Learn More About Alyssa

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I absolutely love getting to know each cat's unique personality! After 20+ years of cat sitting and having cats of my own, I've learned that every single one is different. Some are shy and need time to warm up, others are social butterflies who greet you at the door, and some (like my Jack!) are all about the love but get overwhelmed easily. No matter what their personality, I find it so rewarding when they start to trust me and let their true selves shine through!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have one, named Jack! I adopted him from a shelter when he was just 8 weeks old. He's your typical boy cat who just wants all the love, isn't the most graceful, and is filled with purrs. He also gets overstimulated pretty easily, so I really understand cats who need breaks and space.

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

When working with a new cat parent, I want to make sure I know about you cat(s). How do they react with strangers, where their food/medication is, how often to change the water for them, litter box location, favorite toy. I also appreciate phone numbers of your vet for any just in case situations.

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

While cat sitting, I always check around to see if I spot any vomit, or other bodily fluid where it shouldn’t be. If cats allow me to pet them, I will also be checking for and cuts bumps, etc., on their skin to make sure nothing new is there that could become more serious. Depending on the weather, I will check to make sure the thermostat is working and it’s not too hot or cold for the cats. If something is off with the temperature I will check in with the cat parents. Home wise I am always happy to take out trash and take packages in/mail in while you are away. I always lock the doors before I leave and always make sure no kitty has escaped! I am an observant person so if anything seems off, I will contact you to check in!

I could not ask for a better cat sitter for my two senior kitties! Alyssa is a lovely, friendly, animal-loving person and my cats thought so too. She followed all instructions to a "T" and kept me informed after each visit. Smokey even allowed her pets! Thank you Alyssa!

Alyssa is the best! I have a specific cat situation and Alyssa was able to accommodate all my cats preferences and meet him where he was at. He paid her back by allowing pets, and trust. I love the updates and pictures and she is always on time. As we all know how much cats love a routine. I sincerely can’t express how grateful I am to have Alyssa care for my baby while I’m away as I know he will be in great hands.

Alyssa took excellent care of my two cats while I was away. She sent updates and pictures with every visit. She was very attentive to my cats’ unique personalities and I felt like they were very well cared for! She was also very attentive to general house things like when my tomato plants ran out of water during a heat wave! My cats seemed super happy with Alyssa’s care and I look forward to her caring for them again.

Alyssa is my favorite person to watch my cats! She is always the first person I check with to see if she’s available because she is just the best. She always makes sure there is fresh water, clean litter and food bowls, and my cats are always happy when I return. Alyssa herself is so kind and warm, and she is so easy to talk to. She texts professionally and updates whenever she stops by the house, and she cleans up all the toys! When Alyssa watches my cats, I have the most peace of mind.

Alyssa is the ideal cat sitter. She loves cats and is very skilled at taking care of them. She is an outstanding communicator and is very responsible. I fully trust her to watch over my cats when I am away. She will care for your cats like they are her own, and she'll give you plenty of fun updates to enjoy while you are away!

Frequently Asked Questions

Pittsburgh cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Cat sitters on Meowtel offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so you can find the best options which are close by.

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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit typically includes the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
