What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
When it comes to looking for a cat sitter I think a pet parent should look for someone that is comfortable being around a cat of any age and needs. Someone who is also a available to make biscuits with their cat!
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
When I have a new pet parent message me about cat sitting I like to set up a meet and greet prior. I like to make sure I have a clear understanding of where things are and go over feeding instructions and any medications their kitty might need. Also go over any gate codes, emergency numbers, etc to minimize any issues while the pet owner is on vacation.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Any cat that could be timid or anxious should be given space. You should never invite yourself into any space that you’re not being welcome. Working with cats in a high stress environment you learn that cats like to do things on their terms and nothing should be forced.

Maria was exceptional! She took fantastic care of our cat, even asking if our fish needed anything while we were away. She went above and beyond by keeping the pet area remarkably neat and tidy, and she was always quick and responsive via text. We loved receiving her regular updates, which included photos of our cat happily playing, along with proof of clean litter and feeding areas. If you're looking for a caring, trustworthy cat sitter who also brings valuable experience as a veterinary technician, I cannot recommend Maria highly enough!

Maria was amazing! She took great care of my two cats. One of them is normally super shy and skittish around strangers but with Maria, he was perfectly fine and comfortable with. Maria sent photos and updates when she dropped by—letting us know when she was arriving, how the cats were doing, what she did, and when she was heading out. I will reach out to her again for future needs and highly recommend her to anyone looking for care for their cats!

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.
Henderson cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
