Learn More About Kelly

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

I have been cat sitting for 3-4 years. I filled in on a job for my roommate years ago (the owner was fully aware and allowed it). At the time, she had a very shy cat that would run and hide whenever someone would come to her house. The cat only came out for her humans. When I started sitting for this family, I never saw the cat, she hid (and really well!). One visit, I saw the cat hiding in the bed, under the covers and I softly just pet her over the covers. She slowly came out from under the covers and has come out for me ever since! She no longer hides from me, and lets me pet her all the time now!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love cats. I get cats. I understand that they take time to build trust. I find the more shy cats to be the most rewarding, because cats can be very wary of humans. But once you gain their trust, it’s the best thing ever. They become a whole different cat. And I truly appreciate that!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

For my answer to a previous question, I would like to continue the discussion. Ever since my roommate asked me to fill in for that job, she and her coworkers (they work at a vet clinic) have only been asked to pet sit for the family once, as I was unavailable to sit during the requested timeframe. I am the family’s go-to sitter, and that means a lot to me that they took a chance in trusting me to come into their home and take care of their kitties. They were extremely impressed when they found out I had gained the trust of their shy kitty and that she allowed me to give her pets and scritches.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Atticus, Thursday, Lily, Buddy, Patches, Sweetie, Newsie, Sir Tow Mater, Shug.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, most holidays I am off from work.

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

I respect the floofs. I try to move quietly, and will often just sit in their presence and talk to them softly, or try enticing them out with churu or their favorite treats.

Kelly is the most dedicated, caring & remarkable cat sitter I have ever uses. She goes out of her way to assure my cats are well cared for & she has gone over & above to help me personally. One of my cats takes medication & she always assures that she gets her meds at the prescribed times. I have called her on short notice & she has made herself available. My cats absolutely adore her. I have a cat that was feral & is terrified of people she doesn't know. Kelly was able to get her to trust her in a record two days of interactions with her during the first time she cared for her. That little kitty now recognizes Kelly & literally runs to her when she comes to care for her. All three of my cats are crazy about her & I am too. I trust Kelly more than any other sitter I've ever used. I recommend her highly & without reservation. She is simply amazing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fredericksburg cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $21.00. 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.
