Learn More About Teresa

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have one baby girl named Yumi. She is so sweet and gentle and my entire world. She makes me want a second cat.

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

I ensure that there is nothing that can harm them such as string, twist ties, hair ties, etc. Check for fire hazards like a hair dryer or a stove. Ensure windows and doors are locked. If there are multiple cats, ensure that there are no wounds/scratches.

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

For cats that are timid and anxious I try my best to make sure I’m creating a safe space. I attempt to allow them to approach me and smell me. Also, I try to engage in play to build some familiarity.

Teresa is absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of my cats while I was away. She sent daily updates, photos, and kept me at ease that they were being well cared for. Teresa came over to meet my cats on fairly short notice and had amazing availability. I can’t recommend her enough.

Teresa went above and beyond in caring for my cat Ron. Ron felt so comfortable with her, he made biscuits on her! I would definitely recommend her as a cat-sitter.

Teresa was truly a lifesaver! I had a last minute holiday trip and was scrambling to find care for my cat, Mia. Teresa made the whole experience stress free and kept me updated daily with the cutest photos of my cat Mia! She did a fantastic job, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. 10/10!

Frequently Asked Questions

Columbus cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free 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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
