Learn More About Kate
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
Recently used this app and made a special bond with her, she suggested that with my flexibility and adoration I would make the perfect sitter. Am new to the app but far from a stranger of spending a majority of my day with furry felines! As a mom of 6 (yes, 6…) kitties I make every effort to make their home and lives the best I can
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Individuality! Every kitty soul has a unique spirit that requires a lot, or sometimes a little, attention and love. Every new cat is a new special friend
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
Since I am new to the app I don’t have a reservation to reflect on, but am the first and usually only person asked to care for family and friends’ cats. They know I will take the time and make every effort to be the comfort they need when their human is away.

Kate was amazing! She brought tears and toys for our Kitties and they absolutely adore her! She sent picture and updates of our babies every day that we were away, which gave us peace of mind. We will definitely use her for future visits!

Katie (as I always called her) was prompt or called or texted if she would be late or to reschedule. Her strength lies with her absolute love for cats of all temperaments handling them with knowledge, understanding and humor!

Kate is an animal lover, and holds a special fondness for cats. Her many years of experience as a cat owner make her the perfect cat sitter because she understands and respects each cat's unique personality and needs. She loves and adores her own feline family and I would trust her with the care of my pets as well.

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.
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.
Rochester cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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!
