*UPDATED AVAILABILITY FOR AUG-OCT* Hi! My name is Lily and I’m a 22 year old student local to the Saint Louis area. I adore cats (as well as exotic animals and dogs) and love spending time getting to know animals’ unique personalities.

While I obviously love a cuddly sweet cat, I’m proud to say I’ve won over many picky felines over the years. I value the decernment cats use when getting to know new people and will respect their space while providing opportunities for them to bond with me at their own pace.

It’s important to me that your pet(s) feels safe with me in their home, and it would be my honor to uphold a loving environment for them while you’re away.

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

I’ve been on-and-off cat sitting for a few years. My favorite cat sitting moment was when I used to stay on campus during breaks and watch my friend’s cat. We’d hang out while I did assignments or watched a movie, and even though he was a shy guy at first, we became fast friends and he’d sit on my lap for hours.

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

Feel free to ask questions! Your fur baby will depend on their sitter for comfort and safety while you’re gone, and the right sitter will answer questions honestly. I hope to be someone that inspires confidence that your pet will be well taken care of.

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

I will happily offer a timid cat treats and/or a hand for them to sniff, but I will absolutely not follow them around the house trying to make them like me. I greet every cat with a gentle friendly tone and let them approach me on their terms.

Lily showed up consistently and kept me informed on how my 4 babies were doing, which i really appreciated. She administered oral meds to two of them, and had no issues :) I liked that she came in prepared. I had recorded introductory videos for each of my 4 cats because they look so similar. She showed up having watched the videos which I appreciated. I would have appreciated a few more photos than I received, but that's just me 😅

Response from Lily

Thank you for the honest review! I apologize that the amount of photos you received from the original 4 per day to 6/7 per day upon request did not meet your expectations.

Lily did a wonderful job caring for Nova. She was very responsive and would text me pictures to show how he’s doing. She was respectful of my home, and did a wonderful job overall!

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 $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!
