I have years of experience caring for cats of all ages (from bottle babies to elders) and medical needs. I spend my free time teaching future vets how to handle kitties stress-free, and looking after foster kittens that struggle in a shelter environment. I like to set clients up for success with communication up front; I want to know your expectations, what your cat(s) are used to, and how I can help fill in while you're away. This way, we can have a smooth introduction to each other!

Learn More About Keegan

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

I've cat-sat (if that's the correct past tense) and fostered kitties for six years. My job has involved working with cats of all ages and health statuses over the past few years. I look forward to getting to meet and bond with many more cats!

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am frequently available for holidays, as I work in the area. I should be available most summer breaks, winter breaks, and three-day weekends/federal holidays throughout the year.

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

I like to start slow and go with what you know. You see your own cat(s) every day, and know their likes and dislikes best. I understand being timid, and often lots of treats and toys to start building a bond to carry us through the catsitting experience.

Keegan is one of the gentlest individuals I've ever met! He shows genuine care and concern for every animal he meets, as well as their owners! I've been happy to have him as the sitter and medical decision-maker for my own pets when I travel. A kind soul and a licensed veterinarian makes for the perfect cat sitter in my opinion.

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.

Starkville cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $20.00. 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!
