Learn More About Giovanna

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Cats are my favorite animals because they are much more similar to humans compared to other traditional pets like dogs. Cats pick their favorite people and their respect and trust must be earned, just like us humans!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I am the devoted executive assistant to a Siberian cat named Lola (formally Whatever Lola Wants). Lola is a demanding employer with a confident personality who taught me the importance of being vocal about our wishes.

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

I believe it is essential to let the cat come to you. As a cat sitter, I accept that not all cats need and want a companion and I do not force unwanted or stressful interaction on the cat. As much as I love all cats, I understand that being a cat sitter is about taking care of their needs and respect their boundaries and not about fulfilling our own desire for interaction. Moreover, I understand that cat sitting entails a great deal of trust on behalf the owners as they let a new individual in their home. By providing the highest level of individualize care for a cat, I also strive to give peace of mind to the owners.

Giovanna is amazing! She was so sweet, patient, and clearly loves kitties. We got tons of photos and videos every day we were gone, and our cats love her. Great cat sitter!

Giovanna provided excellent care to our 2 kitties. She provided updates, pics, and videos of her twice daily visits which let me see that our kitties loved playing with her and were doing well. I enjoyed my vacation more because I knew they were well cared for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Springfield 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.
