Learn More About Carolyn
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been cat sitting on and off for neighbors and friends all of my life & have been professionally sitting for 3 years.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love getting to know each cat’s personality. They are all so different! I also enjoy communicating & connecting with cat parents, since we are some of the coolest people on Earth. 😀
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
It starts with entering, opening the door very narrowly, then putting my foot in first and rest of my body sideways into the door quickly. Of course, at each visit, accounting for all cats & pets. Generally noticing their condition & informing the pet parent immediately of any changes in appearance or behavior. Of course, keeping a close on their litter box and food bowls, to make sure they are eliminating and eating as they normally do. Of course, noting the temperature of the home & making sure it’s not too hot or too cold. Always making sure there is fresh water & they are fed according to parent’s instructions. Regarding exiting, I am just as conscientious about this as I am entering, including ensuring that kitty is nowhere near the door, then locking the door & checking that it is locked from the outside.

Carolyn did a great job of taking care of our two cats while away for a week, especially with their different diets, small medical issues and temperaments. One cat is very friendly and social, the other shy and timid. Although the shy one remained hidden during visits, Carolyn gave me updates and pictures of our friendly one, and kept my worries at bay knowing they were in good and capable hands. Followed every instructions to a T and even was able to accommodate feeding our fish while gone. She will take great care of your fur babies!

Carolyn was great with my shy kitties! She lured them out with treats and got them to play with their favorite toys. Of course she also took care of their food, water, and litter and sent me pics so I knew they were doing okay in my absence.

Carolyn is a caring and wonderful cat sitter! She is a great communicator with daily photos, and she takes seriously the cats needs for attention and love while we are away! We have one very shy cat who had always his with other sitters and one that demands daily play and attention… after two visits, our shy girl was getting pets and we could see her in Carolyn’s daily pictures and our demanding guy was relaxed when we got home… we were amazed! Carolyn is a great sitter and you will be glad you booked with her!

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.
Saratoga Springs cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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!
