I'm Gretchen | Cat Sitting in Columbus, OH
My name is Gretchen and although I've only been a cat parent myself for about 7 years, I've always loved cats. As a kid when my parents didn't want to adopt a cat, I befriended a neighbor's outdoor cat, who began to come by and hang out with me on the porch every single day. All of my friends are cat-lovers, and I've become the go-to sitter among my friend group. I'm responsible and have so much fun hanging out with animals. I love sending cute photos and videos to the pet parents to make them smile while they're away, and assure them that their pets are in the best hands. Full time, I work AV for live events ...
Gretchen's Reviews
Warwick
Once again Gretchen saved the days for us so we could explore Italy. she is in a word outstanding! way above the normal. Couldn't have pulled this off without her. Thanks ever so much.
Debbie
Gretchen did a great job taking care of our 2 kitties! She sent us an update and photos each time she came. She also took care of watering our little terrace garden. We will definitely book her again for our next trip.
Audrey
I had peace of mind knowing Gretchen was watching my girls!
Aaron
Gretchen did a great job taking care of our two cats and ensuring that the oldest one got the pill she takes every day!
Janelle
Gretchen did an amazing job with our two cats, especially helping out with a last-minute food change & medical needs. She made sure both cats got their correct food and also gave extra to our neighborhood strays. Highly recommend!!

Frequently Asked Questions
The average price for a cat sitter is $27.00.
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.
