Cat Sitting in Saint Louis, MO

My family always had a cat while I was growing up and they quickly became my best friends. I've learned that life is hollow without a kitty to snuggle up to and care for.

My family always had a cat while I was growing up and they quickly became my best friends. I've learned that life is hollow without a kitty to snuggle up to and care for.

My two senior cats and bearded dragon are my babies and best friends, so I completely understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to take care of your kitties.

When I'm not pet-sitting I am a full-time community college biology teacher. I extend my in depth biological understanding of how organisms work obtained through my Ph.D. and my vet assistant experience to the care of my pet charges. I am extremely capable in administering oral and injectable medications such as insulin along with subcutaneous fluid therapy.

I look forward to chatting with you about how I can best care for your kitties while you are away.

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

I have been cat sitting through Rover since 2022. I have cared for cats daily as a cat owner for over 30 years and have extensive experience dealing with various medical conditions.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two 18-year old kitties named Tora and Hiru. I got them as kittens when I lived in Japan and they are my best friends.

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

The biggest thing regarding security while cat sitting is care surrounding entrances and exits. Some cats attempt to dash out of doors, so I am always extremely cautious when entering and exiting a home to ensure that kitties stay inside. I also always double check that I have locked all doors before I end my visit.

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!
