Cat Sitting in Bedford, NH
I have rescued, fostered and found homes for many cats and kittens over the last 25 years. I would love to put my cat-passion toward helping oth... I am a passionate cat lover and owner. I got my first cat at the age of 8, after years of begging, and have not been without at least one cat since.
I have rescued, fostered and found homes for many cats and kittens over the last 25 years. I would love to put my cat-passion toward helping others with the care of their cats.
I am extremely reliable, which is essential for cat sitting. I have a flexible schedule, as my kids are now in college, and am willing to travel. Bedford, NH and its surrounding towns are my preferred areas.
Please let me help you with the care of your cats!
Learn More About Susan
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been cat sitting for friends and neighbors for over 30 years. I have taken care of all types of cats, including anxious cats and those requiring medication.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I enjoy petting, scratching, brushing, playing with and talking to the cats that I care for (as much or as little as they will allow).
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Right now I have one kitty named Peanut and a stubborn husband who won’t currently let me get another one.
Are you usually available during holidays?
I am typically available during holidays, weekends and weekdays. In fact, I have very few scheduling constraints unless I am traveling myself.
What is your favorite cat toy?
My favorite cat toy depends on the cat that I am caring for and her/his interests; if they like it, I like it!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I use patience with anxious cats, giving them time to feel more comfortable around me. I find its best to be encouraging and gentle, but let them come to me on their terms. I have had success playing calming music on my phone with particularly uncertain cats. Additionally, I have experience fostering feral kittens. Over the course of several weeks in my care, these feral kittens went from frightened, hissing animals, who didn’t want human contact, to adoptable, sweet kitties. They were all adopted into loving homes and thrived.

Susan was amazing! I was very nervous to leave my cat alone for the first time while I was traveling, but Susan really put me at ease by sending updates and lots of pictures and videos while she was there. My cat is very shy with new people, but he was cuddling up on Susan’s lap halfway through the first visit! I was really able to trust that my kitty was in the best hands with Susan!

Susan is amazing and has such a calming presence! My cat had some issues in the past with being destructive and not eating when I went away, and he had some challenges with a previous sitter. He was completely relaxed with Susan and seemed to appreciate her visits. The updates she provided put me at ease as well. I can't recommend her enough.

Hi Katie! Thank you very much for this wonderful review! I'm so happy that Mr. Waffles had a good experience and that you were able to enjoy your time away. I'd love to sit for you two again!

I cannot recommend Susan highly enough! She took exceptional care of my cat while I was away and treated her like her own. She sent frequent updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind and made it much easier to enjoy my trip. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and pays attention to the little details. My Mika was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when I returned — which says everything. I will absolutely be using her again and would trust her without hesitation.

Susan took excellent care of our cat, Lulu, with lots of attention while we were away. Susan’s communication was terrific, and she sent lots of pictures and videos of Lulu each day. We were impressed by Susan’s coordination of appointments in light of weather challenges, and she kept in touch along the way. FIVE STARS!!

Susan was wonderful to our kitties! She made sure they were eating well, litter boxes cleaned and gave lots of love while we were gone. Our kitties seemed to warm up to her right away. I will definitely use her again in the future for sure.

Susan was able to jump in with very late notice to take care of my two girls. One is very outgoing and one is very shy and she was able to make friends with both of them and keep them calm.

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.
If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.
Bedford cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $28.00. 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!

Susan took the best care of our cat while we were away for a week, sending photos and videos each day. Susan is so dependable, and she communicates often to bring peace of mind throughout our time away. We feel so fortunate to have Susan in our home caring for our little buddy.

Hi Nancy! Thank you so much for this glowing review and for allowing me the opportunity to take care of your sweet Lulu! I can't wait until next time!!

Susan was so good for my cat, Simba who has a defensive attitude and can be very hissy and aggressive when frightened. Susan was calm and won Simba over in just a few visits. I came home to a content and calm cat, which I count s being due to Susan’s way with her.

Another great experience with Susan. Susan took care of my cat Missy for 3 days while I was on a business trip. Missy loves Susan and that puts me at ease. Besides feeding her she spent some quality time with Missy which I am sure comforted her during this time.

If Susan is available next time we go out of town, we will happily have her back! Even my shy kitty seemed to like her and my outgoing kitty seemed genuinely disappointed when it wasn’t her when we got home (it was quite adorable). I would absolutely recommend her to anyone else looking for a sitter for their kitties.

Susan is such a terrific sitter. She has come to know our cat’s habits and preferences and diva expectations, and she indulges all! We are always confident that Susan is caring for our buddy in true concern for her well being in our absence. We are lucky to have found Susan!

Susan took special care of our cat, Lulu, while we were away on an extended vacation. Susan sent photos and video each day to let us know Lulu was doing just fine in our absence. Susan spent time playing with Lulu and giving her lots of attention, which we greatly appreciate. We are confident Lulu is comfortable and happy in Susan’s care.

Thank you, Nancy, for this review! I appreciate you and I love my visits with Ms. Lulu. I can't wait to see her again! :)
