Learn More About Mike

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I do have my own kitties! Youngest to oldest, we have: Kimchi, 2, orange girl; Mushroom, 3, classic tabby; and Selina, 10, our half Siamese grumpy old lady pretty princess.

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

Our one boy, Mushroom, really likes to slip outside, so I know when I enter, I should do so carefully and looking down so nobody furry gets out! I'll make sure the door is fully shut behind me, and I won't open any other doors or windows unless given express permission.

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

Two of my three cats are timid and anxious, so I have a lot of experience with kitties like that. I get low, lower than them, if I can, to not appear so big. I try to avoid eye contact at first, and I hold my hand out for them to sniff first. I'll only give them pets if they headbutt my hand. Last, of course, I use a soft voice.

Mike is one of the most empathetic and caring people I have ever met. He has a wonderful personality and his kindness extends over humans and animals alike. Not to mention that he is an altogether good person. If I were to entrust someone with the safety of a beloved pet, Mike would be at the top of the list.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pittsburgh cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $26.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
