Learn More About Maeves

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My cats names are Bug and Mercury. Bug is toothless and Mercury is missing a front leg, and they are both my whole world.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Any toy at the end of a string. My cats go absolutely bonkers for their birdie that bounces around imitating flying.

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

I have a timid cat myself, and I handle him with lots of patience and respect. I don't expect every cat to love me immediately, it takes time to build a bond. I like to give them their space, bit still use soft encouragement with treats and and a soft tone of voice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Richmond 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 $29.00. 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.
