My beloved cat Goose passed away in December. While I know that me adopting another cat is not something I am ready for I still have all this love and care to give to other kitties that need it. I love cats so much, each cat is so unique and comes with there own special quirks and cuteness. Goose was a sick cat for a decent portion of her life so I have some knowledge and experience with administering medications. Overall I will give your kitties the love and attention that they all deserve. Also trust the feeding routine I had for Goose was many steps! So I will take extra care in following all feeding instructions and make sure they get the love they need while your away!

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

Besides having my own cat and caring for her. I have also cat sitted for a couple friends of mine. I would say the cat sitting has been happening for a few years or so. One of the cats I looked after is a very shy and timid cat, so I did what I needed to do of making sure he had food and water. Then I would just sit on the floor and he would slowly come out and sniff me and sometimes play. This taught me just being calm and present will make the kitty curious. The other cat I looked after he is so loving and sweet. He would just require pets. Sweetest old man ever. I feel two different personalities but I enjoyed both immensely and I feel I can adapt well to the different personalities that cats have!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Getting to meet other people’s kitties and see what there personalities are like. I love how each cat has such a distinct personality and I love to discover what it is and how to bring them the most joy based on what they like or don’t like. i also just love the company of cats!

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

I give them time and space. If they are curious I will let them smell me. If the cat is curious and engages more with me then I will move forward to see if pets are acceptable. If not then I let the cat be while I do what I need to do for there care. Meaning if a cat is particularly timid or anxious I will do the tasks needed to keep the care up for the kitty and then I will just spend some time on the space and see if the kitty comes to me. Having someone new in your home that you don’t know is so scary! So patience is the key!

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!
