Cats are my favorite pets. I love all of their different personalities and habits. I have been working full time in pet care for the past two years and have experience meeting all kitty needs (feeding, playtime, pets, medication, litter boxes, etc). I'm excited to care for your kitties!! I prefer to do a meet and greet ahead of time if possible so I can meet your cat(s), see their environment, go over their routine and needs, and make sure you feel comfortable. :)

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. :)

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.

If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.

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!
