Tess's Reviews
Katie
Tess was fantastic! She went above and beyond in every way. My cats seemed very happy and content when I returned. She was even so kind as to bring in and set up an extra litter box that had arrived late and even put away my HelloFresh package! Simply wonderful!
Annie
Tess was one of my favorite babysitters! She provided so much detail and always went the extra mile to make the cats feel comfortable! Will definitely be working with her again!
Brielle
I had a very difficult week navigating finding a cat sitter last minute as I had to stay out of town for a few more days than expected. Tess truly went above and beyond to take care of my cat Boots, and also was able to work with me on coordinating receiving/leaving the keys. Tess took a lot of pictures and was very descriptive in her details of how the sitting went. Definitely recommend Tess as she will go above and beyond.👍
Tomomi
Tess is detailed-oriented and takes great videos. She managed to win over our grouchy old cat in minutes. Highly recommended! We were happy to have her!
Ali
Reservation was easy to make and cost was transparent. Tess was absolutely amazing 😻 I can tell my cat loved her and I felt at ease being away knowing she had someone so caring to hang with her. She took awesome pictures and videos and her updates were thoughtful and detailed. She even got my cat extra treats! I can't recommend Tess enough and will definitely book ger again :)

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
