I'm Bailey
Cat Sitting in Missoula, MT
I aim to create a trusting atmosphere when it comes to watching your kitty... Hello! Do you need someone with a watchful experienced eye to care for your fur-baby? I believe I could be a great fit for you as a cat sitter! I currently have two cats of my own that are almost the center of my world. One of my cats has been diagnosed with FIV and requires a lot of attention to her health. We have given her a liquid medication orally with a syringe but have also given her ear drops, eye drops, and pills hidden in miscellaneous food items. Sneaky little devil always figures out after a dose or two that pill was hidden in her "special" treat...
I aim to create a trusting atmosphere when it comes to watching your kitty. I understand the comfort and trust required to leave your cat for more than a day. I want to help you feel confident in my ability to watch your fur-baby and to keep you updated on my visits with them. I will send photos and videos as well as an update on each of my visits. I will also ensure that their litterbox stays clean and their water bowl full. Food and medication will be given as you direct and play time and cuddles will always be provided.
I am currently a (mostly) stay-at-home mom with my two little boys and two cats. I am also a small business owner. This means my schedule is pretty rigid but we will work through and scheduling conflicts 😊. My limit to sitting your furry friend is the Missoula city limits. I will consider towns near Missoula so feel free to ask! 😊
Learn More About Bailey
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been cat sitting with Meowtel for roughly 4 years now and have been having a blast! I love connecting with new kitties and their parents!
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two kitties, Rogue and Saiph. They are polar opposites but I love them both for their uniqueness. Rogue is a standard cat, you get to pet her on her terms, string toys are the bees knees, cautious of what she eats, hides when new people are around. Saiph is more like a dog ... Her favorite person tends to be the newest one in the room, she likes car rides, being walked on a leash, and will eat anything that smells remotely interesting.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I ensure safety and security of the kitties I'm sitting by making sure I see them each visit. I also treat them all as if they're escape artists when I'm entering and exiting the homes. I pick up anything that is a risk for that specific household or that make me nervous. Whether it's paper towels that a kitty likes to eat, a string toy that may be problematic, or bags of food/treats a kitty is notorious for getting into.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I let all kitties introduce themselves to me. I try to encourage them to approach me and allow them to do so on their own terms and no matter how long it takes.

This is the second time Bailey has been our cat sitter. She took wonderful care of our 2 kittens while we were away for an extended period. We came home to happy and well cared for kitties. Bailey provided great updates and photos/videos daily, which helped put us at ease, and was very flexible when our original return date was delayed at the last minute. We are so grateful to have Bailey as our cat sitter and highly recommend her!

Bailey was great! She promptly replied and was very flexible with a short notice meet & greet and sitter request. Bailey did a great job of keeping us updated on everything about our two kittens with detailed messages and photos. She followed all of our instructions and made sure our kittens were well taken care of while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Bailey!

Bailey's love for felines was obvious as soon as she came to our house and assessed Bo's needs. When visiting Bo while we were gone, she gave us immediate feedback and photos, putting our minds at ease that Bo was well taken care of. We will certainly contact Bailey the next time Bo has the house to himself!

Bailey went above and beyond when taking care of my 2 cats while I was away! She sent lots of photos and descriptive updates that helped me feel a lot better about leaving my cats at home. She made sure the cats had everything they needed and more, I could not have asked for a better cat sitter!

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.
Missoula cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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!
