Learn More About Diana

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I currently have two cats who own Me. ๐Ÿ˜ผ Their names are Cheshire and Elektra.

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

You should find someone who wants to communicate and ask you all kinds of questions, especially preventative safety ones. And if you're doing meet and greets, in person is far better than on video/zoom. That way, both the sitter can be better oriented to the layout of the place and you can make sure the cats vibe well with the sitter. Good cat sitter vibes can go a long way to ease the stress levels of your kitties while you are away from them.

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

I offer them loving care and compassion because every kitty has different life experiences that may have given them trauma that we, as humans, might be unaware of. Cats have and need boundaries just like people do!

Diana was a fabulous caretaker for our two senior cats and three chickens! She gave very thorough daily updates with photos that gave us great peace of mind while we were on vacation, and shared additional FYI updates about the house (for example, a low battery alert on a fire alarm), so that there were no surprises when we returned. Our cats loved playing with Diana when she stopped by, and she went the extra mile by grooming them both as well! Diana was highly conscientious and very quick to respond, and was a pleasure to work with. We will definitely be booking again!

Response from Diana on Sep 1, 2024 "It was an absolute pleasure taking care of your crew while you were away. It was especially rewarding once Truffles opened up to me and gave me her lovely "Truffles-hugs"! I would happily care for your critters again!"

This was my first time using Meowtel, and I was a bit nervous about leaving my cat with a stranger. That said, Diana was exactly the kind of gentle spirit that my cat needed! She followed all instructions to a T, and she set my mind at ease with the updates and pictures sent while I was away. Canโ€™t recommend her highly enough!

While traveling, I look forward to the daily reports from Diana and her wonderful photos. She captures the essence of all of them as they wrangle for her attention.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $31.00. 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.
