I live in downtown St. Louis and have one darling short-hair cat named Topo. She is the light of my life. She is 11 years old this year and she has now gotten me through a cross-country move And a pandemic! I have lived in St. Louis for 7 years and moved her here. I am from Austin, TX where I grew up with cats, dogs, possums. I have done pet-sitting my entire life.

I have stayed at a family friends house for over a week taking care of a 19-year-old hospice cat named Honey who, at a later date than my stay, has since traveled the rainbow bridge into kitty afterlife. I can provide this reference if you need.

No day job at the moment!!! AI took my job!!
Saturdays and Sundays are usually free days if I am not traveling or have other obligations (running errands, EATING!, celebrating special occasions, attending local festivities, PRIDE, volunteering, etc.)

Outside of work I love crossword puzzles, socializing at new restaurants, going to concerts, traveling, and exploring parks/nature-watching.

I am willing to work in St Louis City County and St Louis County. And IL.

Thank you for considering me. I would love to take care of your kitties young and old.

Learn More About Emily

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

The cats! They feed off good energy and vice versa. I enjoy the 1 on 1 time because cats are most in their element with a little added affection :) &&& there’s always something more to learn! I enjoy earning their precious love and trust as only true cat whisperers can :)

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 1 cat! She is a domestic short hair female named Topo turning 10 in June. But she’s a forever kitten to me!

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

Disclose as much information about your cat as possible: habits, preferences, things they love, things they hate, things they’re not allowed to do (if any). With regard to cleaning up messes/“accidents”: what cleaning agent is best to clean which type of flooring, if multiple. Location of all trash cans/ dumpsters. Where can the catsitter park, i.e. where is it safe and won’t disturb any street sweeping, emergency vehicles, delivery drivers or neighbors. If you have more than 1 cat, do they need to be separated? Or eat separately? Any special treatment? Does your cat have a preferred vet & emergency vet. Location of any and all cat carriers.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! Just depends on the Holiday. I usually stay local to St Louis but occasionally travel. Contact me ahead of time for any questions.

Emiky was truly wonderful with our kitty, Noodle! Her communication during every visit put our minds at ease and built our confidence in her. She handled Noodle's nightly meds without issue, and played with / brushed Noodle throughout the each visit. And the most important part - Noodle was comfortable with and eager to receive love and attention from Emily! We're very happy with our first experience hiring through Meowtel. We will definitely hire Emily again!

We love Emily. Knowing she's taking care of our furballs makes vacation so much more relaxing. One of our cats requires medication and doesn't like strangers, and Emily handles that with no problem.

Emily was like the Mary Poppins of cat sitters. Always checked in with us to report how our babies were doing and send photos and videos. Our girl tends to be skittish with new people but both cats instantly loved her.

Emily is awesome. She sent lots of pictures and video. Our cats were so much more chill when we got back home than they usually are, so I think they are as happy with her as we are.

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.

Dripping Springs 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!
