Learn More About Rebecca

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

Although this is a first time cat sitting job for me , I’ve had experience with cats my whole life , I have 6 cats at home and they’re spoiled and loved immensely! I’d be happy to help visit and check in on your kitty! I’m very in tune with cats and I understand a lot about them.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I absolutely adore cats and love being in their presence! They’re such beautiful creatures! Taking care of cats is something I’ve always loved to do.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 6 cats ! Their names are Clarice, Wolfie , Siam, Gato, Tonks and BarryAllen! That’s 5 boys and one girl!

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

Always check and make sure that they have passed a background check and also it’s very important for people to understand cats on another level . They’re not like dogs and they require a different, more subtle approach. It’s their world of course lol

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

“When working with a new cat parent, I start by learning all about your kitty’s unique personality, routine, and needs. Before the first sit, I offer a free meet-and-greet so we can get to know each other and make sure it’s a good match. I’ll ask about feeding, litter habits, favorite toys, quirks, medical needs, and anything else that helps your cat feel safe and loved. During the sit, I provide regular updates with photos and notes, so you always know how your kitty is doing. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your cat!

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

Always double check and make sure everything is done to the customer’s expectations and ensure the safety of the cat is top priority!

What is your favorite cat toy?

Laser toy, spring toys and cat nip ! Also bouncy balls and furry mice ! I also like the tall cat trees because cats seem to love climbing them .

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

If a cat is timid or anxious I don’t try to overstep their boundaries. Just like us humans , they deserve patience and understanding.

I couldn’t be happier with the care Rebecca provided for my cats. She arrived on time, sent me thoughtful photo updates, and took the time to play with them and make sure they felt comfortable and loved. The litter box was always cleaned thoroughly. Knowing my cats are in good hands when I’m away is a relief. Highly recommended, and will definitely rebook with Rebecca

Meowtel-verified reservation with twice per day visits
Response from Rebecca on Jul 6, 2025 "CJ, incorrect medication dosing was sent to me in messages, so I needed to clear up the resulting confusion. You believed both midday and evening visits were booked, but only midday was reserved. I gladly accepted the extra evening visit."

Frequently Asked Questions

Garfield 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.
