Caring For Cats Like They're My Own

I'm Shadya

Cat Sitting in Pawtucket, RI

Hi! I’m Shadya! I’ve always loved animals, but cats have a special place in my heart. I have a cat of my own, Willow, who I’ve had since she was a kitten, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your cat while you’re away. I’m currently studying Veterinary Technology in college and I’m also certified in Cat & Dog First Aid. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box care... Hi! I’m Shadya! I’ve always loved animals, but cats have a special place in my heart. I have a cat of my own, Willow, who I’ve had since she was a kitten, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your cat while you’re away. I’m currently studying Veterinary Technology in college and I’m also certified in Cat & Dog First Aid. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and of course giving your cat plenty of love and attention. I also understand that every cat has their own personality, especially shy or nervous cats, so I’m patient and will always let them get comfortable with me at their own pace. During visits, I’ll make sure your cat is safe, comfortable, cared for, and that you receive updates so you know how they’re doing. I’d love to meet you and your cat! 🐱🩷

Learn More About Shadya

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

I have about two years of pet sitting experience caring for both cats and dogs for a family. My responsibilities included feeding, providing fresh water, giving medications or supplements as directed, playtime, cleaning, and keeping the owners updated while they were away. I also have experience handling and caring for cats through volunteering at an animal shelter.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is getting to know each cat’s personality and earning their trust. I love making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owner is away. I also really enjoy playtime and giving them attention in whatever way they’re most comfortable with.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I have a 4 year old cat named Willow who I’ve had since she was just two months old. She’s a huge part of my life and has taught me a lot about caring for cats and understanding their different personalities and needs.

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.

Pawtucket cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $27.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
