Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

So far, my favorite cat sitting reservation has been with Bella. She is so adorable and extremely affectionate. She followed me everywhere and purred while she was on my lap! Her cat dad was very easy to work with as well. This assignment was sooo much fun!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I am the proud cat parent of Velvet! Velvet is my baby girl! She came into my life in November 2018, shortly after she turned a year old on October 12th. She has middle name...Rose. I called her Velvet Rose one day after I shortly adopted her, and it stuck! Sometimes I call her Velvet Rose when she gets into mischief! Ha!

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

Open and clear communication is key! Be specific about routines and your cat's personality and preferences. I have found that written notes help me to retain information better, and I leave a Cheat Sheet out for people who watch my cat when I am away!

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

I always like to have a Meet & Greet appointment before I begin my assignment so I can meet the cat(s) and the cat parent(s). I think this meeting will help us determine if it's a good fit. This meeting will help me get acquainted with the cat(s), especially if they have special needs.

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

For the cats: * Knowing their habits: Before the cat-sitting begins, I'll ask about the cats' typical routines, including their feeding schedule, favorite hiding spots, and any areas that are off-limits. * Emergency contacts: I'll always have the owner's emergency contact information, as well as the vet's details, readily available. * Monitoring their health: I pay close attention to the cats' behavior, eating habits, and litter box use to ensure they seem healthy and happy. Any unusual changes would be immediately communicated to the owner. * Secure feeding/play: I ensure food and water bowls are secure and clean, and that toys are safe and appropriate for the cats. * For the home: * Understanding security features: I'll familiarize myself with the home's specific security features, such as alarm systems or unique lock mechanisms, as instructed by the owner.

Are you usually available during holidays?

For the most part, yes, I am available during holidays when I am in town. I will plan accordingly.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toy is the laser pointer! Velvet, my cat, loves it! She gets so excited and it is hysterical watching her chase after the red light!

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

I let cats that are timid or anxious approach me on their terms. I speak in a soft, gentle voice. If there is a particular toy that the cat likes, I will use that toy to build rapport. I patiently wait.

Therese if fantastic, the best cat sitter I have had, and I have tried a few. She is extremely professional and punctual. She is very detailed oriented and took care of every aspect of pet care (food, water, play, litter boxes) and every grabbed the mail. She has a great touch with cats, and even got my difficult old lady cat to play with her. I would highly recommend Therese to other cat owners.

Therese was so attentive to our kitties and gave us constant updates on how they were doing. She even went out of her way to make sure one of cats wounds was healing properly! We highly recommend her to watch your cats!

This is the second time Therese has cared for my cat. I totally trust her with my home, and my cat. She followed instructions, played with him a lot and sent me daily updates with fun and funny pictures and video's. Meowtel is a tremendous resource, and Therese is a terrific ambassador for their services. I recommend Therese 110%.

This is the first time I have ever used a cat sitting service and I am so glad I did, because Meowtel, and especially Therese were excellent to work. The process was simple, and my cat and I really appreciated the chance to Meet and Greet Therese. From that first meeting I was put at ease both because Rumi took to her right away, and she was very thorough and professional in asking questions and taking notes. While I was away she sent pictures and daily recaps about how it was going....I was never worried about a thing. I felt it well worth the cost. I highly recommend Meowtel, and Therese......she'll treat your cat with the same love she does her own, thank you again.

Therese has pet sat for our dog and two cats for many years when we lived in St. Louis. We could go out of town with peace knowing our pets were in excellent care. Maria is a very shy cat. She feels very comfortable around Therese. That says a lot for Maria as she 99% of the time hides. Now that we live in Jacksonville, FL when Therese visits the pets become excited. Ella likes to hang out with Therese in her bedroom and just loves when Therese does treat time each night. Tux loves to head bump Therese. Maria even jumps up on her lap when sitting on the couch. I think Therese is the only guest we have that she does not hide.

Therese is very thorough. She takes great pride in her work and does whatever is needed to get it done. I’d say her work ethics stand out.

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.
