Michaela was excellent! I had some troubleshooting while away and she quickly took care of it. She was super responsive and kind. I truly enjoyed her photos and updates which helped the entire process feel seamless

Michela did an amazing job taking care of Pinot! he’s not the easiest when it comes to people besides me and she still made sure to spend some time with him and play as much as he could while still feeding and caring for him. and she didn’t even take it personal when he decided to give her a bop on day one 🙈 will definitely be using for all of my future cat sitting needs!!

Michaela is so patient with our little aby. My cat, Eevee gets very sad when I go out of town, but Michaela makes a special effort to comfort her and ensure she is very much cared for. Michaela is also great with "runner" kitties, like mine, which takes great talent. If you have a kitty who is a bit anxious and too curious, this is a sitter who is considerate and careful. Absolutely book her!

Michaela did a fantastic job taking care of our cat Moses! She updated us with every visit and kept our cat company and entertained while we were away for the weekend.

Michaela was such a great sitter for my two cats! She communicated with me my entire vacation and really gave me peace of mind when I was traveling. I appreciated how she sent me pictures of the cats and got to know each of them and their different personalities. I was gone four days so it was great to have a sitter I could rely on and trust. I'd recommend Michaela to anyone looking for a reliable, friendly sitter!

Michaela was a wonderful sitter for our Betty! It is hard to find someone with experience and comfort in administering insulin but Michaela was unfazed by our diabetic cat and even wanted to schedule our meet and greet during Betty’s mealtime to observe her insulin routine. She was very professional and trustworthy, highly recommended!

Michaela was the perfect kitty sitter. She was very thorough and sent the sweetest pics with my kitty Brooklyn. I’m sure if he could talk he’s have nothing but nice things to say. Will definitely be rebooking when I travel again.

Michaela took excellent care of my cat Sadie for four days. In addition to being super responsible and sending updates and photos after each visit, she spent plenty of time petting and playing with Sadie, which made all the difference (I could tell when I got back!). Highly recommend Michaela!

Thank you Michaela! You were wonderful and we appreciate you for taking car of our cat for 1 week. The videos and photos that you sent after the visits were great. Next time, I think we’ll have you booked for 40 minutes instead of 20 minutes because our cat enjoyed your time so much. Thanks!

Michaela is a wonderful sitter, she is nimble and responsible. We have a diabetic cat, and she pays attention to the details that are necessary to manage it with patient. She learned how to do a blood glucose reading, draw a half unit of insulin, and document the information accordingly.

Michaela was great to work with! She sent us thoughtful updates about our cats while we were away and she was very responsive when communicating. On top of that, she was able to do our cat's insulin injections, which was a great relief for us.

Michaela was amazing! I was so anxious to leave my cat home alone for a few days, but Michaela ensured me that she'd be in good hands. She was really amazing and thorough during the meet and greet - extremely organized, friendly, and had great questions about Norah's (my cat) needs. If I need a sitter again, I will choose Michaela for sure!

Michaela watched our cat for close to 2 weeks and she was amazing. She sent us pictures every time she visited and it was obvious our cat enjoyed spending time with her.

Michaela took care of our very aloof Viggo with such care and humor. We felt very comfortable while we were gone that he was in good hands. I have no reservations whatsoever about asking for her help again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Astoria cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $34.00. 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.
