I am from Austin, TX where I grew up with cats, dogs, possums. I have done pet-sitting my entire life.
I have stayed at a family friends house for over a week taking care of a 19-year-old hospice cat named Honey who, at a later date than my stay, has since traveled the rainbow bridge into kitty afterlife. I can provide this reference if you need.
My day job is an accountant at a public corporation with a hub in Downtown St. Louis. On a typical non-holiday work week, I drive to work Weds-Friday. And Monday and Tuesday I typically WFH/work from home.
Saturdays and Sundays are usually free days if I am not traveling or have other obligations (running errands, EATING!, celebrating special occasions, attending local festivities, PRIDE, volunteering, etc.)
Outside of work I love crossword puzzles, socializing at new restaurants, going to concerts, traveling, and exploring parks/nature-watching.
I am willing to work in St Louis City County and St Louis County. And IL.
Thank you for considering me. I would love to take care of your kitties young and old.
Learn More About Emily
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
The cats! They feed off good energy and vice versa. I enjoy the 1 on 1 time because cats are most in their element with a little added affection :) &&& there’s always something more to learn! I enjoy earning their precious love and trust as only true cat whisperers can :)
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have 1 cat! She is a domestic short hair female named Topo turning 10 in June. But she’s a forever kitten to me!
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Disclose as much information about your cat as possible: habits, preferences, things they love, things they hate, things they’re not allowed to do (if any). With regard to cleaning up messes/“accidents”: what cleaning agent is best to clean which type of flooring, if multiple. Location of all trash cans/ dumpsters. Where can the catsitter park, i.e. where is it safe and won’t disturb any street sweeping, emergency vehicles, delivery drivers or neighbors. If you have more than 1 cat, do they need to be separated? Or eat separately? Any special treatment? Does your cat have a preferred vet & emergency vet. Location of any and all cat carriers.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes! Just depends on the Holiday. I usually stay local to St Louis but occasionally travel. Contact me ahead of time for any questions.

Emiky was truly wonderful with our kitty, Noodle! Her communication during every visit put our minds at ease and built our confidence in her. She handled Noodle's nightly meds without issue, and played with / brushed Noodle throughout the each visit. And the most important part - Noodle was comfortable with and eager to receive love and attention from Emily! We're very happy with our first experience hiring through Meowtel. We will definitely hire Emily again!

Emily is awesome. She sent lots of pictures and video. Our cats were so much more chill when we got back home than they usually are, so I think they are as happy with her as we are.

This was our first experience with a hired sitter having relied on helpful friends and neighbors previously and were hesitant with someone we didn't know. Emily blew our expectations out of the water. She was an excellent choice - great communication skills including when bad weather hit our area, wonderful updates so we can see how the kitties were doing while away, attentive and caring with the fur babies, and went above and beyond when we had a non-kitty related home issue crop up. We cannot recommend Emily enough and will be planning to book with Emily again in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:
- More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
- 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.
- Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.

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.
Saint Louis cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $23.00. 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!

Emily was like the Mary Poppins of cat sitters. Always checked in with us to report how our babies were doing and send photos and videos. Our girl tends to be skittish with new people but both cats instantly loved her.

I'm very happy with the care Emily provides for my cat and highly recommend! From the very first visit, it was clear she has a true gift and my cat loves her. It’s such a comfort knowing he's well cared for and looks happy when I need to travel. On top of that, Emily has been wonderful with his new medication routine, which can be a bit tricky. She’s dependable, kind, and very responsive.

We were in a bind for a last minute cat sitter and Emily was quick to respond and able to set up a meet and greet same day! Ollie received amazing care, got multiple photo updates while on our trip and I knew with out a doubt he was doing GREAT! Care instructions were carried out by Emily without any issues. Will definitely be reaching out again for any more trips!

I've got two cats with strong personalities - one very shy and and another who's an attention loving star. Emily managed both and their medicine (cosequin and inhaler) expertly, even for my very shy boy. Emily went above and beyond and rounded up a couple scissors and cleaning products I had mistakenly left out, and sent detailed updates on my boys every day I was gone.

