Denise bonded rapidly with my shy yet affable kitty, letting her engage at her own pace. I appreciated her regular short updates and photos. She was completely reliable, and also flexible when plans changed at the end of my trip and Maisie needed a few more days of care. Much appreciated!

Denise was amazing. My daughter was rushed to the hospital and couldn't get home to feed her cat. I live outside of the area so had to get in touch with Denise remotely. She responded and took the job. Come to find out, she was locked out of my daughter's house, so I asked her to call a locksmith to be let in. She handled everything with professionalism and care. She even bought supplies for kitty because my daughter hadn't been home. She was able to care for my daughter's kitty and she even checked up on him again to find out my daughter's friends were taking care of him too. She wrapped everything up with great care and compassion. Thank you Denise!

We enjoyed the help of Denise for the first time while away in Mexico. she is professional, timely and very personable. Everything went as planned. Daily photos were sent to me so we could see our kitty. Highly recommend this very kind lady and will use her services again in the future. A real gem!

One of my cats is a shy boy, but in a few visits he opened up and became more social with Denise. It felt so relieving to see he was not so timid the entire time I was traveling. I also appreciated Denise’s attentiveness and communication with me, sending me photos and updates every time she visited.

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:
- More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
- 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.
- Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.
All refunds are initially applied to the Cat Parent's Meowtel Account Balance for use toward a future reservation or tip. Funds may be returned to the original payment method at any time.
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.
Eugene cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $27.00. 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!

Denise stepped in at the last minute when another sitter we booked cancelled. It crossed my mind that we might have had to cancel our trip, if Denise hadn't come through for us. THANK YOU DENISE!! Your commitment, and dedication shine through.

This was our first time leaving our cats in the care of a sitter that we do not personally know. I am so glad we went with Meowtel & found Denise! It's apparent she has plenty of experience and her kindness upon the meet-&-greet was a huge reassurance that our boys were in good hands. The cats were happy when we got home & in her updates she told us she was able to have some good interactions with our more stranger-timid cat. I would trust Denise to take care of our cats again & definitely recommend her to others!

We have booked with Denise several times before and she is always wonderful. My cats seem to respond well to her and she is great about photo updates. It is very comforting to know that I don't have to worry about my kitties while we are away. I will continue to book with her in the future!

This was our first time getting a cat caretaker and I wish I had done it sooner. Denise was so great the whole way through. She came over, ahead of our trip, to meet us and get instructions. She sent a photo and update every time she came to the house. I had a special request that my cat have some supervised backyard time every day. She didn't make me feel silly for asking. Instead, she embraced it and we even caught her on our wildlife cam being so sweet to our cat. I came home to the house just as I had left it and I felt so relieved, thanks to Denise. Now I can go on trips, and not worry, because we will definitely be asking her to care for our fur girl again! Thank you Denise!

Denise was a great pet sitter. She did everything we asked her to do, and more! She sent regular updates with photos and spent extra time with our deaf senior kitty. She transported our cats to our vet for appointments, too. She responded to our messages promptly.

Denise did a great job with my very-scaredy diabetic kitty who requires insulin injections. She's flexible, patient and wasn't deterred by his shy behavior, I would definitely recommend her!
Chelsea
September 27, 2023
Denise was wonderful! She took the time to meet us beforehand so she could introduce herself to our furballs. She was able to coax our shy guy out and got some play time in with our lazy chonker. She was even nice enough to bring in our packages from the doorstep! I will definitely be calling her again the next time we go out of town.
Claudia

We have 2 young, feral cats. They are sweet, but not exactly lap cats. For them, play = love. Most sitters will feed a meal and scoop litter, but Denise also plays with them, and for that, I absolutely treasure her! It makes leaving them behind, a little bit easier. Thank you, Denise.

Awesome sitter! Replied super quickly and really exceeded my expectations. While away, I got videos of my cat getting pets, entertained with toys and given love and attention. It was great to know my cat wasn’t lonely when I was away and getting constant updates about her.

I really trust the care of our 2 cats to Denise. She is on top of everything - communication, showing up for each visit, caring for the cats and for the house, and sending me pics. I had a bad experience with another online service in the past, so was super relieved to find Meowtel - and Denise! Thank you :-)
