Learn More About Emma

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

I have been cat sitting through Meowtel for over a year now and I absolutely love it. I have regular/repeat cats I get to visit and have been able to bond with those kitties. I am a trusted cat sitter and have cat sit all over the St. Louis area.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to know new cats and spending time with all kinds of cat personalities! The best part is forming bonds with so many cats!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two cats, Sissy and Trico! They are a couple of sweeties, but of course always get themselves into trouble. But I wouldn’t have it any other way! They are my girls :)

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

Find someone you are comfortable with and can trust! These are your babies and they deserve the best care possible. Find someone who is willing to bond with your cat and is dedicated to providing them everything they need and more while you’re away.

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

I always like to do a quick meet and greet when I’m cat sitting for someone new. This includes me coming to their home and meeting them face to face as well as meeting the kitties. This allows me to see where everything is and learn exactly what the cats and cat parents need from me, ask questions, and answer any questions the parents have for me. My main priorities as a sitter are comfort and trust, so I want you and your cat to meet me before I start my first visit.

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

I keep all doors locked at all times, whether I’m there or not. Additionally, I always bring in mail and packages unless asked otherwise and I make sure I know where the cats are before I leave just to ensure they are safe.

Are you usually available during holidays?

My holiday schedule varies, as I do typically go to be with family in Michigan for major holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. However, always feel free to ask me because there’s a chance I will be available!

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toys are catnip bubbles! They are completely pet safe, so all kinds of play is encouraged. My kitties either try to catch them with their paws, eat them, or just watch them float around. I love them because they entertain my cats for long periods of time without stimulating anxiety when we’re done like laser pointers do.

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

I'm very laid back, so my calm energy makes shy or anxious cats comfortable around me. I let them take it at their own pace and try to be as gentle and calm as possible.

Emma took such good care of my two fur babies! She came by twice a day and each time sent a bunch of photos - not just one or two, but pics of each one of my kitties when they were greeting her, or eating, or chilling. She also administered eye drops to one of my boys. I am so grateful to Emma for her kindness and diligence. Would definitely call on her again next time I travel and would recommend Emma to my friends.

Emma was awesome! Our kitty was so well cared for and got lots of snuggles. Emma even stayed late one day after our kitty had thrown up to make sure she was doing ok. Would highly recommend!

Emma is great! She spent quality time everyday with my cat and sent lots of photos. She brought in a package for me, too. I felt like my place was in good hands. My cat seemed really happy when I got home, like she’d had a good time, too.

Emma was wonderful ... friendly with a calming demeanor. She took great care of my senior cat, Marilyn (17 years old). I felt confident & secure while on my vacation. Emma sent me frequent updates & pictures. Everything was in order when I returned. I would definitely hire Emma again.

Emma is kind and considerate and obviously has a "way" with cats as this was the first time my little girl didn't go running at the sight of a stranger. Recommended!

Frequently Asked Questions

Saint Louis cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 cat sitter on Meowtel has been background-checked and reviewed. Every Meowtel reservation may come 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 may come with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
