This was our second time having Barbara and a much longer amount of time this go around. It went perfectly and we couldn’t have asked for better care. Our 4 boys and home were well taken care of. We are so blessed to have found such a kind, wonderful, and attentive cat sitter! Thank you!

Barbara is the best of the best! We were out of the country for 12 days over the holidays and Barbara took incredible care of our four kitties!! I have a special needs (CH) cat who is terrified of new people and two four month old kittens (and a senior girl!) and I cannot tell you how relieved I felt that they were in Barbara’s care. I got updates and photos everyday. My CH girl starting warming up to her towards the end and the kittens were her shadow each visit! When I came home, it was clear they had the best care. Clean bowls, clean water, plenty of kibble, clean litterboxes! We are SO grateful for Barbara and her amazing care of our babies! Would easily hire her again!

Barbara has been watching our cats for over a year now and she is honestly the best cat sitter ever. I usually get anxious leaving my guys alone but she’s so attentive and good with them I feel so much better knowing she’s there. She’s attentive and kind, and gives me wonderful updates. She also goes over and beyond, bringing in mail and filling up our bird feeder. Barbara stepped up to take care of our special needs/incontinent cat without any reservations - not something all sitters would do!

I am so happy I found Meowtel. My cat has anxiety issues when left at the kennel and Meowtel was the solution. Barbara followed my instructions to the letter. She took very good care of my cat and everything was so clean when I returned.

Barbara did an amazing job with our cat Raven. She sent pictures and updates during every visit and kept our little guy company and played with him a lot. She was very careful when entering and leaving because he likes to sneak out. We will definitely be hiring Barbara again, thank you for doing such a great job!

I found Meowtel as a last minute pet sitting company as our previous cat sitter no longer serviced our area. I was very impressed with how quickly I received a response from the company representative. Very professional pet sitting service. You won’t be disappointed if you choose them.

Barbara is a phenomenal cat sitter! She was quick to responded to all messages, left detailed updates and even brought in our mail while we were away (one of our mail arrivals was car tires!!!). At our first meeting, our cats took to her right away and she was warm and friendly. She will be my go to cat sitter from now on. We loved her.💜

Barbara is incredible! I have been really nervous about leaving my cats before as we have one with particularly special needs, but knowing Barbara was taking care of them took all that away. Barbara always goes above and beyond and was 100% willing to tackle our cats' needs. She sends great updates and our cats love her (even the really shy one). We have been so lucky to have her!

Barbara took care of our little fur babies for a week, we have high maintenance cats who are used to being fed 3 times a day and she took care of them really well during our entire vacation! I highly recommend her and look forward to working with her in the future!

Frequently Asked Questions

Woodbridge cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $24.00. 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.
