Are you usually available during holidays?

My schedule is very flexible and so I am available for most Holidays, if not all, throughout the year.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toys are strings, feathers and bouncy balls. My absolute all-time favorite for exercise purpose are laser lights.

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

When a cat is timid or anxious, I first try to give them a treat they love or give them their favorite toy to play with. I also just sit on the floor and let them come to me, which they normally do. I let them sniff me, rub against me, whatever they need so they know they can trust me.

Luz was absolutely incredible with my boys! It was our first time using an at-home service and she gave me so much peace of mind that my kitties were happy and safe while we were away! They were extremely timid at first but Luz was so kind and gentle with them. She showed up every day (even Christmas!) and sent pictures and videos which was also so helpful and fun to look at. She left the house super clean as well. It was an absolute godsend to find her and we will definitely call her for any future trips!

Overall, my experience was great and Trix absolutely loved her! She was actually our first overnight sitter (I think we were her first overnight stay too), and it went really well! She was very responsive, informative, and accommodating throughout the booking process. She accepted my booking last minute, did a meet-and-greet the same day I was leaving out of town, and even allowed me to edit my booking so I could come home a day early and receive a refund for that day, which I really appreciated (boooo Airbnb). The only thing, is communication could have been a little better during one visit. She had a personal matter come up (which I completely understand because life happens), but she wasn’t able to arrive during the scheduled time range and I wasn’t updated, so I was left wondering if my cat would be fed on time (she was! thanks Luz). Honestly, just a text a little bit earlier letting me know that she will probably be late to the visit because of a personal matter, but she will be there, I'd have felt more at peace. Aside from that one experience, she was amazing and I wouldn’t let it stop me from booking with her again. Trix was well cared for, and I truly appreciate how helpful and flexible she was.

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.

Williamsburg cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $27.00. 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 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. 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 free Meet & Greet!
