Learn More About Rachel
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have 5 kitties!! 4 girls, Elsa, Heidi, Momo, & Adira. 1 boy, Von. Von & Momo are brother & sister. I only actively planned to adopt the first 2, Elsa & Heidi, but oops I've somehow ended up with 3 more. 🤷♀️😂
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I prefer to do a meet & greet before the scheduled visits. That way we can connect, go over everything, & I can meet your cat(s). I always feel more comfortable & confident that way & in my experience, the pet parents feel the same. After that, I make sure to check in often, send lots of updates & pictures during visits, & ask any necessary questions. :)
Are you usually available during holidays?
I am usually available on holidays!! The only exceptions are the evening of Christmas Eve and the full day Christmas day. :)

Columbus cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.
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. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet!
