Thank you! Q: Why should I trust you with my crazy kitties? A: I will take outstanding care of your cat(s) be they sweet, loving, gentle, and affectionate (in other words, super easy) or cat$h!t crazy (in other words, a holy terror). Every cat is (p)aw-inspiring in their own majestic way. I will treat your kitties with love and respect regardless of how they treat me. I'll do everything I can to keep your mind at peace while you are away, because that is what I'd want for my besties! I am fascinated with animals and I'm always studying up! I recently became a certified pet sitter with the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS), which involved lots of studying and passing 43 exams regarding pet sitting, animal care, and business over the course of six months. I guess you can't take the academic out of the pet sitter. Q. Why do you love cats? A. A lot of people say things like "I'm more of a dog person..." and even though it drives me crazy, I get it. Dogs have been domesticated by humans and bred to basically worship the ground we walk on, whereas some time around 4400 B.C. near'bouts the Fertile Crescent, some cat pounced on an entrepreneurial opportunity and struck a deal with us humans: "You give me shelter, maybe a little food and keep the rats coming, and I'll take care of "em for ya!" Our relationship with cats has evolved. However, I think that original pawshake engenders respect! Many cats could survive on their own but choose to grace our presence. Cats are funny, mysterious, inspiring, beautiful, quirky little individuals that make our hearts giggle with delight. I respect, appreciate, and lo...

Everything went good. Even found my litter genie refills which I try to remember to put out!
Gloria
We were very pleased with Katie's care of our boys, especially since it was the first visit with them.
Tara
Katie did an excellent job caring for my girthy girl, Lucy. Katie sent so many pictures and updates every day, which made it easy to relax and not worry how Lucy was doing. Would 10/10 recommend!
Natalia
Katie has been a lifesaver, she went above and beyond in every aspect of the experience and communicated every step of the way. She sure sets the bar high for other pet sitters! Absolutely recommend!
Dustin
Katie's been sitting our cats for almost two years now and it's always such a pleasure. She even went out of her way when our automatic feeder went on the fritz while we were out of the country. We never worry about them while we are gone!

Frequently Asked Questions
The average price for a cat sitter is $26.00.
Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel. 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.
