I have many years experience with pet sitting and living with cats and various small critters like rats, turtles, hedgehogs and chickens. I prefer to interact with cats on their own terms: quiet companionship for nervous or sensitive kitties, lively play sessions for ones that have boundless energy, and everything in between. I feel like this strategy builds a sense of trust and confidence over time.
I'm a calm problem-solver in emergency situations, with professional training in high-stress laboratory environments.
Learn More About Emily
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been pet-sitting for friends for over 10 years. My most complicated sit has been taking care of three cats at a time, plus yard chickens.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I enjoy giving kitties enrichment to break up lonely days while their pet parent is away from home. The first greeting when they all come running to the door is the best feeling.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
The best advice is over-communication. Assume that your pet sitter is not a mind-reader and needs to be told every particularity that makes your cats tick and anything in your house that needs particular attention.

Emily was friendly and accommodating for our last-minute request. She accepted quickly and then reached out to ensure excellent communication. She connected with both kitties, even our shy one, and sent us great pics and feedback from her visit. It’s so great to have a Meowtel sitter here in Memphis with a focus on cats! Highly recommended!

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.
Memphis cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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!

Emily will provide top notch care for your cats as she is receptive to their needs not only for food and shelter but also for enrichment and emotional well being. I have witnessed her own cat Mango, who previously was a stray, flourish in her care.
