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

When working with a new cat parent, my first step is just getting to know their cat, them, and routines. I need to know what “normal” is so I can observe what to do and what not to do to meet their specific needs. Each cat is different and has different expectations for human interactions so I love hearing about what they like and don’t like from the person who knows them best! No detail is too small!! Tell me about the one person in the neighborhood they didn’t get along with, their favorite way to get a treat, their tell for being upset. The more I know at the beginning, the smoother transition I’ll be able to have with caring for your sweet pet.

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

For the cat’s safety, I make sure to quickly use doors with my foot as a blocker (I have an escape artist myself at home). This ensures not too much attention is on the door or exits. Additionally, making sure extra food is stored back away and out of reach to avoid accidental over feeding. Other things help too such as keeping windows shut, putting toys away that need supervision, adjusting pet cameras for best views, and more. For the home’s safety, I do quick scans to make sure everything looks normal. I can leave lights on if requested to make it look like someone is home, bring in mail, and ensure alarm is set when I leave if desired. Let me know what you feel most comfortable with!

Are you usually available during holidays?

I’m usually local during the holidays and can do check ins while you’re out of town! These visits might be a little extra, but so worth it to make sure you can relax and enjoy the holidays with your loved ones across the world. Leave the pet routines, cuddles, and playtime to me!

Stephanie was a great sitter! She sent updates with pictures at every visit. I could tell my kitties were being loved on and well cared for while I was gone. I will definitely use Stephanie again!

Stephanie was awesome while we were away for the holiday. She played with the kitties, gave them treats, and sent pictures each day. It was great peace of mind knowing someone was there to check on our fur babies.

The individual who has sat for our kitties for many years was unavailable so I booked Stephanie and she was great! She promptly arrived for the meet & greet and made sure she had all the information needed. During the reservation the kitties warmed up to her very quickly and she did everything that was requested and more. She provided updates and pictures after every visit. I was a little worried about how the cats would do with someone new but it looks like they made a new friend! I would definitely request Stephanie again in the future.

Stephanie was great, with daily updates and photos. We were happy to have her look after our three cats when our neighbor was unavailable. We would recommend her to anyone.

Stephanie was an amazing caregiver and I will call on her whenever she’s available. She asked important question in order to get to know Milo and Murphy. She also recommended changes to my reservation that provided better care for my cats. She’s great and I can feel really comfortable when I leave knowing my cats are well cared for.

Stephanie was super attentive to my cat's needs and came over longer than we had asked because she realized Crescendo needed more interaction. She provided me updates which was appreciated, and I was never worried that she was inside my home. Crescendo was well taken care of!

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 $24.00. 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.
