I'm Alyssa
Cat Sitting in Albuquerque, NM
I’m comfortable caring for ... Cats are truly what make me happiest in life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have a deep respect for each cat’s individuality and believe the best care starts by letting cats set the pace. I’m especially patient with shy, grumpy, or sensitive cats and take pride in earning trust gently and respectfully.
I’m comfortable caring for cats of all ages and personalities, including kittens, seniors, playful, lazy, sassy, or more cautious cats. I focus on maintaining routines, reading body language, and creating a calm, safe environment while their humans are away. Whether a cat wants playtime, affection, or peaceful companionship, I’m happy to meet them exactly where they are.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I start by learning as much as possible about the cat’s routine, personality, and preferences. I ask thoughtful questions and review care instructions carefully so I can keep everything familiar and stress-free. During visits, I follow routines closely, respect the cat’s boundaries, and provide updates so cat parents feel informed and at ease. My goal is always to create a smooth, calm experience for both the cat and their human.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I prioritize safety by following all care instructions closely and staying attentive during every visit. I always check doors, windows, and gates, make sure food and water areas are clean and secure, and keep an eye out for anything unusual in the home or with the cat’s behavior. I respect the home as if it were my own and communicate promptly if I notice anything that may need attention.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes, I am generally available during holidays and understand that this is a common time when cat parents need reliable care. I enjoy helping cats stay comfortable in their own homes during busy travel seasons and do my best to plan my schedule to accommodate holiday requests whenever possible.

Had a really good experience with her. She was easy to communicate with and kept me in the loop, which I appreciated. I reached out pretty last minute and she was still able to help, which was a huge relief. Would definitely have her watch mr.Whiskers again.

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.
Albuquerque cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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!
