I have adored and owned cats since age 5 when my big brother brought home a kitten for me. I enjoy the varied personalities of cats and enjoy figuring out how to best relate to them. I currently have three cats and delight in providing them plenty of pets and excellent care.

When I care for other people’s kitties, I always spend at least an hour playing, petting, and talking to them. Kitties get lonesome when their owners are gone, and I try to bring some joy to their days.

I am a friendly, responsible, and trustworthy cat sitter and will treat your cats as if they were my own.

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

I have been cat sitting for my neighbors and my family for over 20 years. I enjoy being around cats and providing peace of mind to their owners.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love cats, always have, and love spending time with them. The extra income is appreciated as well! Again, I treat cats as if they were my own.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite cat sitting gig is for my neighbor Mary who has two cats—Zero and Twinkie. After I take care of feeding, watering, and scooping their litter boxes, I sit on the floor and play with them while watching the evening news.

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.

Pickerington cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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!
