Shelby was wonderful! She sent messages to us everyday with updates and tons of pictures. My children especially appreciated the picture updates. We will definitely ask Shelby to watch our kitty in the future!

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 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 did an AMAZING job taking care of our two cats! We have a diabetic cat and then one with three legs so both come with unique needs. Shelby was great with updates, communication, and being reliable! Our cats felt right at home with her! Absolutely will be booking with Shelby again!!!

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 ❤️

We love working with Shelby! We use her frequently, and every time we know our cat Pickles is in the best hands. She’s reliable, thoughtful, and gives the most detailed updates with great photos that always put us at ease. It’s such a relief knowing Pickles is so well cared for while we’re away. Highly recommend!

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!

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clayton cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
