I'm Caitlin

Cat Sitting in Lansing, MI

Professional treat giver, toy wand enthusiast, and dedicated kitty photographer. I have two cats at home, Azaban, my giant social boy, and Kamaria, my tiny shy girl. Since becoming a sitter, I've also gotten to know and care for lots of different kitty personalities. Some are ready to be best friends the moment I walk in, while others would much rather watch me suspiciously from across the room for a while... Professional treat giver, toy wand enthusiast, and dedicated kitty photographer. I have two cats at home, Azaban, my giant social boy, and Kamaria, my tiny shy girl. Since becoming a sitter, I've also gotten to know and care for lots of different kitty personalities. Some are ready to be best friends the moment I walk in, while others would much rather watch me suspiciously from across the room for a while. I understand that every cat has their own unique personality and comfort level, and I want to make their time with me as comfortable and familiar as possible.

I genuinely love spending time with cats, whether that means active playtime, keeping them company, or simply giving them space and letting them come to me on their own terms. I'm a calm and patient person around animals, and I always try to help cats feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their humans are away.

You can also expect lots of photo updates! I take pictures of my own cats constantly, and I love capturing cute moments to share with pet parents!

Learn More About Caitlin

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

I have been caring for cats for around 7 years, beginning with my own cats and cat sitting for friends and co-workers. Now expanding to caring for multiple families through Meowtel. I've even had the pleasure of being welcomed back by repeat clients! I've worked with cats with a wide range of personalities and comfort levels, from highly social cats who want constant companionship to shy cats who prefer to quietly observe from a distance. I've also cared for multi-cat households and understand that even cats living under the same roof can have completely different routines, boundaries, and needs. I pay close attention to each family's instructions and each cat's behavior so I can adjust my visits to what makes that particular cat most comfortable

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Give your sitter all the details, even the little "weird' routines that seem silly! Cats thrive on consistency, and small things can make a huge difference while their human is away. Whether it's pretending to sprinkle spices on the food so they'll eat or how they like to be approached.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I let timid cats approach me on their own time and avoid forcing interactions when they're clearly asking for space. I'm happy to quietly handle other tasks while they observe and sniff me out from a distance until they feel more comfortable. I've found that sometimes simply being a calm, predictable presence is the best way to earn a shy cat's trust.

Caitlin was here, taking care of our two cats, when she said she would be, and for how long she was scheduled. I think she even stayed longer. Our cats (two huge Siberians) looked better when I returned then when I take care of them. All brushed - happy and fed!! Can’t ask for more than that!!!

Caitlin is amazing! She has excellent communication skills and made me feel comfortable as a first time Meowtel user. She did such an awesome job with our 9 week old Kitten. We will definitely reach out to her again for future services!

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.

Lansing 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 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 Meet & Greet!
