Purr-Ty Time Cat Care Unavailable

I'm Megan

Cat Sitting in Reno, NV

I am a stay at home Mom in South Reno and previous healthcare professional. My professional career was centered around providing care, medical empowerment, and advocacy to others while working at a local non-profit medical provider and insurance company. While I have transitioned away from the traditional 9-5 my focus remains the same; caring for others. In addition to a toddler I have two fur babies, a cat named Cocoa and a dog, Penny. Cocoa is a big fluff-ball and such a lover. Her purr is like like a Harley Davidson! I have been around meow-ny types of cats: shy kitties, cats that act more like dogs, cats that prefer to perch and ones that pre-furr to sit on a lap and I have loved them all the same. I cannot wait to become part of your fur family and look forward to working with you... I am a stay at home Mom in South Reno and previous healthcare professional.

I cannot wait to become part of your fur family and look forward to working with you. When I'm not hanging out with my family or caring for your furry friends, I enjoy going out to eat, grabbing a drink with friends or family, and rooting for my favorite sports teams!

I am located in Damonte Ranch but have grown up here so I am very comfortable traveling to most areas in Reno/Sparks. In addition to the regular kitty care (food, water, litter box, medication administration (oral medication, topical ointments, eye/ear drops), and of course cuddles and play time!), I am happy to get the mail, take out and bring in the garbage bins, shovel snow when needed, water plants, etc. but please be mindful that any additional tasks can be completed within the time-frame requested in the reservation, so long as the majority of the time is spent with your fur family. Safety and securr-ity are my top priority and I will ensure you arrive home just as you left it, or better. As the old saying goes, "when the cat's away, the mice will play." Except this time, it's purr-ty time for your feline friends.

Learn More About Megan

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

Formally on Meowtel since (Aug 2023), but I have been cat sitting since I was a kid. I have cared for senior kitties requiring oral medications and extra attention, as well as small kittens and cats that were recovering from a communicable infection requiring safety precautions to mitigate the spread or cross contamination. I take health and safety very seriously.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love seeing all of the different breeds of cats! And being able to get some quality time with kitties since we had to say goodbye to our own.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I can truthfully say that I have enjoyed all of my reservations. I love meeting new people and new kitties but I especially love when I have repeat clients because I get to build a stronger bond with the kitties over the course of every reservation.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have had cats in the home my whole life, up until recently when we had to say goodbye to our 15 year old, Cocoa. With a toddler in the house, we have decided to wait to get another fur baby. In total, I have lived with 9 cats throughout my life, so far 😸

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Communication is key. If your cats like things a particular way, there is no such thing as over explaining. Having written down instructions is a plus. Also leave cleaning supplies so your sitter can easily clean up any messes without having to hunt down the supplies themselves.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, we do not travel often, but if I know we have plans I block out the dates as far out in advance as possible. If I have dates listed as open, you should feel confident that I do not have any scheduling conflicts.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Who doesn't love a good old fashioned laser pointer!

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I let them come to me. I never try to force a cat from it's hiding spot or disturb them in any way. If I can easily find where they are hiding, I do my best to try to grab a photo just so their parents know that they are ok.

Megan was so great - 5+++ stars! Our 2 cats take 4 different meds in total - Megan handled the asthma inhaler, the topical ear creams and the pill administration expertly, without any issues. The kids were in very good hands and we highly recommend Megan - will definitely use her in the future!

Her continuous efforts with our shy cat paid off and she wound up getting some love and affection shared with her. Her updates and pictures were timely and appreciated. She was meticulous and left the kitties, and the home, happy and well cared for.

When we had to suddenly leave town with one day’s notice, we were so stressed about finding a reliable last-minute sitter we could trust our fur babies with. Megan was ameowzing and responded quickly to my messages. She was able to drop by that day for me to explain the care plans for our kitties! While we were gone, we got wonderful updates and photos to put our minds at ease. One of my kitties takes daily medicine and decided to be a little shy and hide, but Megan was able to charm him out of hiding 😹 she also went above and beyond in caring for our home. I felt so safe entrusting my kitties with Megan because she really cared and befriended them 🐾 She is a fur-tastic sitter! When we got home, our cats were very happy. We were very pleased with how professional and thoughtful Megan is! We will definitely be using her in the future! Thanks Meowtel for connecting us with only the best for our 4-legged babies! 😻😺

Megan is the absolute best! My scardy cat interacted with her, she sent great photos, and even swept so I could come home to a clean house. I have been out of town for about 2 weeks. I was so nervous to leave them that long, but having Megan come over gives me some peace of mind. The Davis fire started after we left, and my home is in the evacuation warning zone. I am stressed and cannot leave where I am for a couple more days. She is watching the evacuation orders and helped me make a plan if we need to get the kitties out which includes her getting them out. I seriously do not know what I'd do without her!

Megan was great, she came to meet us and figure out how we do our routine for our kitty (she was even taking notes). On the days she came while we were out of town she took lots of pictures and sent lots of updates in our messages. She made sure it stayed clean in our house, and was very respectful!

Megan was an absolute angel from start to finish! I've had negative experiences with a sitter in the past that left me hesitant to leave my fur-babies with anyone. In the meet and greet Megan provided reassurance, asked all the right questions (including details I'd forgotten to provide), and left me feeling confident my cats would be well cared for while I was out of the country. I received daily updates, including how much they'd eaten, moods, and of course, the most reassuring of all, pics of my babies playing, cuddling, and their full/clean litter boxes and food and water dishes. I can honestly say I returned to my house in better shape than I left it, all due to Megan going above and beyond. Megan, thank you for making my vacation possible! You have no idea how much I appreciate you! ♡ ☆☆☆☆☆

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.

Reno 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!
