My name is Mishelle, I have dedicated the last 10 years of my life working with and taking care of animals at various hospitals/shelters. Although I love all animals I have always had a special interconnectedness when it comes to our feline friends. I was employed at Manahatten Cat Specialist for almost 5 years as a lead dental technician who advocated for fear free restraint. Unfortunately, we had to close down after covid. I now work at a small animal clinic where I perform veterinarian technician duties daily and assist in surgeries including coordination of Trap-Neuter-Release programs. I am currently enrolled at Laguardia Community College to further my education and recieve my license.

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

I have taken care of friends and families cats and my own for over 10 years. I have been in the animal medical field for over a decade, including handling/interacting with feral and fearful shelter cats.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

The thing I love most about cats is their unpredictability. Each one is unique in their own way. They also can tend to be misunderstood by the wrong people. Cats have always been a sense of tranquility for me in my life.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite cat sitting reservation is coming home to my own cat after a 10 hour shift at the hospital. She is always ready to play and cuddle with me, staring lovingly at me as a wind down for the night. I also really loved working at the shelter where I could help cats in need and help create a safe environment for them while they stayed there. I also thoroughly enjoyed finding them their forever homes!

We left our cats for the longest time span yet in the two years since we adopted them. Mishelle went above and beyond in communicating with us and caring for our girls. Well, I say above and beyond but I have a feeling she is at this level all the time . She texted and sent photos and videos of our Girls playing and having a blast. Knowing Mishelle is a vet tech also added an extra layer of comfort. We highly recommend her and hope to hire her again in the near future. We can’t say enough positive things about the relief she brought to us as we traveled far away from home. She is kind, thoughtful, truly cares for animals and it shows.

I can’t say enough great things about my experience with Mishelle! From the very beginning, she was professional, communicative, and genuinely caring. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared a lot about my cat. The updates and photos gave me real peace of mind. She went above and beyond with little notes and took the time make him feel safe and comfortable that really showed how attentive she was. It was clear she took the time to understand my cat’s personality and needs, which made all the difference. I’m going away and my mom had a medical issue and i needed a last minute sitter and she helped me out and accommodated me so well I’m so grateful for her.

We needed a cat sitter last minute and Mishelle was so accommodating. She helped to set up a meet and greet quickly which was a relief. She followed our instructions and more importantly, Nabi was happy to see Mishelle and get some much needed love and attention. Mishelle clearly loves cats and is also really knowledgeable! We would definitely book Mishelle again.

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.

Rockville Centre cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $31.00. 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!
