Learn More About David

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love meeting new kitties and getting to learn about them. Every cat has a story and unique personality. I like to really get to know and bond with every kitty I watch over.

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

Biggest thing is being clear and detailed about expectations. If there are any specific feeding times, medications or food additives, or anything other than the normal expected tasks needed done during the sit.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

Meeting with the cat parent to go over the details of the cat sit, ensuring all needed information is exchanged. Setting up a time to exchange the key if needed, and then getting into the sit. Communicating with the cat parent during each day, and following up once the sit is complete to ensure everything is to their satisfaction.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love playing with wands and making my kitties do tricks! I also love to play with the laser pointer and watch them run all over the house.

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

Biggest thing is giving them the space and time to approach you. Letting them know you're in their space, but you're here for them. Treats also help get a kitty on your side!

David was quick to respond on my last minute request. He always told me he was on the way and sent pictures even though my cat hides for strangers under the bed. He updated me every day on her eating, drinking, and litter box. Would highly recommend!

David is the loving owner of 3 cats that live happy, healthy, and in good relation with eachother. I've known him since around mid 2019 and have seen him care for cats through all stages of life. One cat who was near the end of her life, one passing middle age, 2 new kittens (now adults), and several other rescue cats that they helped to find new homes. I believe it was a mother cat with 4 kittens. Of the many times I have visited over the years I have never seen any error in the level of care given to any animals. Especially in times when a cat has specific medical needs, he has been very attentive to each cat's requirement.

David is an exceptional cat sitter who provides attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. He takes the time to understand each cat’s unique personality and needs, and he consistently goes above and beyond to ensure they feel comfortable and well cared for. David is gentle, friendly, and highly communicative, always asking thoughtful questions and keeping me informed. I trust him completely with my cats, including managing special feeding routines and medications. Knowing they are in his care gives me total peace of mind, and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a dedicated and professional sitter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dumfries cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $28.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
