Learn More About Radames
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I’ve cared for cats my whole life and have been cat sitting for friends and family for over 10 years.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I start by discussing their cat’s needs, routines, and personality. During our first visit, I ensure the cat feels comfortable while keeping communication open with the owner. I follow instructions carefully, provide updates, and adjust my approach based on the cat’s behavior and preferences.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I give them space, move slowly, and let them approach on their terms. I use a calm voice and build trust gradually.

I recently used Radames to sit for our 16-year-old cat during our vacation. She is very shy with pretty much everybody, so I was concerned about how she would react to having a stranger take care of her while we were gone. To my surprise, Radames sent pictures and a video of her spending time with him and even letting him pet her. That made me feel at ease immediately and knew I could enjoy the rest of my vacation. Radames is great before and after his care of our cat by following up with me with questions and information needed for her care and sending me updates while we were gone. I highly recommend him to anybody needing care for their cat and will use him again for any future vacations planned.

I’ve worked with Radames for almost 10 years and he’s been so kind and attentive to my cats! He’s a huge animal lover and my cats definitely gravitate towards him, which is helpful because I have two cats that are very skittish and have a lot of anxiety, and they feel super comfortable around him! I appreciate his communication and absolutely would recommend him to other people looking for in home care with their cats!

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.
Fishkill 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!
