Shelby was fantastic! She had a creative method for administering medication for my kitty who doesn’t always behave during meds time, and she was attentive to messes or anything out of order. She followed all instructions and took great care of my babies.

Shelby doesn’t outstanding job at watching my little kitties. I even have a very shy one that she was able to make feel comfortable while I was away. I am very pleased and I highly recommend Shelby‘s services.

I was so nervous to leave our pets behind, and was instantly reassured and relaxed on our first day away with Shelby’s very sweet check in with me about them. She seems to really care about the cats that she looks after, and made sure that our fur babies got clean food, water and boxes—as well some bonus play time and pets! She sent me multiple adorable and goofy photos of my cats which had myself and my husband cracking up at dinner on our vacation viewing them. I have some pretty shy cats and Shelby was able to make friends with them and she quickly figured out which toy they like best. One of our cats gets a daily med as well, and she had zero issues giving it to him. She is not only a great caregiver to the pets that she looks after, but also is a wonderful, kind and understanding human as well. Thank you so much to Shelby ❤️

Shelby was a wonderful cat sitter! I loved the in-depth updates I received and the above and beyond care she gave my kitties. One of my cats got sick while Shelby was cat sitting and she cleaned it up no problem, while also easing my mind as a cat mom that he had likely just eaten too fast (which was definitely the case). Shelby was kind, thorough, and caring to my sweet babies. I 12/10 recommend!

Shelby is amazing!! Our "KiKi" was a shy rescue kitty and Shelby was able to win her over easily. We can't say enough good things about her care and responsiveness. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that Shelby was back home taking care of our sweet KiKi.

Shelby was a huge help for us on our trip out of town! Our cat Flo is diabetic and requires an insulin injection each morning so we have always been apprehensive to have cat sitters help us given the diabetic care needed. Shelby was very comfortable with the injections and removed any stress we typically have when leaving town with making sure Flo gets the correct care! She sent update images each day and overall was super nice and easy to work with.

Shelby is fantastic, and so caring and loving to all cats, not just her own. She treated my cats just like she would have treated her own pets, and sent me pics to enjoy of them while I was away so I didn't miss them too much! I have no issues recommending Shelby to anyone who needs their pets cared for, and would gladly ask her to pet sit mine again anytime :) She's the best!

Frequently Asked Questions

Clayton cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. 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.
