Learn More About April
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I enjoy building trust, and connecting through play. I love watching each cat’s personality shine in their nurturing environment.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Yes — I share my life with five amazing kitties!! Bubbachoo, Karrot, Sox, Kit Kat, and Calipurr.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
My process always begins with a complimentary meet-and-greet to get to know both the cat, owner and the home.I I learn about the cat’s routine, medical needs, personality, preferences and basic needs.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I ensure safety by securing the home, following routines, monitoring behavior and keeping emergency contacts readily available in case of emergencies.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Patience and respect are key. I give them their space land let them approach me when ready. I like to play calming cat music to lesson their anxiety. I prioritize play, treats, and CATNIP!

She was great with our cats. April took the time to earn our cats trust. She solved a cat conflict problem over cat litters that we continue to employ. When we got back from our vacation, the cats were calm, not upset with us and not needy. Clearly they got what they needed from April

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!
