Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

One time I was hired for three months to be a kitty caretaker at a monastery! I lived there full time and loved the monks cats.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I always ask for a care guide, which is basically a check list of your cats day to day needs, as well as what it would enjoy. I send daily check ins with photos and a detailed description to make sure care is meeting your expectations!

Are you usually available during holidays?

I’m available every holiday and would love to hang out with your furry friend! I love spending Christmas with a cute cat.

Best cat sitter in Rochester. When I hire Lavinia I can relax because I know my cats and home will be respected and treated with the utmost care. She's great at communicating, being on time, and my cats LOVE her. I have a medically fragile cat that takes medication and it's no problem for Lavinia to handle. 10/10 would and DO recommend her to my friends in need of a sitter.

People spend a lot of time looking for just the right sitter for their babies, and as soon as they meet Lavinia, they stop looking, because she is perfect. Very clean, kind, professional and sweet, she always gets the job done, and gets it done with her whole heart!

Frequently Asked Questions

Rochester cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $22.00. 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.
