Working, volunteering and fostering in the Animal Welfare world for 30+ years has given me a great deal of experience. I have 8 cats of my own, 5 seniors, 1 with special needs and 2 lunkheads. I do critical care fostering for bottle babies/neonates, medical fostering for various conditions and socialization fostering for all ages. I have administered medications of all kinds, including oral, transdermal, injectable, eye and ear. I've given sub-q fluids to cats and kittens, and have taught others how to do it. I'm a cat behavior counselor and pet retention specialist and also licensed as an animal control officer. Besides all of this, I absolutely love cats and will take amazing care of your fur kids!

Learn More About Meredith

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 8 cats. 5 seniors: Kismet "the Queen" at 16, Seven and Husband at 12 and Sycamore and Sina at 11. I have one cat with Cerebellar Hypoplasia, Roddie, who's 6, and two bonded, lunkheaded brothers, Jerrie and Rumple who are also 6.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I'm generally available throughout the holidays. The medical needs of my own cats prohibit me from being away from them for very long.

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

I very often foster shy/scared cats, and spend time with them at work. Meeting a cat where they are and letting them make their own choices is critical. Armed with high value snacks for lures and rewards, often just sitting quietly nearby helps to build trust and let them know you're not a threat.

Meredith is a responsible, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring cat sitter. From the start, she was thorough with her prep questions and took time to get to know Moon, my apartment, and our routines. She brought toys and treats specially chosen for Moon (which Moon loved even more than her own), and even kept a personalized notebook with updates after each visit. When an emergency came up, Meredith communicated clearly and handled it calmly and professionally. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat and felt completely confident that Moon had been in excellent hands. I would gladly book Meredith again and highly recommend her.

Meredith is amazing! Extremely thorough and thoughtful. She spent ample time getting to know us, our home and our 1 year old kitten Parnissus. This was our first time leaving him for a weekend and it went as good as it possibly could have gone.

Meredith is the best cat sitter one could hope for ! It was the first time all four family members were going away at the same time and I was really worried. From our very first meet and greet, Meredith showed so much care, competence, and affection. Knowing my baby was in good hands made my vacation even better. I will certainly call on Meredith again! Thank you Meredith! The Meowtel app also gets five stars.

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.

Montville cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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 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. 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 free Meet & Greet!
