Learn More About Alyssa

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love being able to spend time with the cat (s) whether it be petting them, playing with them, or just watching them be hilarious! I love being able to ease the minds of the cat parents while they are away. Being a cat owner myself, I understand the worry of leaving my cats with a stranger. I do my best to send lots of pictures and videos!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

My advice is make sure to schedule a meet and greet early and not to close to the time you need the visits to start. This allows you to change your mind if you meet with someone and don't get a good vibe. I also strongly encourage you to read reviews from other cat parents that have booked the cat sitter. It also helps to leave instructions, so the cat sitter doesn't have to bother you with questions on your vacation. Instead, we can just send lots of pictures!

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

I always do a meet and greet with a new parent. During the meet and greet, I make sure we cover the following: 1) Time, place, and amount of food 2)Water dishes and if they get tap water or filtered water 3)Litter box locations and where the scoops and garbage is 4)The cat (s) Favorite toys 5)The cat (s) Favorite hiding places 6)How they'd like me to enter the house (key or code) 7)If they need me to check mail 8)If they need me to bring out trash and/or recycling bins 9)If they need any plants watered I make sure to bring my notepad, so I can make notes, so I don't forget anything!

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I make sure to close the door when I arrive. If I am entering through the garage, I close the garage door before entering the house. I make sure that all doors and windows are closed and locked before I leave. If I see something on the ground they shouldn't eat, I will dispose of it right away. I usually leave at least one light on as well.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I am usually available on all major holidays minus Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Wand toys are always a fan favorite! I love this toy called the cat dancer. It is a steel wire with paper rolls at the end. My cats love to play with the paper roll end and the handle end.

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

I do my best to try and move slowly. I tell them exactly what I'm doing and when I'm about to do something. I don't go towards them. Instead I let them come to me. Sometimes this means ignoring them and letting them come to me to check me out. I let them sniff me before I do anything. I usually also play with them with like a wand toy before petting them as this usually relaxes them and starts to build trust.

Alyssa was great with my 3 cats! She sent so many photos and videos that put my mind at ease while I was away. She was able to win over one of my shier cats, and they were best friends by the end. I would definitely book with Alyssa again.

Alyssa did a wonderful job with my shy cats while I was out of town. She provided detailed updates daily and was very understanding when my cats stayed hidden most of the time when she was there. She was thoughtful and gently engaged with them. I would not hesitate to book her again in the future!

Alyssa did great with our two cats, Max and Spot. She engaged with Max in a fun and playful way, and she was sensitive to the needs of Spot who is a little bit shyer. She was sure to give Spot her space when she needed it. She also pitched in with taking out/in our garbage cans which was helpful while we were away. We'll definitely use Alyssa again!

Alyssa did a terrific job, trying to coax out my shy cats. I appreciated that she sought them out and sent me pictures of them, even though they were trying to stay hidden. It always puts a smile on my face to see them.

Alyssa goes above and beyond to ensure great care and attention to all cat-caring details. She was so wonderful for our shy cats and made sure they had good quality play-time on top of keeping all basic needs expertly covered. Alyssa is a cat whisperer, she is absolutely wonderful!!

Alyssa gets cats! She understands & appreciates each kitty\'s quirks and adjusts her energy, approach & care to what best fits them. She took fantastic care of our handsome fur boy & made sure we knew he was in good hands after every visit! We received detailed updates with photos, she followed all of our instructions, and when we returned from our trip we could tell our baby and our home were well looked after. She seems like a very kind person all around! We look forward to continuing to use her services!

Hayley

Alyssa did such a fantastic job with both our kitties! Our older cat has a pretty particular eating routine and she was more than willing to follow his schedule. Our younger cat is shy and didn't want to come out to eat, but Alyssa met her where she was (sometimes under a table) to make sure she had something at mealtime while we were away.

Alyssa gives the best updates of all her care activities along with photos and videos. She isn't put out by 'cat-cidents', and gives lots of cuddles and attention to those demanding kitties. She was a great help in keeping to my girls' schedule while I was away. And she's a great, friendly person. I truly appreciate Alyssa's care, and highly recommend!

Alyssa was amazing! She took care of my two 9 month old kittens for almost a week so we could enjoy a family vacation. She sent pictures and videos every day (twice a day), which helped ease any anxiety that I had leaving the cats. She was an excellent communicator and was very prompt. She went above and beyond and I am incredibly thankful for her.

Alyssa is amazing. My cat Sam is not a shy boy, but it’s about the first time we left him for vacation. I felt a little uneasy in the beginning, but relieved soon after a couple of days. We get daily updates on Sam, including photos, short videos and a few lines. Big thanks Alyssa, will definitely work with you in the future.

Alyssa was great with our shy cat. Alyssa shared detailed updates of her eating, playing, and litter box habits. Our shy cat is adjusting to being solo cat after our other cat passed away. This was our first trip away from her as solo cat and she greeted Alyssa.

Frequently Asked Questions

Osseo cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $27.00. 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.
