Why choose me?

As a fellow cat parent, I know how hard it can be to leave your beloved kitties behind when you travel. That’s why I care for your cats as if they were my own. This isn’t just a job to me—it’s a daily priority and a true passion.
My goal is to provide you with peace of mind and your cats with the highest level of care, so you can truly relax while you're away. I love building trust and forming bonds with each kitty I care for—there’s nothing more rewarding than earning their affection.
With every visit, you'll receive photos, a detailed update, and check-in/check-out messages. I also take pride in capturing beautiful and fun moments, so you can expect some adorable bonus shots with your booking!

🐾 What You Can Expect from Every Visit:

🍽 Feeding Routine
I follow your kitty’s exact dietary needs—whether it’s wet food, dry, raw, supplements, toppers, or treats. Whatever they need, I’ve got it covered!

💧 Fresh Water
I refresh all bowls and fountains daily to ensure your cat always has clean, appealing water. No stale or half-empty bowls on my watch!

🧼 Litter Duty
I scoop daily, handle all types of litter (including Litter Robots). I also take care of any hairballs or vomit messes so everything stays fresh and tidy.

❤️ Affection & Playtime
Once the essentials are handled, it’s time for some love and attention—if your cat wants it! Whether it’s lap cuddles, brushing, toys, laser pointers, or just quiet company, I always follow your kitty’s lead.

📸 Daily Updates
You’ll receive check-in and check-out texts, plus a detailed summary and plenty of cute photos after each visit. Have a question? I’m just a message away and happy to help.

💊 Medication Administration
I’m trained in giving pills, liquids, and supplements. I handle meds confidently and gently.

🫧 Clean & Safe Home
I treat your home with respect and leave it as clean—or cleaner—than I found it. I’m mindful of door dashers, home security, and making sure your cats stay safely indoors.

🐱 Meet & Greet:

Once you submit a request, I’ll reach out to schedule a complimentary 15-30-minute Meet & Greet. This gives me a chance to learn your cat’s routine, get to know their personality, and go over access instructions and any special quirks. Most importantly, it lets your kitty meet me in a relaxed, no-pressure way before our first official visit.

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! I’d be honored to care for your cats and would love the chance to meet you all. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out.
With purrs and gratitude,
Mya 🐾

Learn More About Mya

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

I have had pets all my life from cats,dogs,fish, and turtles. But I have been a professional pet sitter for the past 8 years!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy getting to meet many new faces and getting shy kitties to open up!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I have 3. Sméagol is a purely white 19 year old DMH. Loki is an orange 3 year old tabby. And Thor is my grey 3 year old tabby. They are my world!

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

I usually like to set up an initial meet and greet where I can meet you and the cats and go over the routine. From there we both make sure we are ok with continuing the booking and then I will usually connect a few days before to confirm booking and pickup a key if needed! I prefer to overcomunicate so we are both clear on expectations!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Most of the time! I do book up fast though so don’t hesitate to reach out on advance!

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love those spring toys! But they sure do love to lose them under the stove! I also love the cat dancers!

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

I always like to give them time to warm up to me! Every cat is unique and needs a different approach. Whether we just sit in silence and enjoy each others company, or I trick them into coming out to play with treats! It really varies. I enjoy the challenge of getting each shy cat to open up!

Mya took wonderful care of our kitties while we were away, as well as our house. She worked patiently with our picky eaters and made sure medication was given on time. Her updates included lots of great photos and details, and she was very communicative. She made sure our cats were happy when we got home and our house was in order. She is a great option for anyone needing an attentive and caring cat sitter!

Mya was the best sitter we have ever hired to care for our three cats. As a dedicated and high strung cat mom, my expectations are high and I am always extra anxious when we invite a new person into our home to entrust our kitties with them. I left what felt like a novel of instructions for Mya (on top of what we discussed at our meet and greet), and she took each and every note seriously. It meant so much to me that she genuinely cared about our cats, and she showed that by doing things like remembering which toy is our oldest cat's favorite and bringing that one out for him, and by letting our youngest cat climb into her arms like a baby for snuggles. She cleaned up several piles of puke from our IBS-adled baby, and made sure to give each of them love and attention at every visit. After the first update (very thorough with pictures of everything from freshly scooped litter boxes and full food bowls to goofy playtime shots and treat time) we immediately relaxed and knew our babies were in great hands. We looked forward to our updates knowing we would see several pictures of the cats having a great time! In fact, when we got home, our cats were almost like, "oh, just you?" 😂 which has never happened before! We will be repeat clients so long as Mya will have us.

Mya took care of our kitties over a 3 week vacation and, wow, did she exceed expectations. She pretty quickly had to deal with a medical kurfuffle and handled it like a pro - sending updates and providing medication. It was so fun to hear all the ways they were bonding while we were gone! It was very obvious how much Mya cared for our boys and we are so grateful! Couldn’t have asked for better! 💕 also what beautiful photos of the cats were sent everyday!

Mya did a great job. Even my Sgt car came out to greet her. Daisy and Lily were well taken care of while I was gone. Mya took lots of pictures and a couple of videos so I could see how well they were doing. I highly recommend her.

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.

Dayton cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. 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!
