Thank you for your understanding as I continue to work to the best of my ability to accommodate you and your kitty's needs.* Hello, and thank you for taking the time to visit my profile and consider me as a sitter for your furry friend(s)! 😊 My name's Kim, and I've been a cat person, through and through, for as long as I can recall! Having grown up with lots of cats in my adolescent years, my first job being at a pet store where I was employed for about 4.5 years, adopting and rescuing three cats of my own, I've been fortunate enough to have always had cats in my life. Aside from taking care of my own babies, I've also pet sit a number of times for others before joining Meowtel over a year ago, as well as assisted with many foster cats. I have extensive experience with cats of all ages, including bottle-feeding young kittens and administering medication to cats who were sadly ill, including pills, liquid medication, and insulin injections. While I, ...

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

Aside from cat-sitting for Meowtel since March of 2023, (43 reservations and counting!) I have cat-sit for friends and family, as needed, over the past several years! I have cared for just about all ages, from bottle-fed foster kittens all the way to 17 year old senior cats as well as given oral medication in both liquid and pill form and administered injections many times. Additionally, I've cared for kitties with special needs, such as partial blindness, hearing loss, ongoing medical issues, etc. I've also found that I've been able to help shy kitties feel safe and warm up to me quickly :)

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I LOVE spending time getting to know each cat's unique personality and finding what they enjoy most, whether pets and attention, playtime with their favorite toy(s), being brushed, belly rubs, or giving them space. (LOL) Cats are often hilarious little things, and so they certainly keep me entertained and literally have me laughing out loud! It especially warms my heart to be able to help the shy/scared kitties feel safe and earn their trust

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

Oh my goodness, there's no way I can choose a favorite. Each cat I've cared for has been lovely in their own way and brought me joy for different reasons! If I had to choose a general favorite, it would probably be the "only child" kitties lol. I love being able to provide them company so that they don't feel as lonely.

couldn’t speak any more highly of Kimberly and mine (and my cat’s) experience with her. You can tell she has a genuine love for cats and that she enjoys her time taking care of each one. I got detailed updates with plenty of pictures upon each visit, and I would confidently utilize her services in the future. I would definitely recommend!!

Kim was top notch with everything. She made sure that our playful kitties got enough play time and the updates put us very much at ease. We loved getting funny pictures of our cats. Our cats love her!

This was our first time hiring a cat sitter and Kim made us feel very much at ease by sending us updates and lots of pictures after each visit. She went above and beyond of what we expected and our cats love her.

Kimberly did an amazing job watching my cat when I was away! She responds quickly and sends plenty of updates with pictures. She spent a lot of time playing with my cat and she made sure he was fed, had his litter changed, and took his medication.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

If you are not fully satisfied with your sitter after the Meet & Greet or during the reservation, please call 1-844-636-9835 so we can help you re-book with a new sitter to ensure we can deliver on our purrfect hospitality promise.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $31.00. 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.
