What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love cat sitting! I love seeing all the different cats and all the different personalities! I also love seeing how their personalities come out as you are taking care of them. A pet parent describing their cat is the best! Some kitties are super friendly interactive right away (total people kitties). Some kitties are shy and reserved (like to keep to themselves). And I love them all! I find even the shy and reserved kitties come out of their shell for me and will be super friendly and lovie. And their pet parents are just so astounded and happy when I tell them that their shy kitty is interacting so well when they are away.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have three cats. Sora is my oldest. After I graduated college and started working at the Humane Society his littermates and mom came to us. I’ve had him since he was a baby. Denji and Sosu are my youngest. They are littermates and my black and orange cat duo. Denji is my little shadow and is the cuddliest little boy you will ever meet. Sosu is my observant boy. He likes to watch what’s going on and once he sees his brother interacting he’ll join in.

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

As a pet parent myself (and after working in the animal field) I’m always thinking about safety for my own animals. So I always bring that with me when I watch other pets. I would want anyone that is taking care of my pets to be vigilant and mindful. As well as I take care of my own pets I know that it’s a big deal for someone to trust another person to take care of their babies while they are gone. I would want that person to take care of my pets like they would their own if not better. While I’m watching your pets I always follow guidelines you have set up. I always double and triple check that doors are closed and locked (whether home or leaving). I’m careful when entering/exiting doors as to not have any accidental escapes.

Shy has a love for animals and a heart of gold. She is passionate for the work she does, and makes sure to ask questions if she does not know or understand something. I would trust her with my fur babies and my human kids, she is reliable, respectful, honest, and trustworthy.

Rachel

Shy worked in shelter medicine as a veterinary technician for multiple years. She has experience with cats of all ages ranging from bottle babies to seniors. She has handled spicy kitties, anxious cats, overstimulated cats, and of course very friendly cats. Shy is familiar with administering oral medication (whether liquid or pill), subcutaneous injections such as fluids or insulin, and a wide variety of treatments. She knows how to assess when medical attention is warranted and she communicates. She works with clients and pets to meet their needs and will adapt. She is also willing to go out of her way (literally) to help pets in need.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

Red Wing cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $21.00. 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.
