Learn More About Trish

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

I first started cat sitting for a friend in 2016. For a long time it was mostly a side hustle but as I'm studying full time, cat sitting fits my schedule and of course, sparks joy!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I get a sense of satisfaction from taking care of creatures and cats can be very sweet in the ways they "thank you."

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I spent a few weeks with my downstairs neighbors cats and i would just go study and sit with their cats. We would play and eat and it was just a mello experience.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

I think since there are so many sitters available it can feel overwhelming to choose. Meowtel is my first choice because the sitters are vetted well.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I would definitely schedule a meet and greet. I would also prepare questions for the meeting. I will usually take notes to make sure I remember any essential details.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

First I open the door slowly. I look around to make sure I can find the cat(s). After confirming they are present and healthy i would check around the food and water and refill the food and change the water.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes I'm from the area so most of my celebrations are local and I'm available to work around any family/friend commitments.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I really love the dangling ribbons on wands. Fishes on strings are pretty great. Also the infamous empty cardboard box

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

First I would confirm they are safe and secure. Some shy cats like to hide which is fine. I would offer my hand for them to sniff. If I can make eye contact but they don't want to come near, I don't force it. I would still play with the toys and talk softly.

Trish is calm, patient, and deeply in tune with cats’ needs, making her an excellent choice for even the most timid or particular cats. Her reliability, gentle approach, and thoughtful updates give owners total peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sunnyside cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $31.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
