I'm Ryan
Cat Sitting in Madison, TN
I’m passionate about giving each cat personalized care, including plenty of playtime, pets, and cuddles. My clients often become like family, and I’ve had the pleasure of working with many of them for years. I am now an educator and though I spend many of my hours caring for children, my love for animals has never wavered, and I still dedicate time to caring for cats whenever possible. This includes evenings, weekends, and all breaks.
What sets me apart? I’m reliable, trustworthy, and go above and beyond to make sure your cats feel loved while you’re away. When you choose me, you’re choosing someone who treats your pets as their own. Your furry companions will be in excellent hands!
Learn More About Ryan
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have worked for two pet care companies in Nashville (Good Mojo and Helping Hands) as well as worked for other pet sitting apps. I have over 12 years of experience and have many clients of my own that I have had for several years. I have cared for cats of all ages and have experience and feel comfortable administering meds
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
What’s not to love? I love cats and always have! I get so excited when I see my kitty friends. It is also so special building relationships with them. I have had cat clients that their cats took years to come around when I would stop by but once they finally trusted me and wanted to be around me it was so heart warming!
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
I don’t think I have a favorite. All cats are different and all have different personalities. There is definitely specific things that I love about all the kitties I watch. Some love belly rubs ( I know crazy but they do exist) some get so excited about treats, some are so silly and love to play and chase toys. There is many things to love about cats!
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Maybe one day! Right now I have a pup named Blade. He is scared of cats but would love to have one again someday!
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I usually ask to set up a Meet and Greet. However, if time is pressed a detailed video is always great!
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I ensure safety of the cat and their home by making sure all doors and windows are shut and locked (no escapees on my watch). Also by making sure any alarms are set! And if I do notice something out of the ordinary asking the pet parent about it.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes! I usually take off every other Christmas, but other than that I am happy to spend holidays with kitties!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I give them their space. Once they are ready they will come to me, and if they aren’t that is okay too!

Ryan was amazing! This was my first time scheduling with Meowtel and Ryan went above and beyond. She had an issue with my door on the first day. Immediately called me. I missed the call but did contact her and explain the issue. She took care of my cat but also noticed my strays I feed. I didn't want to bog her down with extra chores and my neighbors sort of feed the strays as well. Ryan informed me that she fed those cats as well. And swept up litter and scooped my cat's box which I didn't even ask her to do. She also washed all the dishes. I have a very skiddish cat, but she was fine when I returned home. I'd use Ryan again in a heartbeat!! She's awesome!!

This was our first time using a pet sitter and Ryan exceeded all our expectations! We have a shy older orange tabby and Ryan made sure to seek him out everyday in his hiding spots and send us photos so we could see he was doing well. We were able to relax while we were away knowing our old man was well taken care of in the comfort of his home rather than a boarding facility. We will definitely be requesting Ryan again when we have the need!

I was anxious about leaving Millie while we were vacationing out of town but our experience with Ryan was wonderful. She sent pics every day and cuddled her, played with her as well as feeding her and scooping poop. I would give 10 stars for how easy it was to hire Ryan through Meowtel.

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.
Madison 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 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!

I have seen Ryan's extremely gentle demeanor with animals. Even the most timid find calm with her around. She shows up on time and never cancels. She adores furry friends and always looks forward to meeting new babies. I 100% trust my littles will be well taken care of under Ryan's watchful eye.
