Learn More About Debbie
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
These are the rules I follow in my own house with my own cats to keep them safe. - have all windows and doors locked at all times. I don't open doors unless I'm expecting something. If door is opened, person has to come in immediately or if I don't know them, I go outside immediately. No candles, no incense, no sprays. I have two cockatiels, two cats (two dogs just recently died, old age diseases), I feed all the squirrels, birds and a 125 gallon fish tank, so am aware of how harmful some things are in the air. I meet cats on their terms. No forcing myself on them, if not wanted. Cats are wonderful creatures. I can easily follow others ways of doing things.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes, I can do all holidays. I have aged out of having parental obligations. I have an open calendar during holidays and weekends.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I do not advance towards them. I sit quietly, maybe put a treat within 10 feet of them, and just sit, patiently and ignore them. They will come when they are ready. I would talk to cat, making cat attracting noises, bring out a toy and play with them..

Lincoln cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $21.00. 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!
