I’ve spent my whole life loving and caring for cats. I have spent countless hours volunteering at organizations that save, shelter, and find homes for cats. I have helped provide enrichment for cats to help make them more comfortable with humans. I have experience caring for and administering medications to cats, the sweet cat I had for 18 years being one of them.

I provide a calm and patient presence for cats and have been praised for bringing shy cats out of their shells. I will take the time to understand a cat’s preferences and adjust to their needs. I will provide them with ample play time and plenty of affection when they are ready to relax. :)

Learn More About Irene

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

I have cat sat for friends and family for years. They were always surprised and happy to see that their cats came out of hiding when I would visit. :) I would send videos of their kitties enjoying playtime.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Interacting with cats and gaining their trust , pets, and purrs. I love meeting new cats and learning their unique personalities.

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

I find out where all the essentials are for the cat. I ask the parent what the cat’s play style, eating habits, and petting preferences are.

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.

Englewood 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 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. 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 free Meet & Greet!
