I'm an IT professional traveling across the US, and I'd love to keep your cats company while you're away. With over 40 successful house-sits completed through TrustedHousesitters, I have extensive experience adapting to new homes and providing reliable, affectionate feline care.
Because I work remotely, I spend the majority of my day at the house—meaning your kitties will get plenty of attention, playtime, and a warm lap while I work. As an engineer, I'm naturally detail-oriented, so you can trust that strict feeding schedules, litter maintenance, and any specific household instructions will be followed to the letter. I’m a highly self-sufficient and tidy houseguest, and I look forward to giving you total peace of mind while you travel!

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!