Emily was absolutely fantastic. She took the time to come meet the kitties before our trip and I felt completely comfortable with them in her hands. She asked thoughtful questions and gave us tons of updates and pictures! will book again!!

Emily is fantastic - she’s sat for us a ton of times, so that’s not a surprise. She’s made friends with my shy and nervous cats and is great at keeping us updated on what’s going on while we’re away. What I want to note particularly, though, is her flexibility - my grandmother passed last week and we had to travel on very short notice to attend her services. Emily was so responsive and so helpful during a time that was really difficult and fractious for us - very much appreciated.

Third reservation with Emily - this one was nervewracking because our oldest girl had been very sick immediately before. We were so nervous about leaving her - and Emily was fantastic about keeping us posted about how she was doing, along with pictures and observational notes. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Charis

Emily was professional, and an excellent communicator—sending us lots of lovely videos of our 3 cats playing while we were away. When we returned, it was obvious our cats had had the best care. 10/10 recommend Emily for your next trip!
Caitlin

Had another reservation with Emily - this time a scheduled trip - she knocked it out of the park as usual! St. Louis was hit with some horrendous weather while we were out of town; our house specifically was in the path of one of the tornadoes. Emily made sure that our cats were cared for and safe and kept in touch with us to make sure we knew what was going on back home.
Caitlin

Emily was amazing looking after our horde of cats - we have two girls in particular that are VERY shy and she charmed them both almost immediately. Emily’s updates and videos made us feel so comfortable that they were being looked after while we were gone - we’ll definitely be booking with Emily again.

Emily did a wonderful job keeping us updated on our four babies and kept a close eye on one of our boys who has IBD. She also did a great job sending us pictures and videos every day. Our cats are often skittish around new people but they cozied up to her very quickly so we know they felt safe and comfortable.

Nice to be away and know your cat is in good and gentle hands. Max also know as HissyfitGrouchypants is not the easiest cat but Emily managed wonderfully and we will request her again.

Emily is literally a cat whisperer. My cat was all over her in the first few minutes of meeting her. She was so kind and caring and I can tell she genuinely wants to do what is best for each feline friend. She sent me wonderful updates while I was away and left my home as clean (if not cleaner) as I left it. I could tell my cat was taken care of so well because when I came home, he was so friendly and was still on a normal sleep schedule (which only happens if he gets in enough playtime each day). Thank you so much, Emily! You are lovely!
Caitlin

This is our second time booking with Emily - just like last time, she was incredibly communicative and sent such great updates and photos that made us feel good about leaving our cats in her care. A couple of our cats are particularly shy, but that still isn’t a problem for her! They were very happy to see her again 😊
Pascale

This was the first time using Meowtel and we were very fortunate to find Emily. Emily took wonderful care of our cat, Monkey, who is shy and easily scared. We received pictures and videos of her playing and eating every day we were away. We highly recommend Emily. She is definitely our preferred catsitter.
Natalie

Emily has been my go-to cat whisperer. My shy little girl really comes alive when Emily visits and I love seeing her so happy! Plus Emily takes THE BEST photos of her! She catches my kitty girl's funny faces and cute poses. The are so many pics that I want to frame!
Caitlin
August 12, 2024
I think the fact that this is our fourth reservation with Emily should really speak for itself; we’ve got quite a few cats, some of whom are shy, ill, or otherwise require a ton of time and attention. We know we don’t need to worry even a bit about any of the cats if Emily’s watching them while we’re away. 🥰
Natalie

Emily was soooo amazing with my babygirl! My little Countess is a shy girl but she immediately warmed up to Emily. I got a lot of great updates, pics, and videos that showed my babygirl having fun and looking relaxed. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my kitty was well taken care of. Thank you, Emily!!! 😻

Emily was quick to reply when I needed help in spite of the fact that I really didn’t give her much notice! She was easy to work / plan with and was great with my cats ensuring that their routines were followed. I knew they were in good hands and Emily kept me updated thru pictures and videos over the 5 day period. I highly recommend Emily!!
