Cat Sitting in Ballwin, MO

Hello! My name is Dee Dee and I have loved and had cats my entire life. I’m a retired teacher and empty nester (during the school year) and I’d love to watch your kitties when you can’t.

I have a super flexible schedule and am extremely patient with shy cats. I’m comfortable with all ages and personalities. Cats know “their people” and I would love to get to know yours.

As a retired teacher, I follow directions like a champ. I will send updates and pictures each day so you’ll feel like you’re with your baby.

My goal is for you not to worry about a thing when I’m watching your kitties.

Learn More About Dee Dee

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two kitties, brother and sister and part Maine Coon. Grayson (aka Bubs) is a 20 pound snuggle bunny and Nalee is the Princess.

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

If the vibe isn’t right with whoever you’re meeting with…it’s not a match. You’re leaving your fur babies with this person so make sure you feel a connection.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Always available on holidays. Family is all in town so travel isn’t part of my traditions. I’m here to help.

Dee Dee is amazing! she took great care of my four cats while I was out of town for a week. one of them even got a little sick while I was gone, and she was very communicative and willing to do whatever needed to be done to make sure my baby was taken care of. I highly recommend Dee Dee! she's great!

Dee Dee was amazing! She gave Sadie great time and attention and sent me videos every day. She even crocheted a bed for her since I didn’t have one.

Dee Dee is always timely and shares any concerns immediately if there are any. Mickey does not like new people but has taken to Dee Dee well - even if it’s just staring at her from afar 😹 Leaving your pet while you travel is hard, but knowing she is looking after my furbaby keeps me at ease!

Dee Dee makes leaving my furbaby easier. I know he’s cared for well by her because he runs to greet her every visit! I don’t get that treatment 😹

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.

Ballwin cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
