Hi~ I'm Ylen. I've been around animals since I took my first steps.
I'm autistic my joy and special interest is nature and animals. I've worked as vet assistant and have been pet sitting professionally since 2013. Started specifically with a cat hotel and fostering stray cats, rescuing and working along with other rescuers as well as volunteering at massive spay campaigns in the dominican republic.

I have really good memory to remember a lot of details from each cat I take care of, since I've known so many different personalities in cats, that's something that truly makes a difference with cat sitting.

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

Ive been Professionally cat sitting since 2013. Taking care of up to 30 cats at a time with different types of needs and personalities.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love how I connect with cats. Because im autistic I understand their needs and how overwhelming it can be to be in a new environment.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 3 cats. Angel a white long haired I rescued at the dominican in one of the spay campaigns, she is now 12 years old, she is deaf and very demanding with her needs. I also have 2 black teenagers (voodoo and hex), I rescued them in Fayetteville 3 years ago. They're the joy of my home since angel mostly sleeps all day.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I go with the flow with them. I let them be curious at their own pace. I let them smell me before I go to them, cats are different than dogs, so using treats doesn't always help, they need to feel safe first.

Ylen was absolutely amazing with my cats. She was attentive, responsible, and clearly genuinely cares about animals. She followed feeding instructions perfectly, kept everything clean, and made sure my cats felt comfortable and loved while I was away. I came home to happy, relaxed cats and a tidy space. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate cat sitter.

Fayetteville cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $23.00. 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!
