Learn More About Lucy

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

I’ve cat sat off and on for the last ten years. This was a combination of friends, neighbors, and family.

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

I like to start with a phone or video meet and greet so that we can make sure it’s a good fit and then If possible I like to be introduced to the cat with the parent present so that they feel most comfortable.

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

Taking our time. I let them smell me and get to know me. If the cat parent feels comfortable I’ll leave a worn shirt there so they can get used to my scent when I’m not there (so I feel less like an inteudor to them). I always go off their body language, use soft voices, and bribes! I’ll never force them to come out though, I’ll just hang out and hope they do.

Lucy took great care of Mia while I was out of town and has been fantastic to work with! She asked really thoughtful questions during our initial meeting, like what are telltale signs that your cat isn’t feeling well and where is her carrier located if a trip to the vet becomes necessary. Not only is this critical information to have in case of an emergency, but it shows how seriously she takes this responsibility and the dedication she brings to keeping cats happy and healthy. Lucy was easy to communicate with and provided helpful daily updates. I’m very grateful for her help and will happily book with Lucy again!

Lucy is the best! She took great care of our 2 cats and we will absolutely book her again in the future! Lucy is amazing with communication and gave daily updates with pictures and videos of our cats while we were gone so we knew they were in excellent hands. Definitely recommend booking Lucy if you’re looking for a caring cat sitter! 10/10

Lucy is an exceptional cat sitter—reliable and deeply affectionate towards our rambunctious cat Huxley. She took amazing care of him and we returned to a relaxed, happy cat. We couldn't have asked for more!

Lucy is attentive in her attention to detail and an affectionate pet caretaker. She is committed to communicating and can create and follow the most precise instructions when care for a pet needs to transfer between two people. Lucy is an excellent choice and you (and your pet) will be glad to have her.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ypsilanti cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
