Learn More About Calder

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

Always go with your gut! If your potential sitter comes for a visit and something feels off, it’s totally acceptable to change your mind and let them know.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I would ensure I understand the personality of the cats, like are they runners or hiders or anything like that. I would of course take actions to ensure that everyone is safe and secure as if it were my own home and pets.

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

I would do my best to move predictably, talk in a soothing tone, try not to look too directly at the cat.

Calder has been incredible at adapting to my needy cats and handling them over the years. Calder has handled everything from emergency vet visits to just quiet snuggles over a weekend. I would trust Calder to take care of cats, because of his experience and because he does love them so much!

Calder is a compassionate person who cares for all cats as if they’re his own. He is respectful, empathic, and kind. I trust him with my cat completely because I have seen his care and attention for his own cats. A true friend to all felines!

Frequently Asked Questions

Fort Lee cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $27.00. 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.
