Learn More About Hector

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

I currently am a father to three cats, One from a litter, two from adoption. Our girl kitty is named bonnie, while our boys are named Peep and Poop. I’ve cared for these three over the last five years alongside my partner.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Learning what different kitties need and how to help them the best that I can is what I enjoy most. Helping kitties become comfortable, eating all their food, making sure they’re hydrated & safe.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I took care of a kitty who was only about 6 months old named Gizmo for a week while his owner was away and very shortly after he had been adopted. At first, he was very skidding and I was afraid we may just not be compatible. But around the third day, after paying attention to his habits I noticed that the very top of his head was his favorite place to scratch. After i began lighting scratching the tip of his head, he became so much more affectionate & he began to come out of his shell rapidly.

Hector is a total cat whisperer. My tabby is super anti-social but LOVES him. He’s always gone above and beyond when caring for my cat and is overall a great guy.

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 $30.00. 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.
