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

I think my number one piece of advice would be to know your cat. Think about your cat's personality. Are they social? What phase of life are they in? Are they anxious? Are they on a strict routine? How often do they enjoy playtime? And how does all of that translate to what they need? And then Find a sitter who knows how to respect your cat's boundaries. It's important to ask about a sitter's experience with special needs or particularly shy cats. What is their comfort with the unexpected? For example, are they comfortable giving medications or helping with mobility issues, displaying patience and calm energy, even if a situation feels scary? Finally determine how often frequently you want updates even if not much has changed. Just something to make your heart happy.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am available most holidays during the year. My availability may shift here and there but with any amount of notice or advanced warning I can be made available.

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

For timid or anxious cats I try not to force interactions with them. I generally move slower. Speaking a calm voice, I spend a lot of time on their level, if I can. I don't make direct eye contact or walk directly at them. I also try and keep a low stress and familiar routine, And take the small ones where you can. Sometimes, just being in the same room together calmly is a success.

Frequently Asked Questions

Vienna 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.
