Learn More About Monroe
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
In addition to the obvious benefit of spending the day with adorable cats, I really love getting to form relationships with families. It makes me very proud to be trusted by parents with something as precious as their furbaby, and I love being able to help people be able to travel or live their lives and know that their animals are safe and sound at home
Are you usually available during holidays?
I am! Generally speaking, I’m available for all holidays. The only exceptions would be if I were to travel with my own family, which is a very rare occurrence
What is your favorite cat toy?
My favorite cat toys are either any type of toy attached to a string or a specific type of toy fish that can swim around in water. With the fish toy, it’s so nice to see indoor kitties get a chance to hunt in water (usually a cake pan or 3-4 inches of water in a sink or bathtub), and some get carried away just splashing around or watching a slow drip of water from a faucet. Toys on a string are fun just because of all the leaps kitties will do to catch their prey! And of course the adorable wiggle as they lock their focus before pouncing

This was our 3rd time with Monroe watching our cat, and they again went above and beyond! With each visit a great picture of our normally very shy cat was sent and they communicate excellently regarding details on our cats behavior and key exchange. Very thankful for their help and highly recommend!

Monroe was a wonderful first experience for us as a cat sitter during our wedding and honeymoon! Our cat is on the shy side and they took the time for him to warm up to them. They sent daily pictures and even after a miscommunication responded quickly and corrected the mistake! They also brought packages inside unprompted, which was very much appreciated. We are very thankful and hope to use Monroe as a cat sitter again in the future!

Monroe is the best cat sitter!!! Honestly, we have a grumpy 18 year old cat who is quite a character and requires a little extra love and care. Not only did Monroe manage to charm him, but they went above and beyond with making our grumpy cat feel loved and comfortable in our absence. They made us relax and enjoy our vacation, while also giving our cat one as well!

Mo was not only a great caretaker of my two cats, but she is an excellent communicator, as well. I would recommend her to anyone who is even a little anxious about having someone take care of their cats. Mo is trustworthy and respectful. Highly recommended!

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.
Dayton cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $23.00. 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!

Mo is the only reason I am able to go on any trips. They take care of my senior cat rusty with as much love as I do! They were very timely with their responses, always giving me daily updates, and being respectful of my home.
