I'm Emily

Cat Sitting in Salt Lake City, UT

Greetings! My name is Emily (she/her) and I am a young professional located in the Central City area of Salt Lake City. I'm a queer Taurus sun who enjoys houseplants (would be happy to water yours if needed), having a cup of tea, and taking my cat Bagheera for walks in his stroller.

I have experience giving liquid medications, pills/tablets, applying topical ointments, administering an inhaler, and insulin injections. I understand the importance of playing with your cat and helping them feel comfortable in their routine while you are away...
Greetings! My name is Emily (she/her) and I am a young professional located in the Central City area of Salt Lake City. I'm a queer Taurus sun who enjoys houseplants (would be happy to water yours if needed), having a cup of tea, and taking my cat Bagheera for walks in his stroller.

I have experience giving liquid medications, pills/tablets, applying topical ointments, administering an inhaler, and insulin injections. I understand the importance of playing with your cat and helping them feel comfortable in their routine while you are away. Some activities I do with my own cats and would love to share with yours are playing with wand toys, tossing a toy mouse around, petting and brushing, clicker training, giving treats, and snuggling. I have experience as a volunteer at Kitty City at the Humane Society of Utah, fostering and volunteering with Best Friends Animal Society, and cat sitting for friends.

I am available as early as 8am for your kitty's breakfast, and as late as 8pm for dinner and bedtime wind down. I am not available for overnight stays. I also cannot provide service in homes of individuals who smoke. I service the Downtown, Avenues, Capitol Hill, Marmalade, East Central, Sugar House, Liberty Wells, Ballpark and South Salt Lake neighborhoods. I would love to meet your cat(s) and be their companion while you are away!

Learn More About Emily

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

I have been cat sitting with Meowtel for 4 years! Prior to that, I was cat sitting for friends and family casually for 3 years and have had cats of my own the majority of my life.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to know the kitties and their silly little quirks! Maybe they prefer drinking from the bathroom faucet or only eat wet food if it's on a certain dish. Maybe they don't like their bums scratched but love their cheeks rubbed. I love these kinds of details because it reminds me just how unique and exciting cats are! They're weird little creatures and I love them all.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I have a 14 year old floofy black cat named Bagheera. He knows how to give high fives 😹

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

My method for meeting any new cat is to offer my hand to smell first. If they seem uncomfortable, I crouch down to their level and avoid making eye contact. I allow any cats that seem particularly timid or anxious to assert their boundaries and I respect them. I understand that I am a stranger in their territory and they don't owe me affection.

Emily is amazing. She immediately matched the pace our kitties needed, both for our more outgoing younger cats and our shy girls who mostly hid. Her updates were great, their food and water and litter stations were all perfectly maintained, and we all looked forward to her visits (my kitties and me!)

Emily was fantastic. She gave oral medication to our cat and got our older cat to eat her soft food by putting it on a elevated surface. She also took after some of our houseplants. She updated us with photos and details of her visits.

Emily really has that magnetic energy that cats are so charmed by. She met our furballs and was immediately in an approachable posture that they were enticed by. She took excellent care of all our kitties, their spaces, and our home. Great updates and communication, and bonus points for giving special attention to our two shy babies who hid most of her visit. They still got treats and gentle interaction, and when we got home everyone was VERY cheerful and calm. Thanks for helping us maintain the routine that keeps our babies happy!

Emily is always wonderful with our babies, and I can tell how happy they are by the looks on their faces in the pics she sends me! She pays close attention to everyone's need for play, pets, space, and patience, and keeps everyone's food and litter stations tended to. We love Emily!

Emily is an excellent cat sitter. My cat can be pretty shy but Emily took the time and effort to become friendly with her, play with her and pet her when all I expected Emily to do was ensure she had food/water. Emily went far and above expectations. Additionally, there was a miscommunication that resulted in an unexpected car in my driveway. Emily was beyond patient and understanding as I figured out who's car it was to ensure that Emily could safely enter the house. I cannot recommend Emily enough.

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.

Salt Lake City cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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!
