I'm El | Cat Sitting in Asheville, NC

Cats are special in the world of domestic animal partners. All cats need personalized care and I offer them respect on their terms. I have cared for so many cats through Meowtel and before I joined as well! They have had so many different personalities, almost all accepted me, a stranger, to feed and clean their box. Eventually even the shyest soon wanted some touch or play. All of my own beautiful kitties were rescues, each with their own story. I have excellent references, offer superb attention to detail and my goal is to follow your directions to a T. I love spending time with cats because they ask for our patience, and time to become familiar with their preferences. Most all cats I've met like quiet, and so do I. Close observation of your cats direct...

Learn More About El

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

Definitely over 10 years. I've met so many personalities and love reading about cat behavior. The slow blink works really well for the cat who's just not sure!

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

Definitely have your vet information handy, though I've not needed to use that resource to date. It's extra helpful if you have very detailed medications scheduled to have those written out and placed where I can easily find them. Sharing what you do with filled bags of dirty litter, as well as cat food cans is helpful, I'll follow all your usual clean up duties. With multiple cats I like to know where they usually eat. Feel assured I will treat your home respectfully and leave it clean.

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

We work together to schedule a meet and greet AFTER you have booked. This is for everyone's benefit and strongly recommended by Meowtel. I come to meet you and your cat(s) and ask questions! I listen to all that you wish to share about your cat's personality, habits, favorite toys and hiding places as well as the details of feeding, medication, location of all water bowls and litter boxes. I always like to have the vets number in my book under your name but I've never had to call a vet for a cat fortunately. Cleaning supplies in case of stress vomiting or a loose stool.

Frequently Asked Questions

Asheville cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes 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 comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
