I'm Dawn | Cat Sitting in Albany, NY
Meow ! My name is Dawn and I LOVE cats! I have 5 cats of my own at home. Purnestine (Tuxedo), Tito (Black Bombay), Roberta (Tortie) – shes in my profile pic with me; and our 2 newest additions (foster failures) Lady Carmella and her kitten Odesza (both Torties). If anyone ever tells you Tortitude isn't real... they are lying ;) They are all rescue cats and I absolutely love them all and spoil them rotten, just like they should be. They each have different diets. Tito has to have special UR food, Roberta and Purnestine eat the same food; Lady Carmella and Odesza are still currently on a kitten food diet. Purnestine is a picky Tuxie, and the others are food scoundrels, so I have a lot of experience in feeding separate diets, as well as feeding separately and supervising. I am a volunteer with Whiskers in Albany and work in the free-roaming shelter feeding, cleaning up afte...

Dawn's Reviews
Katelyn
Dawn did a fantastic job taking care of our Tilly. She was detail oriented, and really went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly while we were away! She had cats of her own and treats yours just like they were hers. We will definitely be using her again!
Ren
she communicated with me well and cleaned up a mess my cat made. got great photos of my cat being a goober as she usually is.
Kathleen
Everything went smoothly for our two felines. Dawn's trustworthy and reliable, which is exactly what our cats need, especially our super-senior. We are lucky to have found her! We're also impressed with Meowtel's platform, how easy it is to get updates and manage reservations.
Kathleen
We feel lucky to have met someone like Dawn when searching for someone to deal with both our ancient curmudgeon and our middle-aged fraidy cat. She was attentive to their disparate characters and food needs, but still took time to help with a couple household tasks. She's thoughtful, kind, and detail-oriented, and can you really ask for more in someone to care for your feline masters?
Suzanne
Dawn was great! Professional and sent humorous updates about our "invisible "kitty. Even though our shy girl never showed herself, Dawn reported food and treats eaten as well as litterbox use. Oh, yeah, she watered my plants too.

Frequently Asked Questions
Albany cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.
Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
