Hi everyone, my name is Rachel. I have been cat sitting for 6+ years and absolutely love it. I have two sweet kitties at home that I adore.

I have been cat sitting for 6+ years and absolutely love it. I have two sweet kitties at home that I adore. Moira is a chunky 8 year old rescue who loves to snuggle and Pippa is my tiny kitten who likes some snuggles but mostly just runs around like a maniac!

I know it can be stressful to leave your kitties at home when you’re away but I am here to give you comfort and peace of mind. I will do whatever I need to make your kitties feel safe and comfortable when I’m taking care of them.

I can’t wait to meet you and your kitties soon!

Learn More About Rachel

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been cat sitting for 6+ years. I have a lot of experience and have taken care of many sweet kitties throughout the years!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

YES! I have two kitties. Moira is a sweet, snuggly, talkative 8 year old and Pippa is a little firecracker who never likes to cuddle because she’s too busy running around.

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

I always give cats their space and let them come to me first. I greet them with a little hello and leave treats for them so they know I’ve been there. I never want to make them uncomfortable or more anxious while their pet parent is away.

Rachel did an excellent job taking care of our cat while we were away! She came over and spent quality time with our cat and sent us multiple pics of him everyday she came over! She communicated with us promptly and was very easy to work with. We would use her again for future trips and would highly recommend her to anyone else seeking a reliable cat sitter!

I am so thankful for Rachel. She sent me a lot of photos every day and gave me updates on how my cat was doing with his new medication. I felt safe leaving my cats under her care and she gave me peace of mind. The pictures she sent me made it obvious my cats warmed up to her very well.

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.

Kansas City cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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!
