Kelly was wonderful with our shy cat. Our cat can be really picky with humans she likes but she seemed to warm up to Kelly right away. She was comfortable giving our cat her meds and sent daily updates with pictures. It was such a relief to have someone we could trust cat sitting when we were away. Would definitely book again!

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.
Salem cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. 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!

We had always had friends available to watch our kitties so we were very hesitant to use Meowtel, but Kelly was amazing from our first interaction via messages. She was very understanding and answered all of our questions and was even willing to meet ahead of time which we appreciated so much! We felt very comfortable as she took detailed notes and our kitties came up to her. She took amazing care of our 3 cats while we were away for a few days. The photos and updates we got were perfect and put us at ease immediately. We appreciated her quick responses and reassurance. We will definitely be booking her again whenever we are away!

Highly recommend Kelly! This is the first time we've ever left our kitty for 5 days and had a good experience. In the past, she has had potty accidents whenever we have left her. With Kelly, there wasn't a single problem, and our kitty was happy and content when we got back. I am very pleased, and look forward to hiring Kelly again in the future.
