Learn More About Ben

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

Ive been cat sitting for friends and family for the last 6 years. Ive sat for single cats or up to 6 at once! I'm experienced with managing individual medication needs and routinely checking on their health behaviors.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to know the individual personalities and behaviors of every cat i get to meet, as well as the amazing moment when they open up and I know I can make them feel close to as safe and loved as they do when you are there with them.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Ive had my own bonded rescues Tater and Tot! We've had them for over 3 years now and love to see them grow and find new ways to play and cuddle!

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

Ill normally schedule a meet and greet to make sure that your cat(s) and I are a good fit and can recognize me as not a threat. We'll review their schedule and how I can best take care of them while you're away.

Ben is excellent with animals. He is extremely responsible - if he was in charge of watching the cats he made sure that all of their needs were taken care of in a timely manner. He is also extremely caring and loving - he always made sure to play and cuddle with the cats but would respect their space when they needed it. Overall I would highly recommend Ben to take care of any animal, I would hire him in a heartbeat to look after them.

Ben is one of those people that animals instantly trust. When he met my childhood cat, who usually hides from new people, I was shocked that she immediately greeted him and let him pet her! Likewise, I’ve heard multiple people express surprise when their dogs or cats seek out Ben, saying that they’re not used to their pets being so instantly relaxed. Ben also rescued two feral cats several years ago. These poor kitties were initially terrified of toys and human contact. With lots of love, patience, and consistency from Ben, I’ve seen these cats transform into playful and snuggly love bugs! Again and again, Ben wins over animals with his kindness and respectful nature. Ben is very responsible, making him the perfect person to diligently follow whatever instructions you leave him. For example, Ben uses both phone alarms and calendar events to ensure that he administers medicines to pets exactly as prescribed. TLDR; I could go on and on, but Ben is the perfect fellow pet parent to take care of your fur babies! He’s organized, trustworthy, and an all-around kind person who genuinely loves animals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Providence 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.
