Learn More About Catalina

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes, I have a 3 year old tuxedo cat named Benito. Tuexedos run in the family, my mother and brother in law also have their own.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes I’m usually available during the holidays with advance notice, and I’m happy to accommodate travel a schedules whenever possible.

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

What I have found most effective is to speak to them in a soft voice, give them plenty of space at first, and use treats and play to build trust over time.

This was my first experience using a cat sitter and I couldn’t be more pleased! Catalina was extremely communicative and became quick friends with my unfriendly cat. She came over for a meet and greet, took notes of his routine, and provided very detailed updates after each visit (including multiple photos). I highly recommend Catalina and will absolutely reach out to her again next time I need a sitter.

Catalina did an awesome job taking care of our Bert. They arrived when they said they would and sent plenty of pictures. They include very professional outlines of what they did on the visit, which was great piece of mind. We’re done relying of friends. We will get Catalina when we can.

Catalina was an excellent sitter for our two cats. She came to meet them and wrote down all the instructions carefully. We hadn't used the service before and we were glad that she asked more questions and wrote down all diligently. She made us feel super comfortable. She came to the house as she promised and sent us photos every day. We had to travel abroad and did not have much time to make arrangements so it was amazing to find someone that was so responsible, considerate, and affordable. I will definitely use her services again and recommend her very highly. Thanks so much!

Catalina was an amazing catsitter! She's a great communicator. Her daily updates and photos reassured me that Hector was always happy and in good hands. I really loved that her updates were organized as a checklist so I could see all of Hector's needs were met. I highly recommend her!

Our cat Lucky was so very blessed and fortunate to have Catalina. When we were away on a cruise for 12 days Catalina was here every day for our cat, she really helped us. We are forever thankful and grateful.

Amazing communication and is so nice!!! She always keeps us updated and sends regular pics. She really cares about animals and wants to provide the best care possible. She doesn't care if the animal may be shy or difficult, she puts in the time to earn their trust. Great with giving meds too. She is extremely trustworthy and I know my cats are in amazing hands with her! Highly recommend!!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Astoria cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $31.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
