Learn More About Riley

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I will take any given opportunity to talk about my cats. I have a 7-year-old orange girl cat named, Frankie. My second cat is a 4-month-old gray and white kitten named Ivy. Ivy has been with me for almost 5 months at this point. They both are wonderful to have and I love nothing more than being a cat mom.

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

I ensure the cat parent that it can be overwhelming at times and that that’s okay. I usually will recommend scratchers so that the cat won’t resort to scratching furniture. I tell them how important a balanced diet can be for a cat along with their feeding schedule. I also let them know that their cat will have their annoying and stressful moments but that they don’t mean it and they just want to feel loved.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite toy is usually the wand toys that have toys or feathers at the end. These gets the cat to move around and is interactive. It can be used in a slower way for cats that just want to watch it or you can move it around swiftly for a cat that wants to chase it.

Riley checked in on my sweet kitties for a weekend. She sent many updates which I very much appreciated! Would definitely use her for any future travels.

We really enjoyed having Riley care for our 8 cats and did such an amazing job! The cats feel so much better with an overnight sitter and look forward to requesting services in the future!

Frequently Asked Questions

Cornelius cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $24.00. 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.
