This was my first time using a cat sitter- did so because one of my cats is on twice daily meds currently. Was obviously a bit nervous leaving my sick cat but Katharine was great with both of my cats and gave great updates every day! I would definitely use her again for my cat sitting needs!

This was our first time using this service and Katherine was amazing! She provided detailed updates and photos of our kitties. She went above and beyond to make sure they were taken care of and comfortable with her. I look forward to using her again in the future!

Katharine is officially my go to cat sitter. She’s been watching my cats for a couple of months and they have definitely developed a great bond with her! They don’t even out anymore when I pull my suitcase out because I think they get to see her 😊 She is incredibly thorough, takes amazing pictures, and definitely goes above and beyond every time. My two cats and I are very lucky to have found her!!

I’ve asked Katharine to watch my kitties several times, and I can’t say enough good things about her! She has really gotten to know both of their unique personalities and has catered her visits to make sure they’re each feeling special. Plus, she takes incredible pictures! Your fur babies will be in good hands with Katharine 😊

Katharine was just wonderful! One of my kitties can take a while to warm up to people, but Ouska was seeking Katharine out during the initial meet and greet so I knew we were in good hands!! I loved reading her updates about how she played with both of them and their overall demeanor. It made me feel so much more comfortable. I would 100% recommend Katharine!

As always, Katherine was a phenomenal pet-sitter for my cat. She is thoughtful, thorough, and gives detailed messages about her visits. I really can't recommend her enough!

Katharine is an amazing cat sitter! My cat has been recovering from some health issues, and she kept a close eye on him while I was away and was very attentive to some unexpected needs that developed a couple days. it was such a relief to have her looking after him! I love the photos that she sends!

Katharine was amazing!!!! I’d recommend her for any household. she swept up litter while we were gone, cleaned up a vase that the kitties got curious about, kept litter and food/water bowls clean daily and got our shy kitty out of his shell!! she is wonderful and I would love to have her back any time!

Wonderful care from Katharine as always! lots of cute action photos, great updates with details, and generally a lot of caring that comes through in each update and is reflected in how calm our cat is when we return.

Another fantastic set of visits from Katherine! Our cat adores her, and she's so conscientious and caring in her reports of the visits. I can tell from the photos she sends that Nikita trusts her and has fun with her.

Katharine was a fantastic friend for our cat. He loved her immediately, and he was so calm upon our return, no signs of stress. We got awesome, detailed updates from Katharine every morning, with lots of pictures and great narratives of the visits. I knew my cat was being really well cared for.

Katharine has looked after my furbabies several times now, and I can totally recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, loving sitter. She goes above and beyond when needed: My most recent trip included a flight cancellation that meant I would be a day later than expected. Katharine covered the extra day graciously! I felt that my cats were well looked after and probably didn't miss me all hat much. She was even able to BRUSH them - which is something they don't let me do! I will definitely reach out to her in the future!

Frequently Asked Questions

Columbus cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. 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.
