Learn More About Vivian

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy meeting new cats and getting to know their unique personalities. I especially love when a shy cat decides to open up and trust you. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all pet sitting — every cat has their own personality, quirks, and favorite comforts. I like to take the time to observe and learn what makes your kitty feel safe and joyful.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have one and her name is Belle! She is a vocal Siamese lynx point who loves to cuddle and play. Fun fact: I named after the female philosopher, not the princess 😉

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

Not leaving the front door wide open in case of any escape artists! Being attentive and paying close attention to their needs, noting body language, any unusual vomit or litter box behavior so I can notify the client.

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

I try to get them more familiar with my voice and scent first, crouching down and extending my arm and finger out to let them smell me, or waiting for them approach first. I also tend to leave an item (like my sling bag) out on the ground for them to smell during my first few visits, so there is no surprises and no pressure until they’re ready. My own cat hates loud noises so I tend to also speak to cats in a soft and friendly tone. Most importantly, I would do my best to not disrupt their environment or routine and respect their space.

My cats love Vivian and so I do too. She gets them playing and keeps their food and litter tidy. And she sends me fantastic photos and funny reports so I get to see exactly what they’re up to. Having her visit allows me tremendous peace of mind. She’s a delight!

We all loved having Vivian visit! To my surprise my 3 cats warmed up to her quickly. She had a sense of each one's character and played with them, fed them, gave meds, and kept the litter super tidy! She was especially attuned to their complicated dynamics. Her communication was clear and thoughtful and I loved the photos! It made me so happy to see them playing and to hear what they were up to in my absence. I have already submitted a request for my next trip - Vivian is completely worth it!

I recently had the joy of having Vivan care for my sweet cat, CeeCee, and I’m so grateful I found someone as thoughtful and reliable as her. For two days, Vivan stepped in as the perfect “cat sister”—feeding CeeCee, playing with her, and keeping her litter box fresh and clean. What really stood out was Vivan’s attention to detail and her communication. She kept me updated the entire time with messages and photos, which made being away from CeeCee so much easier. It was clear she wasn’t just checking off tasks—she was genuinely connecting with my girl and making sure she felt safe, comfortable, and loved. Vivan is not only responsible and thorough, but also incredibly warm and personable. It felt more like leaving CeeCee with family than with a sitter. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her back again—and I think CeeCee would agree! 😊

I can't say enough good things about our experience with Vivian! I was nervous about leaving my cats and Vivian made that all go away. She took extra special care of my slow-eating Jem and kept his sister from eating his food..She kept me up to date every visit. Jem and Jean Louise are lucky to have found such a loving caretaker and so are we!!

Vivian provided excellent care for Julio and Mimo during her daily visits. She followed my written instructions to the letter, and I was happy to get daily messages and photos of my boys while I was away. I’ll call on Vivian again for peace of mind when I’m traveling.

Vivian did an incredible job with my little one; Diligent with day to day tasks, responsive with questions/answers & photo updates , and most importantly, caring that garnered my cat’s attention and trust (shelter cat with separation anxiety). Thank you Vivian, for an amazing job!!

My cats love Vivian! she fed, watered, medicated, and litter-cleaned my 6 kitties while I recovered from surgery. She got knots out of my older cat's fur, gave lots of attention to my needy ones, and helped with extra stuff without being asked. She was always on time and sent the best pics every day. I will definitely reserve Vivian again for my fur babies!

Vivian was a fantastic cat sitter! She sent consistent updates complete with photos and actively tried to engage with my shy cat who actually came out of hiding to be pet. I felt very comfortable leaving my cat in her care due to her consistency and attentiveness and will be looking to book her again in the future. :)

Vivian was a wonderful sitter for our cats! I was anxious to leave them for a whole weekend but Vivian was very communicative and responsive, and sent lots of photos, which definitely helped ease my worries. I felt much better knowing she was there to check in on them and I would gladly book again with her in the future. Thanks again, Vivian!

Vivian did a wonderful job pet-sitting my two cats. They can both be shy, but she warmed them up and made them more at home with us gone.

Vivian did an excellent job taking care of Tiramisu while I was away! I would definitely highly recommend her for your cat-sitting needs. She gave detailed updates, was very open to suggestions, and was always very attentive and quick to respond. She also takes great pictures and follows instructions to the letter. You couldn’t ask for somebody better to take care of your furry friends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Harrison 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 $29.00. 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.
