I'm Samantha
Cat Sitting in Missoula, MT
I believe in being an extension of mom and dad. What I mean is that how you care for your cat is how I will care for your cat. If you twirl 3 times before setting down their food dish for meal time, guaranteed I will twirl 3 times before setting down their food dish. I've never been asked to, but I'd happily do it! I want your furry loved one/s to feel comfortable and at ease, and maintaining their normalcy helps to achieve that.
Learn More About Samantha
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I am a cat person thru and thru. I've had cats for most of my life. But the apartment I am currently living in does not allow for pets. My favorite part about cat sitting is that I'm able to still get my kitty lovings, while also helping families. Being someone you feel comfortable with caring for your fur baby and your home brings me joy.
What is your favorite cat toy?
My favorite car toy is something extremely simple. String! You can add things to it, such as a feather or paper ball. Or you can use it by itself. I've found cats love it. Maybe it reminds them of a rodent's tail? I've found that cats don't need fancy, expensive toys. I've entertained cats with a hair tie twisting in my fingers. But all cats have their own favorite toys. So I want to find out what THEIR favorite toy is. If it's your hair, I'll have to improvise on that one!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I know not all cats are the cuddly, sit on your lap type. I've worked with all different temperaments. With more timid or anxious cats, I find time and no pressure are vital. Being a pet sitter is all about making sure the animals are as comfortable and non stressed as possible. If they don't want to say hello, and would prefer to remain in their safety zone, I give them the space to do so. I never force an animal out of it's safe space (unless there's an emergency!). I speak gently, letting them know I'm there while Mom and/or Dad are away, and that they're safe. Talking to the owners and getting a thorough understanding of their cat's behaviors, likes and dislikes helps

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!
