I’m a lifelong animal lover with a deep soft spot for cats. I grew up in the Caribbean, where caring for animals—especially strays—instilled in me a strong sense of compassion, patience, and responsibility.
I’ve fostered special-needs animals, including neonatal kittens, and understand how important calm, attentive care is—especially when a cat is in their own space. I specialize in respectful, low-stress drop-ins that support your cat’s routine, comfort, and emotional well-being.
I’m very communicative and love sharing thoughtful updates, photos, and short videos so you feel connected and at ease while you’re away. I care for every cat as if they were my own and can’t wait to care for your fur baby.
Learn More About Sidney
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I’ve been cat sitting for 2 years, first for friends and family and then more officially. Alot of my experience came from personal care and fostering. I’ve helped raise neonatal kittens, cared for adult and senior cats, and supported cats with different personalities and needs. I treat every visit with the same level of care and attention I’d want for my own pets.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Look for someone who really pays attention to your cat’s personality and routine. Every cat is different—some need quiet companionship, some love interactive play—and a good sitter will follow their lead. Communication is key, so choose someone who shares updates and is easy to reach.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I treat every home as if it were my own and every cat as if they were family. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep doors and windows secure, and make sure cats are safe in their space at all times. Communication is important too—I always update owners and reach out immediately if anything comes up. My goal is to keep both the cats and the home safe, comfortable, and stress-free.

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.
Providence cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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 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!
