Learn More About Cheryl

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have one cat that I adopted as an extremely feral, adult stray. This type of interaction is generally a slow, challenging, and time-consuming process that requires an abundance of patience, often taking months to years. It requires shifting a typically deeply ingrained fear of humans, usually resulting in a bond with one specific person. In this case, me. Her name is Vinnie, and she makes my world go round.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Most people don’t understand how they are perceived by animals. They forget that the cat is meeting them for the first time, and approach too presumptuously. They reach in right away with their hands. Their tone is excited and elevated. They don’t give the cat time to inspect them, size them up, or observe them calmly interacting with their owners first. To the pet this is a complete stranger and someone who has not yet been established (at least in their eyes) as a safe person.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

Ideally things work out best in a small, quiet room where they have a couple of hiding spots to retreat to. I like to remove my shoes and get down on their level with my back turned their way so I’m not perceived as big, scary human. It’s important to speak in a calm tone and refrain from trying to grab them or make any sudden movements. Sometimes I will put soft instrumental music on lightly in the background. In much the same way that humans respond to music, it can have a similar calming effect on animals. It’s important to minimize noise and start out from a distance, giving them an opportunity to initiate interaction. High-value treats are sometimes a great motivational tool. I also have a scratching comb with a long handle until they warm up to human touch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Euclid cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $33.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
