I come from a big family of cat lovers and have 10+ years of pet sitting experience caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and needs!

I've shared my home with and cared for kittens, seniors, social cats, anxious cats, and some of the most ornery cats you'll ever meet. Every cat is equally loveable a deserving of quality care!
I consider the cats in my care my clients just as much as their owners. I know how stressful it can be to have someone new in your home and to have your normal routine changed. I know every cat has their own needs and quirks. My main goal with every reservation is to keep you and your cat's vacation as predictable and relaxing as possible!
Clients have told me that I form a special bond with their cats and that I become one of their 'people'. Their cats know they can trust me and so their owners do too!
During our visits I will closely follow any care instructions, tidy up after me and your kitties, keep an eye out for any changes in behavior, and send regular photo and detailed message updates. Whether your cat wants cuddles, playtime, or just for me to get the job done and get out, I always aim for 100% satisfaction!
I work for myself and my schedule is generally flexible. As well as early morning and evening visits, with enough notice I can stop by midday as well. I do visits all over Monroe County and can accommodate short or long term reservations!
IMPORTANT: While I am comfortable administering injections, I have not had first-hand experience with checking cats blood sugar or administering insulin. Meowtel does not currently have an option to separate these skills. While I am a quick learner, I understand if you'd prefer a sitter with personal insulin experience! 🩷
Learn More About Taylor
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been pet sitting for animals of all types since I was a teenager, and pet sitting for family and friends on and off for about 10 years. Some have involved just quick daily visits, some involved specialized diets with multiple cats, and a few have required pills or topical medicine. I recently renewed my animal cpr certificate and have studied fear-free techniques
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
The cats! Every cat is so different. I love getting to know their unique personalities and getting a peek into their daily lives. What's their favorite afternoon napping spot? What's the best window for bird watching? Do they prefer catnip toys, or dancers?
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have one senior cat, Purrlock Holmes (Pearl, 12) and until this past spring I had my sweet boy Tomie Depawla (9). Tomie was receiving treatment for cancer, a heart condition, and LPR as well as anxiety and Pearl gets an upset stomach if she does not receive her meals at the same time every day, so I understand how vital it is to keep a cat's routine consistent! We also recently welcomed two kittens, Cato and Gideon, so I understand how it can be challenging managing cats' big personalities and meeting everyone's needs!
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes! Early morning (6:30-9:30) or late evening holiday visits work best, but with enough advance notice I can make other times work.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Every cat is different, but what I find most helpful is to be predictable. Arrive at about the same time and finish all tasks in the same order, move and talk softly and calmly. I'll sit on the floor (or even lie down, haha) and let kitty sniff my hand if they seem interested, and I don't try to pet until I get a head bump of approval or two. I let the boss (the cat) lead the interaction and set the pace

Taylor was fantastic with our 16 year old girl, Edie. As a senior cat, Edie has very particular routines with medicine, food, and playtime, not to mention separation anxiety! From the moment we had our meet and greet, we knew Taylor was the right fit. She came on time for every visit, followed all our instructions, and sent us the cutest photos and updates which helped us feel so much relief while we were away. We came home to happy, lovey kitty and we can't thank Taylor enough for her care! We will be booking again for the holidays and know Edie will be in the best hands.

Taylor was amazing! We have 2 special needs cats who require multiple medications and additional care. Taylor was so great about taking care of them, getting them their meds, and giving them plenty of love and attention. She also sent very detailed daily updates with photos. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing that our cat were in such good hands.

Taylor took amazing care of our two cats while we were away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She sent detailed updates after every visit with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our cats and took the time to get to know their different personalities. Our friendly cat, Butters, absolutely loved spending time with her, and she made sure to give him plenty of attention, playtime, brushing, and pets. Our other cat, Moofy, is extremely shy and spent most of the visits hiding, but Taylor was so patient with him. She left treats in his favorite hiding spots and never stopped trying to make him feel comfortable without pushing him. She also went above and beyond by taking care of the litter, trash, recycling, and other little things around the house. We really appreciated how thoughtful, reliable, and communicative she was throughout our trip. We would absolutely book Taylor again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!

My reservation went great. Taylor sent me pictures every day of how they were doing which really helped ease my mind (and guilt). she also took the time to give attention even to my most scaredy cat, which takes persistence. I’d recommend her to anyone.

I am new to Meowtel and I really lucked out when I found Taylor! Her daily postings including cute pictures of my kitties really put me ease while I was out of the country for a few weeks. Natalie and Mitzi really seemed to take to her as she engaged them with catnip, regular brushing and lots of toys and games! Will definitely book Taylor again in the near future. Highly recommend!

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 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 Meet & Greet!

Taylor was great! I can't rave enough about how well taken care of our cat Tito was while we were away. Taylor sent updates and photos that kept us looped in. We returned and were met by a very happy and healthy furry friend. Thank you so much Taylor!

Taylor took care of my boys, Ernie Banks and Henry Aaron, while I was out of town for a week. She checked in each visit and kept me updated. She made sure the boys were well taken care of even though they hid each time she stopped over. This has absolutely nothing to do with Taylor and everything to do with the fact that my boys are big babies! They hide from me sometimes. I highly recommend Taylor and will use her services again in the future.

My cat instantly felt comfortable with her, which says a lot. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty and a tidy home. Highly recommend Taylor to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and attentive pet sitter!
