Learn More About Leigh

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

I’ve had cats in my life since I was born - I’ve been caring for them for about 28 years!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Little Girl! Shes a calico, a rescue cat who was on the streets for about 7 years! I also have Meow Meow who lives with my parents close by!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Ask questions, meet the sitter first, see how they interact with your cats as well as with yourself. Not everyone is a good fit for every cat household - that’s what meet and greets are for! Pay attention to the detail of the sitter when meeting them - do they ask questions? Eye contact? Body language? This is the person you are going to be trusting the care of your furry family members to!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! I’m usually available.

What is your favorite cat toy?

The Big Fish! I have a huge catnip fish that gets batted around and just looks silly! But honestly, it’s hard to choose just one - I’m pretty sure that a lot of the toys I’ve gotten for the cats are more for my own entertainment than theirs!

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

Let them be - soft voices and slow movements are the key to working towards a pet. I just let them know I’m there if they need me and I’ll do no harm.

Leigh took good care of the two kittens as always. They probably had a play fight, and one of them ended up with a small wound. Leigh noticed it with great attention, has been keeping an eye on it for me, and reminded us to take the kitten to the vet for a check-up in time.

Many thanks to Leigh—really appreciate it! There was a bit of an issue with the food dispenser at home, and I reached out to Leigh at the last minute—she came right away and made sure the kittens got their meal.

I have had other cat sitters in the past so I know when my cat has been happy or stressed while I'm away. When I got home,. I immediately knew he had been very well taken care of! I have only great things to say about Leigh and I'm sure my cat Ginger would agree!

My door has a pretty complicated design and is super hard to open, but Leigh was patient and got it all sorted out. She also took great care of the kittens and sent me adorable videos! They were so happy to see her, tails up high ! Huge thanks to Leigh!

Leigh did a wonderful job with our 2 very different cats. Each day, she sent pictures (including finding our very shy cat), gave us updates, and was very responsive. Would use her again. Highly recommended.

Leigh absolutely loves cats. She has always taken excellent care of my cat, Socks whenever I needed. She is very trustworthy and respectful of a persons home and goes above and beyond. She always spent extra time playing with my cat to engage her and would sent picture updates. Highly recommend!

Leigh is an amazing person and caregiver. I cannot recommend her enough as a cat caregiver. Her lifelong dedication to cats, especially rescues, is truly inspiring. Having cared for cats since she was a toddler, Leigh possesses an extraordinary level of experience, compassion, and understanding of feline behavior. She has a natural ability to connect with even the most timid cats, providing them with the patience, love, and care they need to thrive. Her knowledge of feline health, nutrition, and well-being is unmatched, and she always goes above and beyond to ensure every cat in her care feels safe and loved. Whether you’re looking for someone to care for your cherished pet or help a rescue cat find its footing, Leigh is a true gem in the world of cat caregivers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Port Chester cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $29.00. 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.
