What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been a cat sitter with Meowtel for 4 years now! I’ve worked with cats as young as 3 months and have also worked with senior cats.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

My favorite part about cat sitting is getting the perfect pic of my kitty clients and getting to send them to their parents while they’re away.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite cat sitting reservation has to be my first cat booking with Meowtel. It all started with a kitty named Kismet and the name says it all ! She started my Meowtel career and ever since then I have met so many other amazing cat families and kitty friends 💕.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 3 beautiful cats ! Ollie (6) Sammy (5) and Penelope (8). Ollie is my first cat ever and Penelope came after I met my husband. We ended up rescuing Sammy a year later and now we’re a happy family of 5 😊.

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

Clear communication is key ! Don’t be afraid and feel like you’re for asking for too much when it comes to special asks for your cat. We know all cats are special and all require specific needs.

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

I usually have a face time or in person meeting first to meet new cat parents and get to know their cat family. I like to learn what their kitty’s routines look like to assure I also keep it as close to what they are used to in their regular day to day.

Somayah is did such an amazing job with our anxious cat! She sent tons of photos and updates which we really appreciated. She is very thorough with her questions and it’s clear she really cares- we will definitely be booking again!

Somayah is absolutely wonderful. Our kitties can be shy but took to her immediately and we felt they were going to be in great hands even before we left for our trip. Somayah updated us on every detail, sent us many photos and was thorough in their care. We are so excited to have found someone to rely on for future trips to take care of our kitties.

Somayah was incredibly communicative throughout the Labor Day weekend we had her visiting our cat. She visited beforehand and took plenty of notes and then also kept us updated on how Leela was doing. It was our first time leaving the cat in the house since moving but we always felt like she was in good hands with Somayah visiting her, tossing her treats, giving her pill pockets, and giving her scritches.

Somayah went over-and-above as she always does. always bringing new toys for Misu to play with and giving her extra cuddles. sometimes even spending a little extra time than her booking would allow. that is how much she cares about the kitties she tends to. she is one of the only people I trust to look after Tiramisu when I go out of town for an extended trip. you couldn’t ask for a better sitter if you tried. truly one of a kind!

Somayah is our most trusted Cat Sitter. We are huge fans. This time around she was able to give our little girl her cancer medication and it really takes a very special person to be able to do so.

Somayah has become our regular sitter and is just fantastic; she is punctual, goes above and beyond to be helpful, and maybe best of all she’s an amazing photographer and provides detailed updates. Because one of our cats is extremely shy and one is overtly social, it’s important to us to have a sitter who is understanding and patient. Our 2 cats LOVE Somayah and our shy guy is so confident and trusting around her. IDK what we would do without Somayah!

I was nervous to leave my cats in the hands of a new person for a long trip. I have one very outgoing but anxious cat, and one very shy cat who takes a lot of warming up to. She charmed both cats with her warmth and exceeded my expectations! Somayah sends amazing photos and goes above and beyond with her updates. Somayah is kind, punctual, and highly reliable. I will be booking again!

Somayah is the best! you couldn’t ask for a more attentive cat-sitter. She always follows instructions to the letter, provides detailed updates, and her cat photos are second-to-none. she is very punctual, accommodating, detail oriented, and quick to reply. I definitely recommend her if you are looking for someone to look after your feline friends.

I am delighted to share my overwhelmingly positive experience with Somayah as a caretaker for my beloved feline companions. From our very first interaction, Somayah demonstrated exceptional professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine care for my cats. As a first-time user of a cat babysitter, I was understandably apprehensive; however, Somayah quickly alleviated any concerns with her warm demeanor and evident expertise. Throughout her time caring for my cats, Somayah consistently proved herself to be the perfect caretaker, going above and beyond in ensuring their well-being and happiness. Her dedication to the role was truly commendable, and I was deeply impressed by the level of trustworthiness she exhibited in every aspect of her work. Thanks to Somayah's outstanding service, I was able to enjoy true peace of mind while I was away, knowing that my cats were in the best possible hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Somayah to anyone seeking a reliable, caring, and skilled pet sitter. Her exceptional qualities and unwavering commitment to her work undoubtedly make her a standout choice for anyone in need of pet care services.

Somayah cares deeply about the well-being of our cat. We’ve noticed a positive difference in our cat’s demeanor after Somayah comes to look after her. We’d recommend her as a sitter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Elizabeth cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $32.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
