I'm Ebony
Cat Sitting in Saint Louis, MO
My background has taught me to notice the little things—changes in behavior, appetite, energy, comfort, and routine... Hi, I’m Ebony! I’m a patient, dependable animal lover with years of veterinary technician experience, along with professional experience in doggie daycare, cat sitting, dog walking, and pet retail. I’m also the proud cat mom of Lucas, my sweet hyperthyroid boy. Caring for him has given me personal insight into the patience, consistency, and close attention that cats with ongoing health needs deserve.
My background has taught me to notice the little things—changes in behavior, appetite, energy, comfort, and routine. During each visit, I’ll follow your cat’s normal care instructions, refresh food and water, clean the litter box, and provide affection, playtime, or quiet companionship based on their personality.
I understand that some cats greet you at the door while others need patience and space before feeling comfortable, so I never force an interaction. I’ll treat your cat and home with genuine care and respect while providing dependable communication and thoughtful updates, so you can feel confident that your baby is safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
Learn More About Ebony
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
What I enjoy most is earning a cat’s trust and learning their unique personality. Every cat communicates differently, and I love discovering whether they prefer playtime, cuddles, conversation, or simply quiet companionship. It’s incredibly rewarding when a shy kitty begins feeling safe enough to come closer. I also love giving cat parents peace of mind by making sure their babies remain comfortable, loved, and cared for in their own familiar environment.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I carefully follow all care and home-security instructions provided by the cat parent. During every visit, I check that doors, windows, and entry points remain securely closed, keep potentially unsafe items out of reach, and confirm each cat is safely inside before leaving. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and litter-box habits. I also respect the client’s privacy, handle access information responsibly, and provide dependable updates so they know their cat and home are secure.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I allow timid or anxious cats to set the pace and never force an interaction. I enter calmly, speak softly, move slowly, and give them plenty of space while I complete their care routine. I pay attention to body language and let the cat decide when they feel comfortable approaching me. Keeping their routine and environment predictable helps build trust. Even if they prefer to remain hidden, I make sure they are safe, cared for, and gently reassured by my presence.

Saint Louis cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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!
