I believe that every pet should be lucky and have an extended family full of love and support. I would love to step in and be the “aunt” for your kitties while you are out of town.

I have many years of cat experience with the last 8 years as a full time professional cat sitter. I pride myself on being able to bond with kitties of all temperaments and levels of trust.

I have experience giving all medicines from inhalers for asthmatic kitties, insulin for diabetic kitties and subcutaneous and IV fluids for kitties in kidney failure.

I look forward to meeting with you to discuss your needs and how I can help with your upcoming trip.

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 was fantastic with both of my cats. She was caring and took extra time to make sure she had all the care details for my older diabetic boy (who is also on other medications). Lea also managed to convince my little cat that hides to come out and socialize. I was pleasantly surprised to see pictures of her out and about. The pictures of them hanging out, receiving affection and treats, and playing were wonderful. Lea did an amazing job and I would recommend her!

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!
