My experience with Skarlent was EXCELLENT. She pays close attention to detail and was very communicative while I was away. I have shy cats that I rescued off the streets. They don’t warm up easily. From the first time Skarlent came to my home, both my shy girls came out from hiding. This was very unusual. From the pictures she sent while I was away, they both were out when she came over. The cats know when they are dealing with a good person. I’m relieved to have found a great cat sitter.

One of our kitties is afraid of everyone- but to my surprise, he greeted Skarlent. Seal of approval! She was great in communication and took some cute pics of our cats. Also appreciate the pick of the clean cat box 🫢 I no longer have anxiety about finding someone to take care of the cats or bringing them somewhere to be kenneled. Highly recommend her.

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.
If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.
Elmsford cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $33.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!

Skarlent did an excellent job! She went above and beyond the call of duty, even during a rain storm. Communication was highly professional and gracious. She did exactly what I asked and sent daily photo updates. She’s awesome with difficult cats as well. I can tell they trusted her immediately.
