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

When I meet a new cat parent I like to be as communicative As Possible!.... So we can be on the same page, and everything can run smoothly for the cat parent, the cat, and my self. Schedules, preferences, tips/notes , and need to know information is All Important and good to have.

Are you usually available during holidays?

For the most part I am open, so it varies, but if I have an obligation and work is needed, then I work, and plan around that.

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

I like to get down at there level, and give them the opportunity to get comfortable with me and smell me. I will also pet to comfort them, if they allow... And of course, ask the owner of any special tricks, and information that could help!

Frequently Asked Questions

Henrico cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $27.00. 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.
