I'm Teresa

Cat Sitting in West Chester, OH

Hello! My name is Teresa. I have owned cats (or rather they've owned me) most of my life (50+ years). Even when I haven't owned one, cats have adopted me. My best friend calls me the Cat Whisperer.

I currently adopted a 16 yr old cat, Marvin, that I pet sat. His owner had to move into a nursing home. Our very spoiled old lady, Smokie, passed 2 weeks later. She traveled with us on trips to Florida & also liked to camp with us. We adopted her after our cat of 18 years passed away.

I am currently just pet sitting, so my schedule is pretty open. I prefer late morning visits & into the evening. I'm not a happy person when I need to get up with an alarm clock, lol. I have insomnia, so I am a late night person. I have been pet sitting for several years now & love it!!!

I used to live in Colorado during the 80s & 90s. While living there, I raised my daughter & 2 step-sons. I worked for the Postal Service as a clerk & Office-In-Charge, filling in for Postmasters. In 2001, we moved to Homestead, FL. I then worked as a Title Processor & Closer, until a bad car accident in 2004...

I used to live in Colorado during the 80s & 90s. While living there, I raised my daughter & 2 step-sons. I worked for the Postal Service as a clerk & Office-In-Charge, filling in for Postmasters. In 2001, we moved to Homestead, FL. I then worked as a Title Processor & Closer, until a bad car accident in 2004. We moved up to Ohio in 2010 after my father passed away & my mother had a brain stem stroke, so we could help her out. We lived in the house I grew up in, for 15 years.

We recently moved to a one story home in West Chester. I too had a brain stem stroke & had to stop doing steps. I'm located off I-75, so it's easy for me to get to jobs on the north, & central parts of Greater Cincinnati. I travel both corridors of 1-71 & I-75, all the way to downtown & up to Monroe. You might want to message me to make sure I service your area. This site only lets us say we service 15 miles, but if you are the only job I have, I'm willing to travel further.

I absolutely love cats & communicate well with them. Cats love me as well.
I often have neighborhood cats come up to me, even feral cats. My best friend also pet sits. When she has an issue with a cat, she asks me to come help her break the ice with the cat, or help her administrate any medication, including injections, so I have experience with that as well. My daughter always has me clip her cats nails when I'm at her house. She says they always behave better when I cut them.

I was almost 3 when we got our first cat, Tiki (I couldn't say Kitty, & my parents thought that was purr-fect for a Siamese!). She had her litter of kittens on my bed when I was 4.

If my husband (& cat) would let me, I would own more cats. I have considered fostering cats, but I don't think my cat would be happy with that decision. Instead, I visit the cats at PetSmart and Kitty Brew Cafe, in Mason. We lost our Russian Blue cat of 13 years (we adopted her as an adult through H.A.R.T. ) to a stroke. One of my customers had recently gone into a nursing facility & he asked if I would like to adopt his Tiger cat, Marvin.

I sit all creatures. I feel pet sitting really helps my anxiety I have had since my car accident in 2004. If you have other animals in your home, I am willing to care for them as well. Animals are just attracted to me, even birds & chickens!!

I look forward to meeting your fur babies & taking wonderful care of them 😻

Learn More About Teresa

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

I've been cat sitting for almost 7 years now professionally. I have experience with up to 10 cats in one household & also with very shy cats to cats that like to supervise & show me around. I also have experience giving pills, inhalers, & clipping nails.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love cats. They also calm me down. I have so much fun being entertained by them that it's easy to lose track of time!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I always feel very rewarded when a customer tells me their cat is very shy & won't spend time with me. But then they get curious & come out to spend time with me. It's so rewarding!!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

We currently have a male tiger cat named Marvin. He's 16. I inherited him from one of my customers who had to go to a nursing facility. He is a real character & is always entertaining us. I had one very spoiled female Russian Blue whom we adopted almost 13 years ago, as an adult. Unfortunately, she had a stroke in late July & we had to put her down. Her name was Smokie. Our previous cat, who we had 18 years, was a grey tuxedo named Tootsie, who we also adopted. We also owned 2 other cats, brother & sister, who we named Pebbles (a tortie) & Bamm Bamm (strawberry blonde).

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

Provide the sitter with all pertinent information on the cats, vet info, emergency number, favorite toy, where the food is kept, location of litter boxes, cats habits, cats likes & dislikes.

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

I explain what services each of my visits include, that I will send an update of how the visit went along with pictures & videos after each visit. I ask about the cats favorite toys, where the food & litter box are, & if they take any meds.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I make sure no cats are near the door when I arrive so no one escapes. I also make sure everything is locked up & no one tries to escape when I leave. I bring in mail & leave a different light on, just so it looks like people are home.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I usually am available 24/7, 365 days a year. Occasionally I take a vacation. I might have to start slowing down now that my husband has altzheimers

What is your favorite cat toy?

All cats seem to love my wands with things attached to them. I have a "Mary Poppins" bag full of toys the cats crawl in & get out toys they want to play with. I also have cats who fall in love with YEOWWW brand toys. Upon meeting new customers, I give them a small YEOWWW toy.

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

I let them slowly get used to me visiting, lying next to the bed they usually hide under. I've even been known to crawl under a bed and just talk softly to them.

Teresa took care of our three cats, Todd, Henry, and Paulie, twice a day while we were away on a five-day trip, and she was absolutely wonderful. Two of our cats have special needs — one is on a prescription renal diet with daily medication, and another takes daily supplements and has arthritis — and Teresa followed every instruction perfectly, including working our portion-controlled feeders. What amazed us most is how quickly the cats took to her. Paulie is a 15-year-old rescue with serious trust issues who has never let anyone outside our family get close to him with a brush — Teresa brushed him and he didn't even flinch. And Todd, who communicates using recordable buttons and in over four years had only ever used them with me, actually talked to her with his buttons and asked her for a brushing. That has never happened with anyone else, ever. She sent us updates after every visit, kept the litter boxes and water dishes exactly as asked, and left everything in perfect order when we got home. Our cats were calm, happy, and clearly well loved while we were gone. We would book Teresa again without a second's hesitation — she is truly one of a kind.

Theresa was great she did everything you would want from someone watching your animals and since our cats are super skittish she went above and beyond by making sure she looked for and checked each one every trip which is no small task will use her every time

Teresa took amazing care of our five kitties while we were away. She even got our shiest kitty to come out to eat, play, and get pets while she was here. This kitty is 11 years old and she has NEVER come out of hiding for anyone when we have been away, much less play and be petted. We really appreciate all of the work she put in during her visits to earn the trust of all of our kitties!

This was my first experience with Meowtel and my first time away from my fur babies. Teresa was great! She got Marley, whose extremely shy, to come out from her hiding spots for play time. She sent me photos and updates each day, which put me at ease. I will be using Meowtel in the future. Thank you!

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.

West Chester 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 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!
