Learn More About Cailyn

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

I’ve been catsitting with Meowtel for a little over three years. Before that, I have been the go-to pet sitter for my friends and neighbors. I seek to build relationships with both my clients and their humans 😁

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I want to help and make life easier! We all love our pets so much and it’s always stressful to leave them behind. When I’ve had people catsit well for me, it’s such a weight off of my shoulders. It allows me to be fully present in my travels, and I know my cats like making new friends. I want to do the same favor for my community, and getting to pet cats often is an AWESOME perk.

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

I would recommend finding someone who communicates in a similar style to you. Some people like to handle hiring a catsitter like a one-time business transaction, and others want to find someone that they’d like to get to know and have back repeatedly. There’s no wrong way to approach it, but the process is smoother for everyone (cats included!) when communication styles are aligned.

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

I have such a soft spot for shy kitties! When I’m hanging out with them, I meet them where they are. I act and move as a guest in their space, and let them approach me on their own time. I will always make sure to get eyes on every cat during each visit and send photos, even if they’re hiding! After a couple visits, they usually warm up to me. And if not, we coexist peacefully ✌️

Cailyn was so good and patient with our little guy! She had to prepare and give him a pill dispenser filled with 4 pills twice a day and we know that is not an easy task. She was terrific with him and we are looking forward to having her take care of sweet boy this summer.

Cailyn is incredible! She provided hospice care to my sweet cat while I had to be out of town for work. She crushed the pills and mixed it into food, wiped her messy little face, kept the house tidy and gave her lots of pets and love. I am so appreciative that I could rely on Cailyn in this tough time to take great care of my beloved cat Boston. She is wonderful!

Cailyn is an excellent choice for your cat-sitting needs. We got lots of photos and info on our furbaby’s comings and goings, and kept her active. Dee Dee likes to be around people and Cailyn was available to provide that high level of care.

This is our third time using Cailyn for our cat, and we will definitely use her again. She takes great care of our cat, and communicates very well everything going on. We love the updates. I highly recommend her for your kitty.

I'm an anxious person so leaving my cats and home in the hands of a stranger had my hackles up. Cailyn set me at ease. She treated our weirdo cats (who throw up and snarfle) as if they were her own, sent daily 'proof of life' updates, and fended off our hoover eater from our slow, picky eater. Thank you, Cailyn.

Misa

Cailyn did a phenomenal job with my gremlins!! I was very worried for her because as a fellow cat sitter who has probably seen hundreds of cats, my cats are the neediest, loudest, and most destructive beings I know of. However, Cailyn tamed and took great care of the monsters!! She even engineered a method to safely feed these creatures, and successfully took cute pictures of them. I will definitely be booking her again if I have to leave them!!

Cailyn sent adorable updates, which always put my mind at ease. When I returned, my home was spotless, and my three cats were clearly content and well-cared for. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and loving cat sitter. 😊👍

Cailyn was amazing with both cats and left us feeling at ease while on vacation. All of the photos and updates of play time and cuddles assured us that our kitties were doing well and having fun. I can’t recommend having Cailyn take care of your cats, enough! She was amazing.

We were extremely pleased with Cailyn and her excellent care of our kitty. Her daily reports were detailed and very reassuring since this was the first time we’d left our cat for more than one night. We felt confident our cat was in good hands. We’re going to use her again for a trip this summer.

Cailyn exceeded my expectations in watching my little junebug! I’m an anxious pet owner, so leaving for extended periods is hard for me but she was amazing at responding quickly and giving updates on arrival, some pictures and videos, and departure. She also asked some pretty great questions during our meet and greet that I wouldn’t have even thought of! She definitely helped ease my anxiety knowing she gave my furball a ton of love and was being attentive to my requests. I will definitely be hiring her to cat sit again on my next trip!

This was my second time working with Cailyn and it won’t be the last! She shared detailed and prompt updates and was adapatable and commodating. Cailyn dotes on my cat as if she were her own which makes it easier to relax when I’m not home.

Cailyn is amazing! Our beloved Yuki is pretty shy so for Cailyn to have made her feel cozy and relaxed while we were away was simply priceless. Cailyn cared for our tropical plants, kept our place super tidy and sent plenty of detailed messages including photos to completely put us at ease while we were away. I am already planning more trips since I have found a reliable friend for Yuki! Absolutey brilliant!

Cailyn did great with Cowboy! He’s terribly shy and she seemed to help him feel more comfortable while I was gone. She sent lots of updates and pictures, and made sure all of his waters were changed daily and applied a topical medication he needs. Overall highly recommend, cowboy did so well!

Frequently Asked Questions

Astoria cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $34.00. 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.
