Learn More About Daphne

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

I have been cat sitting through Meowtel for about 3 years, first in the San Francisco Bay Area and now Buffalo and Erie County. Before Meowtel I regularly sat for family and friends' pets while they were away.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I'd by lying if I didn't say I love meeting and making new kitty friends! It's definitely the best part of being a cat sitter. Beyond that, however, I love doing this because it means a lot to provide families with peace of mind when they are traveling. As someone who struggled for years to find a consistent cat sitter who could handle my cat's medications and special needs, knowing I can provide that service to my clients so they never go through what I did is really rewarding and fulfilling.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Absolutely! My husband and I usually don't travel for the holidays, and I love being a consistent and available presence for my clients during such stressful times of year.

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

I have a lot of luck singing to timid and anxious cats, particularly old Disney songs. I used to sing to our old Maine Coon to calm him down and have found it works really well on most cats. I also find sitting quietly with / near them but not looking at them helps!

This is the second time Daphne has watched Vito and it was even better this time! Vito loves the lap time and I appreciate the timely updates and great photos and videos.

Daphne is such a delight and an incredible cat sitter. She is no stranger to taking care of older kitties, which was a relief for me given I have two senior cats that require meds. Daphne understood their special needs and went above & beyond to make the cats (and me) feel taken care of while I was away. I’m so grateful to have her as part of our care team!

Daphne is seriously AMAZING!! We left our senior cat Lily that requires medication daily with her and it couldn’t have gone better! Lily is extremely she and Daphne was able to bond with her which is extremely rare! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank you Daphne!!🩷

We had Daphne cat sit for the first time when our other sitter was not available and she was wonderful! Great updates and was able to coax our shy cat into coming out and purring. :)

Daphne has watched my wife and I's fur babies a few times now. She is clearly very much a cat person and loves spending time with our little rascals. At the end of each visit she sends a helpful summary of the visit that allows us to keep track of everything going on. Definitely will be requesting Daphne's services more in the future!

Daphne was awesome. She was able to accommodate a schedule change to extend cat sitting duties when my travel was delayed by weather. She brought my cat a toy which became her favorite toy. And she sent pictures and videos daily so my 10 year old wouldn't miss her cat too much.

Daphne was so great. She met with me and the cats before and put my mind at ease about leaving my elderly cat in her care. My cat requires pills, topical medication, and special dietary attention. Daphne sent me detailed updates at each visit and really went above and beyond to care for my cats.

Frequently Asked Questions

Buffalo 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.
