Learn More About Sydney

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love meeting new people and their cats because I truly believe cats bring out the best in us. It’s a beautiful way to connect to others! I also lost my soul cat, Cai, whom I had for 13 years, in august 2024. So I cherish all the moments I get to share with my cat clients! I’ve always been a “cat person” and now I just get to be a “professional cat person!”

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

Creating a detailed info sheet with any necessary info is super helpful! My favorite clients have left me PDFs or printed sheets with detailed instructions such as feeding times, pet personality traits, emergency contacts, passwords/passcodes, and even trash collection days for when I stay overnight! It’s super helpful in staying organized. Communication is key!

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

When meeting a cat that is shy or anxious, I always start by allowing them enough space, getting down to their level, and offering my hand for them to sniff. I use a soft, gentle voice, and I let them open up in their own time, offering consistent opportunities for them to connect. I continue to make sure they are cared for and feel safe, and give presence to the moments they do decide to open up!

Sydney was great! My wife and I really appreciated the daily updates and lots of photos and videos. We felt better on our trip knowing our kitties were being well taken care of.

Sydney has truly been fantastic to work with! It very much feels like we've known her for years :) And as for our girls, well, they're besties with Sydney for sure! The tell-tale sign that my Lu is in the best care? She no longer hides from us after we return from vacation. Some of the things I enjoy the most about working with Sydney are her exceptional communication skills & her photography skills (I always get the best photos of Lu while we're away!). I never have to worry about our girls or our apartment. She always leaves it better than she found it. Sydney really is a great human, and I'm just so grateful we found her!

Sydney has cat sit for our 3 needy cats multiple times, and I plan on hiring her for many more trips in the future. She is so caring and loving towards our pets and respectful of our home when she is in it. She communicates consistently and clearly, always keeping us in the loop about feedings, play time, cuddle time, and more. She sends photos of the cats throughout and it's obvious from the photos that even our most shy cat has come to love her and trust her. Truly one of the best cat sitters we have ever hired.

Frequently Asked Questions

Caldwell cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $26.00. 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.
