Calvin's Reviews
Lindsay
Calvin did an amazing job caring for my two kitties while I was away for a long weekend. In addition to arriving home to two happy, well fed cats and clean litter boxes, I was sent plenty of cute videos and pics as well assuring me they were happy in Calvin’s care (even my shy baby came out from her usual hiding place to play!). would happily hire Calvin again!

Calvin is the “Cats Meow” he is gentle, and kind, he takes beautiful photos of our kitties, and does extra! he is our Cat Daddy when we have to leave our babies, and because of him? I can be relaxed knowing my ba IRS are in the Best hands!! Thank you Meowtel this is the greatest option for pet owners.

Calvin is amazing! My very shy kitty has formed a meaningful bond with Calvin over our last few trips due to their patience, kindness, and giving of lots of love and affection - which is just what my kitty needs to feel confident in our absence. Thank you, Calvin!

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
