Cat Sitting in Lewis Center, OH

I have grown up with cats all of my life, and we currently have 5. I have experience with fostering many litters of kittens, which includes getting them socialized and potty trained. I have also been a victim of foster failure... (I've kept two of the cutest foster kittens). I currently catsit for a family every once in awhile but I just love cats SO incredibly much, that I want to more! I have a kitty I sleep with every night named Ozzy, and he can attest that I spoil and give him all the attention in the world. I would love to watch kitties from all over, giving them the affection and attention that they deserve, which a kennel tends to lack!

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

I have been catsitting for over a year now and have found myself very good at it! I am very patient with new cats as I want them to gain my entire trust.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

If I'm being completely honest, I just love cats. I love learning about a kitties quirks, along with their routine and personality.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 5 kitties. They are all named after some sort of famous person or rock artist. Leo and Katy are both 10 year old siblings and they are extra long haired (it's a whole lot to manage). Ozzy is the middle child, he is a short haired black cat from someone's doorstep. He's 7! The youngest two are foster failures, Fred and Roxy. They are siblings, both medium haired and very social. I love rescuing/finding cats from people rehoming, human societies, or listed for free on neighborhood apps.

Rory was AWESOME! We went on a very long vacation which made us a little nervous to leave the kitties that long. Rory totally eased that anxiety and made sure to check in with us every single day (even when we had no service and couldn’t reply!). I appreciate that she especially took time to work with our very shy boy who ended up coming around. We will be using her again for our next trip!!!

Jazz and I hope Rory will be available the next time I go out of town. When I came home, Jazz was relaxed and contented. I had confidence in Rory’s reliability and her fondness for Jazz. She sent timely updates with very cute pictures. Rory is experienced, gentle and knows how to make friends with quirky cats! I an so pleased to have discovered Meowtel and to have met Rory. My trip was much more enjoyable knowing Rory was taking good care of Jasmine (Jazz). Thanks, Rory!

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.

Lewis Center cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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!
