Learn More About Betsey

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

I have been cat-sitting for neighbors + friends for the last 10 years.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love just hanging out with cats!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I truly love them all ❤️

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Unfortunately, all of my pets have passed away from old age. I did have two amazing cats - Pod + Dudley :)

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

Schedule an in-person meet + greet before hiring a pet sitter. This way you can get a better feel for who you are hiring to watch your pets - and it gives the sitter a chance to know where you keep your food, medications + litter boxes. The sitter will be in your home while you are away, and you will want to make sure you are hiring the right person for the position.

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

A phone/video call is always preferred before the first visit so the client can make that initial connection. (An in-person meet + greet at the client’s home is even better!) I always want to learn more about the client’s needs + expectations while they are away. I want every cat-owner to feel comfortable leaving their furry friend at home knowing that their pet is in good hands!

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

I always follow all instructions that the owner leaves behind. I prefer to discuss any medical problems, feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, etc. prior to my first visit. I always make sure to lock all windows + doors prior to leaving the home.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am typically available during holidays. If for some reason I am on vacation, my calendar will not be available on Meowtel.

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

I always pay attention to the cat’s body language. If the cat needs space, I respect its needs and typically sit on the floor to get on their level and wait for the cat to come to me. Offering treats always seems to help!

Listen, Betsey is the way to go. This is the first time with a hired sitter and not friend/family... and I've had one of these cats for >22 years. I truly did not feel worried about my cats, my house, and it was good to not burden my family. Betsey is attentive, responsible, just takes care of things, and my cats were so happy and grounded when I got home- Not yowling and eating the paint off the walls per usual.

Betsey took fabulous care of our cats for an entire week. Daily pics and written updates let us know she had seen and interacted with each of our 3! Even our shy Nona was won over and played with her😎 ! I give her the highest recommendation possible ❤️

Frequently Asked Questions

Charleston cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $23.00. 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.
