My name is Chelsea and I am a fellow cat parent! I have had cats since I was a small child. For me they are the #1 pet! My two cats are PepperJack and Minerva, whom were rescued as strays off the streets.
I have years of looking after my neighbors’ cats and cats whom belong to my parents’ friends since I was a teenager. I am happy to do visits as a daily drop in or multiple per day if requested. I also have experience with giving cats oral medication (pills). I prefer to visit my kitty client(s) before the job starts so they can become familiar with me and I can be familiar with their routine.
Playtime is also something I love to engage im, again, at kitty’s discretion. I am always open for questions if they come up
Learn More About Chelsea
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Frankly I love spending time with cats in general. From feeding to playtime. Or if the kitty isn’t one for play, just sitting in each other’s presence and petting them is enough for me.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
PepperJack is my male black cat. I don’t know his age since I took him in as a stray but know he is an adult. Minerva Willow is my second kitty. She is a grey stripped cat I took in as a stray also, but she was born from my neighborhood colony. I believe she is a year old at this point in time.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
My process is that I would like to meet face to face to discuss their cat’s routine and establish my responsibilities for providing care. I am fine with communicating through text or phone first if they don’t want to meet me at the home right away. I only desire to do whatever my customers want of me. And of course I am eager to meet my cat client too and get them comfortable with me.

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.
Shelby cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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!
