Having been fully vaccinated for CoVid, I am very happy to comply with any additional safeguards you feel most comfortable with. I look forward to meeting you and your beautiful feline(s) to discuss details.

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 $23.00. 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!
