Learn More About Emma
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Genuinely, it’s spending time with all the cats I meet. I have so much love for cats, I usually spend extra time during my bookings just cuddling, sitting with, or petting them.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have a 5 year old female brown tabby named Sammy, as well as a 9 year old calico named Dixie!
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes, I’m off work on most major holidays. I likely won’t be available on Christmas, New Year’s, or Thanksgiving, but any other holiday is usually free.

Emma did a great job following my instructions and my kitties enjoyed hanging out with her! She even helped bring in an important package that I had arriving while I was away. I'd definitely book again and recommend Emma as a sitter to others.

Frequently Asked Questions

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!
