Looking for an cat sitter who has personal experience with felines, including felines with diabetes? I am your guy! I am a retired man with over 10 years of cat ownership and experience.
As much as we love our felines, we need a vacation too. You can trust me to be reliable, on-time, and friendly. When I go on vacation I always book a cat sitter because cats are very territorial and to remove them from your home will cause untold stress, so let me treat your felines to a caring sitter.
Having a diabetic feline myself, and being a diabetic too, I know how important it is to stay on schedule with insulin injections and proper feeding. They are more than a pet, they are out our loved if not sometimes insane children too and deserve comfort and love while you are away recharging yourself.

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been been in the Reno/Sparks area since 1986 and cat sitting for the last 10 years. Cats have needs beyond just fresh food and water, they want a tidy litter box and they need affection. You may rely on me to provide any basic or advanced needs your felines may require during your absence. I understand that cats are territorial and that they should not be boarded outside a home. I always wear fresh clothing and shoe covers so that your felines are protected and not subjected to any cross contamination . My life has been enriched immensely by owning cats so I understand that while they are independent they also dependent on us provide them with proper care. I am background checked and have held several positions that require the upmost in confidentiality so you can trust me with your felines and your home.

Reno 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 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!
