Learn More About Melissa

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy getting to know the cats over a period of time through repeat visits. I especially enjoy getting to cat sit my former foster cats- visiting them in their forever homes is the best reward!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have four kitties, named Yuna, Gandalf, Ernest, and Cayman. Fun fact- Yuna is their mom! I rescued her and her three kittens when the kittens were under a week old. It’s been rewarding to see them grow up together.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

I’d recommend setting your expectations immediately to see if it will be a good match for both you, the pet parent, and the sitter.

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

Setting up the meet and greet is very important to me. I like to have enough time at the meet and greet to go over fine details and give the cats a chance to introduce themselves to me and vice versa.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I make sure to verify that all cats are accounted for and that anything possibly harmful is placed away. I always make sure that all windows and doors are closed and locked upon leaving the premise.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes- my family lives closeby so I rarely travel during the holidays. I usually pick up extra shifts at the cat shelter as well while the other volunteers are traveling during this time period.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I like wand toys so that I can get some steps and activity in too!

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

I let them approach me on their own terms. What are they motivated by? Food, toys, brushing? I understand that it may take several visits for the cats to open up to me, and that is ok! I never want to increase fear and anxiety in a cat.

Melissa takes care of my family cats everytime we have to travel. I am a proud cat dad and only will leave my cat babies with someone I 100% trust. Melissa is that person, she loves and cares for my animals just like they were her own. She goes above and beyond when she comes to take care of them, she plays with them, gives them treats and gives them lots of love. Anyone who has Melissa taking care of their kitties has a loving sitter who will go above and beyond to care for their animal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Morrisville 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.
