Victoria
Emily was kind & patient with my very active & playful little man. During our meet & greet, she asked me where I kept a cat carrier in case there was an emergency & she needed to transport him to the vet. That really stood out to me & made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care for a few days. I also got very detailed updates every day of how he was doing. 10/10 recommend!

Emily was an excellent care taker for our cats. She was responsible, responsive, communicative, and super nice. She was able to give my elderly cat the meds she needed, which was awesome. She followed all our needs to a T and more. I'm so pleased with the service!!

Emily did a great job looking after my 3 special needs cats. They are a little messy, and I couldn't believe how tidy the cat area looked when we got home. She sent really cute photos each day so we could see what everyone was up to. Thank you Emily!

Emily was amazing!! She took excellent care of both of our cats. We have an older cat and a new kitten. Emily went above and beyond, she fed them, cleaned both litter boxes and cleaned up after our rambunctious kitten, who made a mess. She was even able to get our finicky girl to eat. Emily spent time cuddling and playing with both. She sent us photos and updates. We couldn't have been happier, Emily cared for our fur babies as they were her own. Will definitely choose Emily again. Thank you so much!!

I ended up having to switch my plans around which affected my reservation and Emily was incredibly kind and understanding. She made me feel at ease with leaving my cat Hopson to go away for a few days, even though my trip wasn’t necessarily going as initially planned. I genuinely appreciate Emily’s kindness, professionalism, and generosity. She kept me updated with each visit including photos and videos. I will 100% be booking with Emily again in the future if she is available and I absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a cat sitter in the area. She’s the best!

Emily did a great job taking care of and keeping me updated on my 3 cats while I was away. I would definitely recommend anyone else in the area hire her to be their sitter!

Frequently Asked Questions
Schenectady cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $32.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.
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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
