Excellent Service. He showed up every time and took the best care of my girl. She is still shy around others and usually won't come out but he stayed and actually caught a couple of glances of her. He made sure everything was perfect for her. I highly recommend him.

Jacob responded in a timely manner. He engaged with our cats very well, the shy one even warmed up enough to be brushed! We saw the video! The kitchen and litter boxes were very clean upon our return.

It is always comforting to know that when Jacob said he would be there, he was. Very dependable. I have a new cat who has been through a lot after her previous owner passed away. A new home, new routines, new sights and smells. She is shy around new people but he was able to catch a glance of her and see that she had food and water. I highly recommend him.

Jacob was great! Even though my cats were "introverted" lol, he was still thorough and attentive and made sure their needs were met! Kudos to him for hanging in there with some absentee charges, especially twice a day!

Had Jacob for a second visit over Thanksgiving weekend and didn’t worry a bit. Two of our three cats are older and I know he keeps a good eye and fills me in at the end of each day. My three can’t wait to have him return again! Can’t recommend him enough.

Jacob first time sitting our 3 very odd rescue cats with different quirks and wasn’t phased! We felt very at ease the three days we had to be gone unexpectedly. Gave daily updates and cats just fine when we arrived. Would recommend him.

Jacob came through again during a busy holiday when we had to leave for a family situation. I don’t worry when he’s coming in and that means so much! Everything perfect.

Jacob was very kind and very respectful of my home. I received picture updates every day and constant communication. My cats received lots of snuggles while I was away!

Jacob is a kind and compassionate person with a true passion for cat care. He brings so much peace of mind to us when we have to leave town knowing our girls will get their medication and be as cared for as if we were there ourselves. Truly my number one recommended cat sitter, ever!

Whenever Jacob sits my house when I am away I know my animals will be happy and my house will be pristine when I get home. I am no longer stressed when I travel.

Animals have always flocked to Jacob and he has a true gift with them. He goes above and beyond when caring for animals and it shows in how much they love him. I’ve never trusted another sitter more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Richmond cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $26.00. 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.
