I am a caring, responsible, and dependable pet lover who understands how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pets while you are away. I am a pet parent to two small dogs, so I understand the responsibility, patience, attention, and affection pets need. While I am new to cat sitting, I am eager to learn and committed to following each cat parent’s instructions carefully. During visits, I will provide fresh food and water, keep the litter area clean, offer play and companionship when welcomed, and send updates. I will treat your cat and home with respect.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Look for someone who is responsible, trustworthy, patient, and willing to follow your instructions carefully. Every cat has a different personality and routine, so good communication is very important. I believe a sitter should respect your cat’s space, keep you updated during each visit, and care for your home as respectfully as they care for your pet.

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

I like to learn as much as possible about the cat before the first visit, including feeding routines, litter box care, personality, favorite activities, hiding places, and any special instructions. I also make sure I have emergency contact information. During each visit, I follow the cat parent’s instructions carefully and provide updates so they can feel comfortable while they are away.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I carefully follow all instructions provided by the cat parent. I make sure doors and windows are secure, keep the cat safely indoors, and pay attention when entering or leaving the home. I keep food, water, and litter areas clean and check that the cat appears comfortable and safe. I also respect the client’s home and communicate promptly if I notice anything unusual.

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 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 Meet & Greet!
