Cat Sitting in Duquesne, PA

Hello to my fellow cat lovers!

Cats have always been an important part of my life. I grew up on a farm where we took in many strays, and in my adult life I've had numerous indoor only cats as well. I consider myself very good at reading cat body language. If your cat is shy or nervous I do my best to put them at ease so they don't become more stressed than they already are by their people being gone.

While I am familiar with how to administer many medical treatments, I've decided to no longer offer subcutaneous fluids for clients...
Hello to my fellow cat lovers!

Cats have always been an important part of my life. I grew up on a farm where we took in many strays, and in my adult life I've had numerous indoor only cats as well. I consider myself very good at reading cat body language. If your cat is shy or nervous I do my best to put them at ease so they don't become more stressed than they already are by their people being gone.

While I am familiar with how to administer many medical treatments, I've decided to no longer offer subcutaneous fluids for clients. It's already a very stressful treatment, and with an unfamiliar person, it compounds the risk of not being handled well. I am still ready to administer pills, eyedrops, ear drops, and asthma treatments.

If you have other pets in the house as well, I'm familiar and willing to care for many. Dogs, rabbits, parrots, ferrets, snakes, lizards, rats, etc. The only type of pet I'd say I'm uneasy with are spiders due to phobia (but I will still be okay if they are in the home.) I'm also willing to tend to plants, take in mail and packages, and other things which will help keep your household running smoothly while you're away.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I currently have two grey tiger boys, Ted and Toonces. They have a love/hate relationship. Ted loves Toonces and Toonces hates him unless it's cold then it's cuddle time.

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

I let your cat lead the way. If they're very nervous and want to hide, I won't chase after them. I'll often times sing or talk so they can know that someone is there for them. If they just seem a little hesitant, I may sit or lay on the floor near them so they can see I'm not a threat. I will never forcibly try to make your cat socialize.

Plans for a week long trip took an unexpected twist when Pumpkin hurt her paw/leg jumping one week prior. She needed medication and rearrangements to my living space to keep her safe as she recovered from the injury. I had already booked with Crystal for the trip. She provided honest updates and pictures of each visit. She notices subtle details and changes. She elevated her bowls to help Pumpkin stand more comfortably when eating. When it looked like Pumpkin was ready to advance to some play time, Crystal added that to her visit. Each next step during the week added up to help strengthen her paw/leg. When I arrived home one week later Pumpkin’s pace was considerably more of a waltz than a limp!! Knowing Crystal’s care, compassion and experience with kitties would be there taking care of my girl made all the difference for me while I was away. I appreciate Crystal and I am grateful for Crystal’s skilled services. Highly recommend!!

Crystal did an amazing job taking care of all of out pets. She was exceptionally attentive to their needs, making all our pets feel comfortable and cared for while we were away. She also kept in very regular contact. It lifts a huge load off of your mind to know that your pets are safe and relaxed while you are away.

My kitty felt so relaxed and supported by Crystal’s care. This was evident in the pictures Crystal included with her daily updates. When I came home my kitty looked like she had been at a spa - ◡̈ - she looked so comfortable when I walked through the door! She approved of Crystal which means a lot to me. I will definitely check Crystal’s availability when I need a cat sitter!

This was my second time booking Crystal and she is simply phenomenal! My old man is nearly 18 years old and I’m incredibly anxious when I have to leave him. With Crystal, he not only receives excellent care in terms of the basics, but he’s truly cared for. Her updates are so fun and detailed. No detail is spared and that means so much to me. She has even managed to capture so many excellent photos of my guy, who is known to be camera shy! If you’re a nervous nelly like me, and want a sitter who you can trust will truly care for your kitties in every sense of the word, Crystal is the perfect choice!

Crystal is absolutely amazing! she took such great care of my cat while I was traveling. We felt so comfortable leaving Tweek in Crystal’s care. Crystal sent pics and an update every visit, and I could tell Tweek was super happy and comfortable with Crystal. I can’t thank her enough!!

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.

Duquesne cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $28.00. 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!
