I'm Canaan | Cat Sitting in Buffalo, NY

I’ve had cats as pets since I was 2 years old. My first cat's name was Victor. He was a quiet cat, loved laying in the sunlight and drinking the milk out of my cereal bowl. He developed diabetes after a steroid shot he needed after he snuck out and got into an altercation with another cat. For a couple of years we gave him insulin shots 2x a day until unfortunately, it became too much for him and we said goodbye after 13 awesome years. After a couple of months, we started looking at cats again. I found a kitten that was about 3 months old online, and my mom and I went to go meet him. While at the foster home, we met the kitten, but another one who was about 2 months old kept climbing up to us to give us hugs. We left with 2 kittens that day, instead of just the 1 we intended. We named them Spencer (named after Spencer Reid from Criminal Minds) and Albus (named after Albus Dumbledore from Harry Potter). In addition to administering insulin to Victor, I have experience with other medications as well. Spencer, as a kitten in the foster home, developed an eye infection from a herpes virus. It flared up occasionally and I’d have to give him eye drops and liquid amoxicillin. At 13 years, Spencer was diagnosed with Lymphoma and requi...

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager. In 2019 I began working for a local cat sitting company, which ended up closing in 2020 due to COVID. I loved it so much and missed visiting kitties, when I found Meowtel I was so excited and applied right away. I have about 15 years of years of pet sitting under my belt.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love caring for animals and I love that my clients feel their cats are safe. When they tell me they were not worried about their babies and could enjoy their vacation or going out for the night it truly makes my heart happy. And I love spending time with the kitties!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I have senior cat, Albus (named after Albus Dumbledor from Harry Potter). He is an American Shorthair. He was born in 2010 and is 14 years old as of this April 2024! I also have a kitten, I adopted her at 9 weeks old in April 2024! Her name is Iris Meadow. She is a black domestic short hair! She’s my baby girl 💕

Canaan followed my detailed instructions for the cleaning,medications,feeding and even playtime.,everything was cleaned spot on. Thank you for taking good care of my furbabies as their trusted companion and caretaker while I was out of town. LS🐾🐱 no worries. Great updates and photos 👍🏻 I will definitely use her again☺️

My second time with Canaan sitting and as always, she does a great job. I love how my kitty takes to her and even cuddles when she’s not much of a cuddler! Her updates are outstanding and she even brought in my mail. Canaan always goes above and beyond!

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

If you are not fully satisfied with your sitter after the Meet & Greet or during the reservation, please call 1-844-636-9835 so we can help you re-book with a new sitter to ensure we can deliver on our purrfect hospitality promise.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. 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.
