Cat Sitting in Albuquerque, NM

I love animals and that comes from having a lot of animals myself. I have a bunny, 4 dogs and 2 cats. However, between you and me, cats are my favorite. They just have their own personality and their own cute ways of loving us. I have had my cat, Whiskers, for 11 years and my other cat, Tigger, close to a year. Life is boring without a cat.

I love animals and that comes from having a lot of animals myself. I have a bunny, 4 dogs and 2 cats. However, between you and me, cats are my favorite. They just have their own personality and their own cute ways of loving us. I have had my cat, Whiskers, for 11 years and my other cat, Tigger, close to a year. Life is boring without a cat.
I am well equipped with the patience and caring heart to take care of your fur baby. Additionally, I have worked at Petsmart for 5 years and with that I was able to gain experience as well as plenty of knowledge about pets and their needs. By talking to pet parents, I’ve come to the realization that we all just want the best for our pets and to give them all of our love. With me, your fur baby will be very well attended and loved as if you were there.

This was our second time hiring Stephanie, and we are SO glad we found her! This was the longest we've ever left our kitties (almost two weeks), but it was a load off our minds knowing Stephanie was caring for them. She sent us daily updates and photos/videos, which we loved receiving. She also helped keep the house running smoothly by bringing in the mail, bringing in the trash, keeping things neat and clean, etc. Even the litter boxes still smelled fresh by the time we got back! Most importantly, we knew we could trust Stephanie with our precious kitties! We could tell they truly enjoyed seeing her when she came over, and they were healthy and happy when we came home! We will definitely keep hiring her for all our kitty-sitting needs!

We were THRILLED with Stephanie's service! This was our first time hiring her and meeting her, and she's just so sweet and personable! She really took the time to get to know all four of our kitties and their quirks, and she gave us a full and detailed report on how they were doing every time she checked in on them. I really enjoyed receiving her messages and photos she sent us! Stephanie took great care of our kitties and our home (she even watered our plants!) and we felt completely at ease knowing she was caring for our fur babies. She's extremely punctual, communicative, and trustworthy! And definitely a natural when it comes to caring for cats! I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a great new sitter, and we will definitely hire Stephanie again! Our kitties are looking forward to seeing her again too!

Stephanie is a fantastic cat person. I was nervous about leaving my anxious cat, a stray who came to my door, for the first time. She doesn’t trust easily and she’s on several medications. Stephanie had a consistent, gentle approach that won her over. She is very kind and patient and paid attention to all details with wonderful photos and updates. I would recommend her to anyone with cats they love, and she was great with the medications. Stephanie is a caring and kind person.

Oh, wow! Stephanie met and exceeded my expectations!! This is coming from a paranoid and anxious cat mom. My little girls (ages 5 and 6) were relaxed and happy when I returned home. Stephanie was so patient and accommodating with my 14-year-old neurotic and skittish girl, that she handled my being gone really well!!! I highly recommend Stephanie and will be calling her for future sits.

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 $22.00. 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!
