Cat Sitting in Oklahoma City, OK
I have worked in animal shelters for 7 years in Oklahoma and am extremely familiar with cats of all backgrounds.

I’m Shay and I’m a cat lover 🐱 I have 3 cats of my own and 2 feral cats outside that I’m consistently trying to win over.
I have worked in animal shelters for 7 years in Oklahoma and am extremely familiar with cats of all backgrounds.
I have some medical/medicine care experience for cats and am always willing to learn more! One of my cats Macky is a 3 legged boy with a brain injury and is very prone to health issues so I’m very familiar with vet care because of him.
I think it’s extremely important for all pet sitters to have basic level vet care knowledge while their owners are away. I’m also very lucky to have access to multiple vets in Oklahoma including some of the top pet dermatologists and emergency doctors which is always handy to have around for questions!
You can rest easy knowing your cats are safe with me!

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I’ve been cat sitting and providing cat care for about 8 years now. I have experience with cats of every temperament/background.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
There is never a time I don’t want to meet a new cat. My whole world revolves around cats. I’ve heard there’s a cat parade in the east coast where you get to walk around neighborhood and meet everyone’s cats and I think that’s on my bucket list!
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have 3 cats! Dahlia- my soulmate. She was my first cat I rescued. She’s the best girl in the whole world. Macky- my second baby. He was rescued from someone’s car engine in the winter and unfortunately lost his leg and had brain injuries. We took him in and have been obsessed with him every day since. Marnie- marnie is our only non traumatic rescue. We found her outside of a garage sale and just had to take her home. She’s never stopped talking since in true black cat fashion and she’s a typical youngest sibling! We love her so much!

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.
Oklahoma City 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!
