Evelyn's Troy Cat Sitting  Catopia

I'm Evelyn

Cat Sitting in Troy, MI

Fully cat conversant! I'm a mask wearing retiree who is up-to-date on inoculations and practices good hand sanitation. Also, I am a long-time resident of this area including Birmingham. If the time slot that you require is not available, please contact me. Depending on your needs, I may be able to accommodate you.

My hobbies include genealogy, gardening, reading, antiques and art from the Arts and Crafts era. During the warm weather, I nurture three butterfly gardens that I created on my property. In the cold weather, I spend time on my decade's old genealogy project.

Over the course of 40 plus years, I've had both purebred and rescue cats. My Red Abyssinian was a super senior who had retinal atrophy, diabetes and required subcutaneous fluid. Currently, I have a rescue pure bred Blue Point Himalayan who was abandoned in a feral colony. After he was rescued, over 100 people applied to adopt him. Smurf enjoys a carefully curated repast of hairball treats to preserve his svelte house bison physique...

Smurf enjoys a carefully curated repast of hairball treats to preserve his svelte house bison physique. Smurfs hobbies include furry potato reenactments all over the house, running while singing the song of his people and trampling sleeping humans at dark thirty. My rare four-footed polydactyl calico was rescued from a home with 15 other cats. Ceilidh ("Kaylee") is an elderly, arthritic feline ninja with oversized murder mittens. She happily chooses violence when it is time for a peticure or to see the vet. And, pretty much any time she feels like it because….cat.

I have experience with topical medications, eye/ear drops, diabetic injections and subcutaneous fluid. I am willing to pill but, I prefer liquid medication.

I prefer not to force an introduction and let cats approach me when they are ready. I belong to a group of people that analyze and suggest remedies for cats that have behavioral issues. These tiny tigers are wise, quirky, cuddly, and frequently hilarious. I'm a good communicator, possess common sense, and am reliable. If spoiling your cats is a requirement, I'm your purrfect person.

Please be aware per Meowtel guidelines that households with 3 cats or more is an automatic 45 minute visit.

Additionally, Meowtel suggests visits for cats requiring medication are 45 minutes. This is to accommodate the unpredictable nature of how your cat may react to being handled by a stranger while being medicated.

Currently, due to extensive ongoing road construction, resulting traffic gridlocks and rising fuel costs, I am no longer able to guarantee exact arrival times especially during midday hours when delays are the most unpredictable. I need to make every effort to maintain efficiency and control costs by effectively organizing appointments and routes. I will do my best to meet your needs. Your patience and understanding during this period mean a great deal, and I truly appreciate your continued support.

Evelyn cared for our kitties with such tenderness and attention. She took the time to understand every little detail of their routines, and once we left, she sent the daily updates and photos that made us feel so connected to home. She vacuumed the spaces they love, kept all their bowls clean and full, and made sure our whole clowder felt safe and content. Because of her, we were able to relax completely—no stress, just the comfort of knowing our babies were in loving hands. Evelyn went above and beyond in every way. We’d welcome her back in a heartbeat and are already sharing her name with our neighbors.

I can't say enough good things about Evelyn. I requested her again after using her services in the past, and she once again went above and beyond taking care of my fur babies. She provides daily detailed updates (with photos) regarding actions taken as well as her take on the emotional and physical well-being of her charges. Thanks Evelyn for once again delivering a top-notch experience for both me and my cats.

Evelyn does an absolutely incredible job. When we are away, we have complete peace of mind knowing our cats are being wonderfully taken care of. What sets Evelyn apart is how she constantly goes above and beyond; on her last visit, she generously helped with household tasks like watering plants, bringing in the mail (and even sending pictures of important pieces), putting perishable dog food in the freezer, and doing some laundry. To top it all off, she gives the most detailed, creative updates on how our cats are doing. We are so incredibly lucky to have found her and cannot recommend her services enough!

Evelyn went beyond what we expected in taking care of our kitty. She was exceptional in her communication to us with daily pictures showing us her every step from feeding our cat, to the clean litter box and washing of the dishes and of course our beautiful kitty receiving attention from Evelyn! We highly recommend Evelyn and will not hesitate to have her take care of our precious girl. Evelyn truly loves cats and it is representative of her daily care and love of cats! We highly recommend Evelyn in taking care of your precious kitties!🐱

This is the fourth time Evelyn has taken care of my 3 kitties. Two of my three cats are 16 and 17 and I have no worries when I’m away that they are in good hands with Evelyn. She is very thorough, sending pictures of what has been done after each visit. She always gets back to me right away if I have any questions or concerns. She’s the best!!

What an incredible experience booking Evelyn through Meowtel! Evelyn is such a kind, caring and attentive sitter. Her detailed (and humorous!) messages and communication put our minds at ease while we were out of the country. We cannot say enough about the conscientious care she provided for our senior boy and adult girl. We would not hesitate to have her back to our home to care for our kitties in the future. Thank you, Evelyn, for all you did for our family!

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.

Troy cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $28.00. 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!
