Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I most recently had a black male cat named Mocha who sadly passed away unexpectedly on December 7, 2024.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toy is.. I have found stick toys and ping pong balls to be a huge favorite among the cats and kittens.

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

I move very slowly and sit and talk to them and encourage them to approach. If that doesn't work, I may offer cat treats or some baby food, chicken/turkey on a spoon. I also sit on the ground and extend my hand to them so they can smell me and build trust. I may use toys to get their attention and encourage them to play and engage with me.

Frequently Asked Questions

Penfield cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $21.00. 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.
