I'm Melissa | Cat Sitting in Columbus, OH
I love cats and would be the perfect cat sitter for you and your fur babies because I've always had a pet in my home since the age of 5. Yes, my first pet was a dog and I do love them, but a cat fit in my lap much easier! All of my cats throughout my life have either been feral or from a shelter/foster situation. I love to take them from a not the best situation into my loving home, and spoil them a bit! My last cat I had before my current 6, had diabetes and was required to have insulin twice a day, so I am comfortable administering medication via needles, if needed. I currently have 6 cats that once again are from a local foster. The 2 oldest are sisters & have a year younger brother. The 4th is from a local lady who needed to rehome her. And my 5th from the same rescue as the other 3. My 6th is a foster fail, but I just had to keep her and love her so much! I just love how comforting cats are and no matter how you're feeling, they are always there to give you love and I want to be the one there for your cat when you can't be!

This was the second time Melissa watched our three cats. She was amazing! She even got our shy one to come out for pets. I would definitely recommend Melissa to anyone and will be using her for our next vacation.

Melissa did a great job taking care of our three cats. one of them has several serious health issues requiring insulin, pills, food coaxing, and careful attention. Melissa was an excellent caregiver for him!
Morgan
I have used Melissa several times as a petsitter and she takes great care of my cats every time. She is very fast to respond, and sends the best pictures. I would recommend her to anyone that wants peace of mind while away from their kitties :D

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 $30.00. 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.
