Learn More About Claudia

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Cats' personalities are all so unique. I love meeting all the babies and learning their personalities, down to the smallest funny quirks. They are all so different! I love that, it's what makes them special.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have three wonderful babies. For years before I got her, I knew I wanted a kitten named Bonnie. I finally got my Bonnie in June of 2020. Two years later, my partner , who had just moved here from Colorado at the time, adopted another sweet baby, our Luna. Lastly, last summer we felt something was missing, and we brought home a little boy (he was initially marked as a girl! We found out he was a boy when I reviewed his paperwork after we brought him home)! In my pictures, you can see Bonnie, Luna, and our newest baby, Mato. Bonnie is black and white, Luna is grey tabby, Mato is black. They are my beloved soul animals. I love every minute I spend with them. Their personalities are so different, yet they learn from each other. I love them!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

When I consider cat sitters for my own babies, I look to see if they have their own cats. I find that cat people are the best to spend time with my own kitties, especially as one of my babies is a little skittish around new people. Cat folks understand that!

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

First, I get in touch with the family I am sitting for. Some families have indoor/outdoor cats with cat doors, but I imagine most are strictly indoor. With that in mind, I want to make sure I know where all of the cats are in the house, that they aren't anywhere they are not supposed to be, and I'm always careful when I open and shut doors. Making sure they are all safely in the house is priority.

What is your favorite cat toy?

This is a tough answer, because the toys that I like, my cats aren't fond of. They love cardboard boxes, blankets and string toys. They also like fingers. We're working on that.

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

I have a kitty who is particularly nervous when new people come over. She is very friendly and sweet, but hides. She does best with slow, soft spoken voices and movements, and patience. With this in mind, I'll approach other timid kitties similarly, on their own time, patiently and gently.

Claudia is the absolute best!!! She was attentive, warm, caring, and really cares about our kitty! She sent so many wonderful pictures and videos while we were away to still feel connected to our angel, and we were so thankful. She also took care of our mail and trash!! I have never felt so relieved while away to know our kitty was really being cared after. Couldn’t imagine anyone else doing a better job!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Swarthmore cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $27.00. 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.
