Learn More About Brendan

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

A cat sitter was my first job when I was about 10 years old! I passed out flyers in my neighborhood and offered to watch kitties while their caregivers were away. I’m a helicopter cat parent myself take caring for kitties very seriously. I take detailed notes to share with the caregiver so they feel like they never left — Eating, drinking, and bathroom habits. I also am experienced in giving medication — pills and compounded medications.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love meeting new furiends and cuddling and caring for kitties. Seeing their distinct personalities is so fun and I love building trust with positive interactions. It’s so special to be able to provide caregivers with peace of mind while they are away.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two kitties. They’re 7-year-old brothers. Lumière (like the candlestick from Beauty and the Beast🥀) is a tuxsie, and Gatsby is a brownish gray kitty.

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

Trust your gut. You need to advocate for your kitty and choose the best match based on their needs. Ask questions and make sure your kitty feels comfortable around them.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I love to set up a meet and greet where I can come say hi to you and your cat(s). This helps me get familiar with your space and know where to find your cat’s supplies while you’re away. I use this time to earn your cat’s trust and show them that I’m a friend.

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

Safety is my number one priority. I’m cautious when entering a home and close and lock the door once I’m inside. I ensure all doors and windows are closed and locked before I leave. Just like when I leave my kitties, I like to make sure I see them while I’m closing the door.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, my availability is open around most holidays.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love cat wands with long ribbons and feathers for them to chase! Other favorites include, laser pointers, and cute small animals stuffed with catnip.

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

My number one goal is to make a cat feel safe. I take it slow and steady, making sure they know they can trust me. I read their body language to make sure they’re ready for my presence. Once I know they’re comfortable, I offer positive reinforcement with pets, enrichment, playtime, and treats — when approved by their caregiver.

Brendan was absolutely wonderful!!! This is the first time we’ve left our babies with anyone but friends they knew to take care of them. We were only gone overnight, and I thought maybe the braver one would show his face, but no way the other one. But apparently Brendan is a cat whisperer, but he got them both out both days. He even was able to pet the shy one’s belly—she doesn’t even let me do that!!! He was also very professional and provided plenty of feedback. I will definitely be using his services again

Brendan was sooooo wonderful from the beginning to the end of the catsitting. I am also a Meowtel sitter so I had high standards - and plus, a crazy cat lady to boot - but he met them perfectly. Brendan is very kind, friendly, and immediately puts you at ease during the meet and greet. My cat Humphrey is a little prickly with people who aren’t me but he took it all in stride and was incredibly patient with my cat. Brendan accepted all of his (and mine haha!) crazy with grace and by the end of the visit, Humphrey had warmed up to him more than he’s ever warmed up to someone that isn’t me before!! In addition, Brendan was communicative, very clean, flexible and polite throughout the two weeks he was checking in on my place. I would highly, highly recommend Brendan. I know I’ll use him again!

Brendan was an amazing care taker. He was so prompt, thorough and took loving care of our precious kitties. He informed me of his visits, even sending photos! Described in detail what duties he performed from feeding, changing water and litter, to brushing and cuddle time with them. Even cleaning accident s that our pets had in various spots of our home. I would not hesitate to have Brendan take care of your family pets. We will no doubt be using his services for our future trips.

Brendan took amazing care of Speckles, I would highly recommend him. He provided timely updates to how Speckles was doing throughout the day, which was a nice touch while I was away on vacation. This man is the Cat Daddy and the Cat Whisperer!

Brendan did a great job looking after our cat. She can be wary of new people, but she let him give her some pets each visit. Brendan provided us with daily updates and pics, which really helped our piece of mind. We certainly recommend Brendan to anyone in need of a cat sitter.

Brendan is the only person I trust to care for my medically complex, sensitive Italian Greyhounds, and that includes family. One time, while I was on a girls’ trip in Arizona, my husband had to go to the emergency room late at night. Brendan immediately went to our home in the middle of the night to care for our dogs. They’re particular and cat-like in many ways, and I was completely at peace knowing they were safe, comforted, and in the best hands. His calm presence, deep intuition with animals, and genuine compassion make him a truly exceptional caretaker. Anyone would be lucky to have Brendan looking after their beloved pets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Southfield cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $28.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
