Learn More About Lea

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been pet sitting for 15 years with the last eight years being a professional, full-time cat sitter. I have experience with all temperaments, from Kitties who like to play, kitties who like to cuddle and kitties who just want to sit next to you while they figure out if they like you.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

When I lost my 21 year old Maine coon, I told him to send me two kitties through the cat distribution system when he thought I was ready. Well the joke is on me and he sent me four kitties. I have a mom and three of her sons. Freya is the mama and her sons are Thor, Loki, and Odin.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I always offer free meet and greets prior to the first initial booking. This gives cat parents a level of comfort having met me and putting a face to the person caring for their pets. The first cat sitting, I make sure I communicate very well about how the kitty is doing and send lots of pictures. This I think gives a new cat client peace of mind.

Lea is a wonderful cat sitter who takes excellent care of our 3 babies! When we first met her, we got an excellent first impression. She is very dependable, warm and friendly. Our cats just love her! One of our cats is diabetic and Lea was able to administer insulin and various pills throughout the years. We have used Lea for 8 years and highly recommend her.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dayton cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $24.00. 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.
