I'm Robin | Cat Sitting in Akron, OH

Hello, fellow cat-lover! I’ve been cat sitting for years and have been a cat parent/sibling my whole life. My soulmate-cat, Clyde, who passed when he was 21 and I was 24, kickstarted my love of cats from a young age. I’ve always had a special connection with cats, something that has been remarked upon by many people. I lived in Florida in 2020 and developed a close relationship with the stray cat colony in my apartment complex. Neighbors would remark to me on how they’d never seen these cats interact with anyone aside from me. Though I wasn’t able to TNR them during my time there, I’ve since coordinated with fellow cat-lovers in the community to TNR the colony. Currently living with me are my two boys, Chicory and Chestnut. Chicory came home to Ohio from Florida with my significant other and myself at the end of 2020. He’s the most empathetic cat I’ve ever known, but still a big ol’ stinker when he wants to be! Chestnut found us a week (to the minute!) after my 21-year-old void, Blue, passed away in August 2023. After some major medical scares, Chestnut is now a loving little weirdo. In 2020, I lost my 17-year-old, Silver, to cancer and my parents 14-year-old, Digit, to diabetes. During Silv’s illness, I administered medication in a variety of formats, as well as providing post-op care after his surgery (while successful, the cancer unfortunately spread a few months later). I’d also taken care of Digit for my parents at many points during her illness, including following detailed food and medication instructions. Additionally, Digit was a timid - though loving - cat, so I often would have to coax her out of her hiding spots to administer insulin shots. For the last year or so of her life, Blue received subcutaneous fluids three times p...

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

I've been cat sitting on Meowtel since 2022 and had sat previously for family and friends

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love everything about cat sitting. Genuinely. Forming relationships is the most valuable thing to me in general, but especially in regards to cat sitting. There's no feeling as great as making that connection with a shy or nervous cat. I believe that it's important to meet everyone where they're at; a scared cat is no different. Just sitting quietly and establishing a pattern of "Hey friend, I'm not scary" is all it (usually) takes for me to help a cat to feel more secure in a scary time.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Oh man, different cat toys are great for different cats! I always keep shiny pipe cleaners in my car, though, as I've never seen a cat not want to play with one! (Don't worry; I never bring in any toys or food without getting the owner’s go-ahead beforehand!)

Robin did a great job with my three cats. She handled my finicky medicine taker, my shy girl and my food hog all while giving me lots of updates and pictures. She does a great job and I will be using her again.

Robin does an amazing job. She takes excellent care of all of my cats and other small pets when I am gone. I never worry. She sends great pictures and goes out of her way to make sure the cats and others are happy!

Robin watched my two cats while my husband and I went out of town from Friday through Monday for both drop in visits and overnight stays. It was the first time I used her as a sitter. After our two and a half hour meet and greet, it was cleared that Robin loved cats and was totally capable of taking care of mine. She did not disappoint me! She was very responsive throughout the entire reservation. She was very loving and attentive to both my cats needs. I appreciated and enjoyed all the videos she sent me during the time she spent with my cats. I enjoyed my trip more knowing they were in good hands. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!

Robin is amazing!! Our cat is quite a handful and he definitely gave her a struggle about taking his meds. She kept trying different methods until she found one that worked with him. I really appreciate her diligence. I highly recommend her!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Akron 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.
