New update: I am fully vaccinated for covid, received the latest booster for the new covid strains in December 2022 and will wear a mask if preferred.

I'm 50 years old and have had cats all my life, as a kid and adult. As a young adult I took my mom's Siamese cat named Kitten when she couldn't.

I'm 50 years old and have had cats all my life, as a kid and adult. As a young adult I took my mom's Siamese cat named Kitten when she couldn't. He had diabetes so I gave him insulin shots twice a day. He lived to 16 years old. I got Milo as a kitten, she was a friend's barn kitten that he was trying to give away. She lived to 18 years old.

Right now I have 3 cats: Nemo and Lilo I got from a friend 6 years ago who couldn't keep them anymore at 3 and 4 years old. Xena I got as a kitten 4 years ago, someone had dumped a litter of kittens near the road and I saw the finder's ***** post. Cleo was my foster in January, February, and March. She was 6 months old at the time and has since been adopted.

Have questions? Feel free to send me a message!

Kelly did a fantastic job watching our 4 cats, as usual, but went even more above and beyond this time managing ants in food dishes across multiple days and helping to give my little old man pills and an inhaler through varied approaches. I always appreciate how she treats them with such care, even when the situation is challenging. Thanks again for an amazing pet sitting experience :)

This is the second time Kelly has taken care of our two Maine Coons for us when we were out of town. Like the previous time, Kelly did an amazing job of charming my nervous cat and taking care of my other cat's medical needs. They communicated during and about each visit. Both times Kelly has taken care of them, we have come home to happy and chill cats, which was not our experience previously using a different service and provider! Kelly is EXCELLENT!

Kelly is simply wonderful with my shy cats. By the end of the week they were greeting her on arrival instead of hiding! She communicated daily. We really enjoyed the daily kitty pictures! This is the second time I've booked Kelly. She is reliable, responsible, and truly loves cats.

Kelly consistently provides care that keeps our cats healthy and happy. It is a relief to have a person well versed in medication delivery to care for our oldest cat. Thank you, Kelly, for continuing to be caring, reliable and professional.

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.

Hugo 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!
