Tara has gone above and beyond every time she's cat-sat for me! I travel for work occasionally and I always know my cats are in great hands when I book Tara. Plus they always look like they are having so much fin from the pictures and videos she sends! Thanks Tara!

Tara was an incredible cat sitter! She did such an amazing job taking care of my cat. She sent photo and video updates that showed the care she provided. As well as adorable and hilarious ones. She also included a lot of details in her text updates that helped ease my mind as I was traveling. I highly recommend her services. Will definitely book her again!

Tara was absolutely the BEST! I had initially tried hybrid sitting of my cat between Tara and family and friends but I ended up switching entirely to Tara because of how reliable and communicative she was, not to mention how much my cat seemed to love her! I will be sure to go back to Tara whenever I need a sitter and cannot recommend her enough! Thanks again Tara!!!

Tara went above and beyond for our two cats while we were away. They both warmed up to her very quickly. She sent very thorough updates after each visit. One of our cats has a tendency to throw up sometimes, and when they did, Tara cleaned it up and updated us. We loved all of the videos she sent of our little ones greeting her at the door, eating, and playing. Tara was so thoughtful to ask about their favorite toys, and was great about making sure they got lots of pets, cuddles, and playtime. We feel very lucky to have found Tara

Tara did a great job taking care of Jiji, I will definitely request her again. She had so many positive reviews, and this is one more. She sent lots of photos and I could see how well taken care of and happy my cat was with Tara. She also cleaned the litter, very considerate. Would recommend!

Tara was great! She gave detailed updates and sent photos and videos after every visit. Our cat Chandler greeted her at the door and was sitting on her lap a week in. She gave him pets and plays and all went well. We will definitely be using her in the future!

Honestly my cats love Tara more than they love me!! I've used a few different folks from Meowtel and I will always look for Tara first!!! She takes so much time and care and sends the best updates, and I can tell my cats really love her. I mean it when I say Rochelle runs out from under the bed to meet NO ONE but Tara - I can't thank her enough!

We are so grateful we found Tara. Normally my shy cat hides under the bed when new people come over, but Tara got her to come out and receive some love (and take some cute pictures). She took such great care of both of our cats and was very communicative. We’ll definitely hire her again!

I’ve booked Tara several times and I couldn’t ask for a better experience! She gives my needy rescue cat lots of attention and affection. I love that she sends detailed updates with lots of photos. It gives me a lot of peace of mind to know my cat is in good hands while I am away.

Tara was INCREDIBLE! I have pretty shy cats and I was suprised and delighted to see that they both came out for lots of love and not just food! She was so kind and accommodating, and really helped me feel at ease from across the country!! Her texts were thorough, tons of pictures, and I really felt as though she loved my pets!!! 10/10 would hire again and recommend to everyone who needs a pet sitter!! I can't thank her enough, the girls appreciate it too!! <3

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 $33.00. 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.
