I have 6 YEARS of CATSITTING experience and I have 2 little furry babies myself. I have a lot of experience with cats who do not like changing environments, traveling, and cats that feel timid around new people. I know how to create a safe space for them and how to allow them to feel like they’re well taken care of when their owner is away.
I am currently working part time so I have a lot of time to spend with your furry babies. I am also free in the afternoon to check on cats while you’re at work so they don’t get lonely.

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

I have 6 years of experience with cat sitting. It is absolutely one of my favorite things in the world getting to enjoy the company of little furry babies by giving them pets and cuddles.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I love most about cat sitting is getting to know your adorable baby! Each cat has its own unique personality, and I enjoy spending quality time with them, whether it’s playing with their favorite toys, giving gentle cuddles, or just hanging out while they nap. Making sure your kitty feels loved and happy while you’re away is my absolute joy!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes, I have two cats. The boy’s name is Orion like Orion’s Belt. He’s a bit shy around strangers and doesn’t like travel but he’s a very chill and playful cat. And then there’s Zara who’s an affectionate, playful sweetie pie. They are my babies, and if you book me I will treat your babies like my own ♥️

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

When hiring a cat sitter, look for someone trustworthy with experience in caring for cats. It’s important to choose a sitter who communicates well and provides regular updates while you’re away, including lots of photos to keep you in the loop! P.S. cat photography is my second full time job.

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

To handle an anxious and timid cat, I would create a safe and quiet environment where they feel secure. I’d let them approach me slowly and calmly, allowing them to come to me at their own pace. Using treats and gentle play to help build trust and encourage interaction. I would avoid sudden movements and loud noises that could startle them. I would let them stay in hiding spots to help them feel more at ease and allow them to come out when they’re ready. I also love playing calming cat music for them. Patience is key; my goal is to give them time to adjust and always respect their boundaries to foster a sense of safety and comfort.

This is the second time Sandra has watched my cats with another introduced (3 total). One cat is a diabetic and she ensured he had the correct amount of insulin 2x a day. With the new kitty, who’s much younger and has more energy, spent time to play with her while she’s still getting adjusted to our house separated from the resident cats. Thanks again, Sandra!

Sandra was wonderful. She coordinated with me during the reservation process to know my cat , her habits, daily routines before I went to vacation. I loved receiving her updates with pictures of Silly . She took her out for sun bath during the visit, which is very important for my cat. Silly was happy and relaxed when I came back . I feel extremely confident she was in the best care. It was very easy to communicate with Sandra during my trip despite the time difference. I look forward to booking Sandra in the future and would highly recommend her services.

Sandra took great care with my 2 boys and ensured all their needs were met while my husband and I were on vacation. One of my cats is diabetic, so knowing that Sandra had experience with insulin injections helped us feel at ease while we were gone for the week.

Sandra is amazing!! She checked on my cat while I was away by stopping by for dedicated play time, giving her love and treats, and making sure Missy the Kitty’s food dispenser, water fountain and litter robot were working perfectly. She calmed my anxiety by taking photos of Missy and letting me know Missy was doing well! I’m finally able to take trips knowing my cat is in great hands!

Sandra is attentive, kind, and professional and took wonderful care of our cat, Otto. Upon their first meeting, he was quickly at ease. Sandra offered Otto lots of playtime and cuddles with each visit and provided us with regular video/photo/text updates along the way. She covered the final few days of our time away and coordinated the transition perfectly with the cat sitter who had taken care of Otto during the first week. We would love to have Sandra again!

Sandra was great! We are convinced that she is the cat whisperer! One of our cats who never comes out for visits, came out and spent time with Sandra! She was even able to get a photo. Thank you again so much for helping with our kitties and can’t wait to work with you again!

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.

If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.

Sterling cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a 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. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a Meet & Greet!
