Learn More About Sarah

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

I’ve been a cat sitter since 2018, primarily as a part-time role while working full-time from home in my corporate job. Over the years, I’ve gained plenty of hands-on experience caring for other people’s cats as well as my own two. I’m comfortable with a wide range of cat personalities, from shy and anxious to outgoing and playful. I’m experienced in following routines, administering medications, providing companionship, and giving updates so pet parents feel confident their cats are happy and safe while they’re away.

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

When working with a new pet parent, I like to start with a meet and greet to get to know you and your cat. This helps me understand their routine, personality, and preferences, everything from feeding habits and favorite toys to hiding spots and comfort cues. I’ll ask lots of questions to make sure I know exactly what makes them feel happy and secure. It’s also a great time for a vibe check so your cat can see I’m a friendly, calm presence. My goal is to make both you and your cat feel completely comfortable before the first visit.

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

For timid or anxious cats, I move slowly, speak softly, and give them plenty of space. I let them approach me when they’re ready, avoid direct eye contact at first, and use calm, reassuring energy. I also stick to their usual routine and favorite spots to help them feel safe and in control. Patience and gentle consistency always help build their confidence over time.

Sarah is a dream cat sitter! We have a very difficult cat who swipes/hisses at cat sitters giving her food, but Sarah knew how to give our cat space and lots of treats to get her through our time away. Sarah was great at communicating with us through the app and is clearly knowledgeable about cats.

Sarah was delightful. It was immediately clear she knows and love cats. She asked excellent questions, listened carefully, and sent photos and updates of she and Edgar playing. Sarah made my first experience away from Edgar (and his from me) feel safe and comfortable! Lastly, she is trustworthy and thoughtful. I forgot to tell her where to leave my apt. keys - she went above and beyond to notify me, hold on to them for me and hand deliver them to me 3 days later at my convenience.

I was thrilled that Sarah got my very shy cat to come out of hiding and get some much needed attention, which doesn’t usually happen with sitters. She has the magic touch and you can rest assured that your little friend will be in great hands with her!

Sarah was great with my three cats - they all seemed happy and unfazed when we came back home after a 2-week vacation. She was also kind enough to help us bring in mail, packages, and check in on our plants!

Frequently Asked Questions

Woodside 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 $29.00. 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.
