Learn More About Alex
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I enjoy meeting the beloved babies of the communities around me. I have met some of the sweetest babies in my cat sitting days. I love seeing how the play, talk, and some of their silly habits. :)
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have 2 Maine Coon cats. Their names are Hank and Bronco. They are the light of my life and bring joy into each and every one of my days. They are big boys that love to snuggle and play.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I have a cat that is anxious, and I have a few strategies that I use with him. If he is hiding under the bed or a different tight space, I will lay on the floor with him and read, or just talk to him to ensure he knows that I am not rushing him out. I also like to use treats to show them I bring peace and love!

We had a really good experience with Alex. She took great care of Nila and kept us updated with regular messages, photos and videos. Our generally anxious cat seemed calm, comfortable and well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Alex to anyone looking for a reliable cat sitter.

Alex has cared for my two cats on numerous occasions over the past three years that I've known her. My cats, who are often anxious and slow to feel comfortable around others, have become so close with Alex and love getting to cuddle and spend time with her. Alex is incredibly thoughtful, caring, organized, responsible, and trustworthy. She always texts me pictures and videos of them, lets me know how they are doing, and is incredibly generous and gracious with her time and energy. Over the past few months, I have had to be out of town navigating complex family health issues frequently, and she is always willing to watch my cats while I am away. Knowing they are in such good hands brings me so much comfort during stressful life circumstances. What makes Alex so great is that she genuinely cares about my cats - she shows them the same love and care she shows her own cats. I would highly recommend her to anyone, especially those with more sensitive cats, who need an exceptionally skilled and thoughtful cat sitter. She is the best!

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.
Hamel cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $31.00. 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!
