Learn More About Bethany

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love learning each cat’s unique personality, likes and dislikes. After a few days together, they feel like extended family.

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

Just like your cats, each sitter’s personality is different. Find the sitter that best matches you and your cats. Some are high energy and great for rambunctious playful cats, others (like myself) are more calm and quiet and better with the more skittish, timid cats.

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

I always am very cautious when I first enter, to ensure no curious or anxious cats try to slip out the door as I enter. I lock the door when I enter. And I always watch that all doors are closed (or open), so no kitties get into unsafe places. I also watch for any toys or objects that a bored, playful cat might get hurt on while home alone. (Like string toys that they could get entangled in. I will wrap these up and tuck away, only pulling out to play with during my visit). I always confirm the door is safely locked again when leaving.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Most often I am. I dont mind popping over for a cat sit during a holiday.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I make sure I move calmly but also confidently through the house. No sudden movements or noises. (Including my phone, and the door when I enter). I will often sit on the floor in a clearly visible space, with my hands out, so the cat(s) can assess me and approach as they are comfortable. I also utilize the slow blink to slow I am safe. Very often, with this approach, I have been able to win over some very timid cats.

Bethany was great this was our second time having her sit for our kitties. They responded well to her and she sent great photos. she even noticed one of our kitties walking was off before we got home so we could get him scheduled with the vet. I love knowing that they are with someone I trust when we are out of town.

Bethany was phenomenal! Our Meet & Greet was so natural and welcoming. The kitties took to her very well as if they’ve known her forever. Bethany kept me updated very well with current photos and videos. She even went above and beyond to help fix my automatic litter robot when it was acting up. As my very first cat sitter, Bethany put my mind at ease with her professionalism, friendliness, and experience with cats. I will most definitely be working with Bethany again in the future!

Bethany is absolutely amazing! After meeting her, I immediately felt at ease. She was very thorough and asked thoughtful questions during our meet and greet. While on vacation, Bethany sent me updates for every visit and went above and beyond to put my shy kitties at ease. Plus, I loved the photos and video Bethany sent me. I knew they were in good, loving hands. I highly recommend her for taking care of your fur baby!

We have 4 cats, and they are all very shy. Bethany did a great job coaxing them out of their shells and we are so grateful we got to work with her.

My very shy cat loved Bethany right away. When she came to get the key he went right up to her and he followed her around while I showed her where everything is. I've never seen him take to a stranger like that. It made it easier to go out of town because I knew he would have company. She sent me pics, videos, and updates from their visits. I will definitely hire her anytime I need to leave town

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.
