I'm Gavin
Cat Sitting in Corning, NY
I have plenty of experience training and raising and training kittens of my own and for other people. But I also have a lot of experience catering to the requirements and requests of their owners to a fault.
Know that just because I treat all cats equally doesn't mean they're all treated the same. Dif... Cats have been a part of my life since I was born. I grew up with them, cared for them. And now one of my favorite parts of my day is coming home to see my two favorite fluffy freeloaders.
I have plenty of experience training and raising and training kittens of my own and for other people. But I also have a lot of experience catering to the requirements and requests of their owners to a fault.
Know that just because I treat all cats equally doesn't mean they're all treated the same. Different cats have different needs, preferences, comfort levels, attention span, social battery, medications and many more distinct accomodations. All of these things are taken into account for every cat I meet, even the ones I'm not taking care of. They are all very unique and intricate, and I love that.
All in all, having me care for your cats is having someone who cares deeply about them and their comfort. It's always a pleasure to meet another cat, I appreciate the opportunity to do so!
Learn More About Gavin
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two at the moment. Sir Charles Chaplin, and Ladybird! They're quite the handful sometimes, but I love em very much and don't know what I'd do without them.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Pick me please. I like to give discounts and coupon codes to loyal customers, in addition I work well on short notice. I also just love being able to consistently visit cats!
Are you usually available during holidays?
Most holidays, yes! Except of Halloween, that one is very special to me. But I don't really celebrate most holidays so most of the time I'm willing to work.
What is your favorite cat toy?
I'm a sucker for the classic shoelace string. But I also really like the ones with the rod n' feathers. My cats always destroy them, but it's how I know they had fun!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Very slowly and never pushing boundaries. It's their decision to interact with me, and they should be able to feel comfortable in their own home whether I'm there or not.

Corning cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.
Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with 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. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet!
