Learn More About Natalie
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
My favorite thing about cat sitting is selfishly the oppurtunity to spend time with all different types of kitties! I love my cat, endlessly, but I also adore my friends’ and family members’ cats so very much. I believe every cat is unique and beautiful and the more cat friends, the merrier! I also know that when I leave Toby to travel, it’s hard to find someone that will tend to his needs and love him the same way I will. As a result, I love being that for other people so that they can have peace of mind knowing their cats are in great hands☺️✨
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I currently have one orange kitty named Toby! He is the love of my life (oh, and of course my partner too). I rescued Toby three years ago and I believe he is my soul cat. I’m one of those crazy cat ladies that misses him even when I’m gone for a few hours, so you can imagine how much I miss him when I’m away for vacation or work! 🐈
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I’ve dealt with my fair share of timid and anxious cats in my life. I intuitively understand that caring for cats requires patience and gentleness, especially for those who are uncomfortable around strangers. I believe speaking in a calm voice, sitting in their space but not alarming them or coercing them, and spending as much time as possible is the best way to assure a cat that you are a well-intentioned friend.

Natalie took great care with our skittish and anxious kitty Luna. She spent the first few days sitting with her and letting her get comfortable and it worked like a charm. Luna came out for snacks, then cuddles, then some outdoor play time more quickly than we ever expected. The updates and photos showed clearly how much she was enjoying her new friend. Natalie also went above and beyond what was asked, staying extra time when Luna was finally engaging and cleaning and tidying up bowls, etc. We will 100% rebook with Natalie next time we travel.

Natalie took care of our 4 babies for a week and did a wonderful job! One of cats is skittish about new people but warmed up to her very quickly. Natalie always gave us updates and sent us pictures with every visit, reassuring us that they are being well taken care of. The cats seemed a lot less stressed when we got home. It is clear that cats are very much her passion as she was very affectionate towards them. Thank you again!

Natalie was absolutely amazing with my kitten Clara! Our family went away for a week and I was so worried about leaving our 5 month old kitten. As soon as I met Natalie, I felt relief. Natalie more than lived up to my first impressions. She’s smart, kind and personable and it felt like she really loved my kitty! She went above and beyond and even helped me out when my dogs needed to come back a day early from boarding. Natalie was excellent at communicating and giving me updates. I knew Clara was loved and cared for - that peace of mind is invaluable! Thank you Natalie!!

Jessica that is SO incredibly sweet and thoughtful! I miss Clara so much and am happy knowing she has such a wonderful family. Thank you again for trusting me with your baby! 💕

Natalie was the absolute best to take care of my old dumb cat while I was away for the weekend. You can tell she really loves cats - she took great pictures and sent updates the whole time. Was able to easily follow logistics instructions and even cleaned up some hairballs 💀 sorry Natalie. She went above and beyond taking out trash and I’m pretty sure she emptied my vacuum too?? Natalie’s my girl.

Natalie was the most **incredible cat sitter**. She responded to my inquiry lightning fast. I had to leave town unexpectedly for a medical issue, and she jumped right in. I felt immediately comfortable trusting her; she's so kind. Knowing she was taking care of my kitty was a huge blessing! It was such a stressful time, but I could tell Natalie really loved my cat Boba (who has a lot of personality and energy!) Natalie sent me regular updates, pictures, videos, and when my time away got extended, she rolled with it and was able to continue care. I really don't know what I would have done without her. She's so amazing, friendly, and I'm so glad to have found her. ☺️ I recommend her 1000%!!! Thank you, Natalie!

Natalie went absolutely over and beyond looking out for my cat Buttons while I was out of town. Quick response, photos/videos, and just overall being great to work with. In fact, I keep walking into the living room to Buttons just staring at the front door hoping Natalie comes back for a hang. Can’t recommend her enough!

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.
Newport cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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!

This is the second time Natalie has watched my kitties and she is always phenomenal! Knowing my cats are being watched by someone so sweet and patient has made my holiday travels so much less stressful. She sends many photos and videos while I’m away and even goes above and beyond by cleaning up kitty messes so I have a clean home to come to! She’s such a gem and I would 100% recommend her!!

Thanks so much Mallory! S & K are my best buds and I loved spending time with them again ☺️✨

This was my first time booking Natalie as Obsidian’s sitter and I’m SO pleased with her! She went above and beyond to make baby boy feel comfortable with her, got on the floor and played with him, and really bonded with him while also respecting his space. She sent great videos, photos, and gave me updates. I will absolutely book her again with full confidence that my Obsidian is in great hands. I highly recommend Natalie!
Response from Natalie
Thank you so much Kelli! Obsidian and I were best buds by the end of my visits and I treasure him dearly! He is lucky to have such a great mom💕

I cannot recommend Natalie enough! I recently left my cats in her care for 10 days — the longest I’ve ever been away from them — and I was so anxious at first. But Natalie went above and beyond to make sure my cats were not only cared for but truly loved while I was away. Her communication was outstanding, keeping me updated daily with photos and little updates that completely eased my mind. I could tell my cats were happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Knowing she was there allowed me to enjoy my trip without constantly worrying. If you’re looking for someone who is professional, reliable, and genuinely cares for your pets, Natalie is the one! I’ll be telling everyone I know to book her. She’s simply the best!!!
Response from Natalie
This is so kind, thank you Jillian! Garlic and Linguini are the cutest, loudest, and sweetest cats 🐈⬛Give them a hug for me :)!

Natalie has watched Belly kitty multiple times. The first time for almost 2 weeks. From the moment Natalie came by for a house/kitty intro I knew she’d be great. She’s a sweet person who obviously cares about animals. I definitely recommend her to anyone wanting someone extra caring to watch after their pet!

That is so kind. Thanks so much Elle, I love Belly! ☺️

Natalie is a big cat. Her greatest strength is immediately determining the personality of any animal and meeting them where they are. Her heart is enormous and she immediately bonds with any animal and person that she meets. She runs her own business, manages her home, and kisses her cats. I would trust her with my family and my animals because she would make immediately take care of them as her own.
Philip

Natalie absolutely adores all cats and I really couldn’t think of anyone I’d rather have be responsible for a pet I love while I’m away. She’s the hardest worker I know and seems to speak some sort of secret language only known to her and cats.
