❤️a clean space

I find great fulfillment caring for cats and making their days better! I’m looking forward to meeting your fur-babies! 🐾

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

I have been cat sitting for a year now. Initially, I cat sat for my friends and I recently joined Meowtel. I’m having so much fun! I think it’s funny to tell people I am going to strangers’ houses and teaching random cats tricks. Most of the cats here warm up to me quick & they reward me with cuddles and love. I love it here.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Muffin- Miss Independent Purrl- Miss Zoomies Taro- Miss Cattitude Leo- Mr. Lovebug Ollie- Mr.Spicy Kiki- Miss Chatterbox I have experience with multiple personalities at home and at the shelter!

What is your favorite cat toy?

Wand toys are the best for me. My cats love treat puzzles. Recently I got a pet piano that dispenses treats— and it’s the best purchase ever, seeing a little Mozart in the making!

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

I am patient and understanding. I give them time to approach me. I try to be soft and small for them to show I’m not a threat. Playtime and treats are always a great icebreaker!

I can’t thank Dalina enough for the amazing care she provided for Lito and Lily over the weekend. She truly understood their personalities within just a few days and kept me updated with adorable photos and videos. It was such a comfort to know they were in such capable hands. Highly recommend her!

I had the most positive experience with Dalina! She was excellent with communication every single day, sending photos, videos, and updates about my cats. She really took the time to understand and appreciate each of my cats and even taught them some tricks! I absolutely recommend her services—I know I’ll definitely be using her again the next time I go out of town and need someone to watch my cats!

Dalina did an amazing job taking care of our 2 cats! She was very communicative with multiple updates per day. She takes the cutest pictures too! One of our cats is usually very shy and reserved around strangers but she warmed up to Dalina immediately, and I'm so grateful for that. We can't recommend her enough!

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.

If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.

Merchantville cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a 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. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a Meet & Greet!
