He's great with the cats! He sent pictures of them and made sure they ate. I was amazed that they were OK being out and about while he was there. Usually they hide from people they aren't very familiar with. This was the second time he fed them and took care of the litter boxes and I will definitely request him in the future.

Matthew was great! We had him watch our 2 kitties overnight several nights in a row on pretty short notice. He provided updates and paid attention to all our details. He was very trustworthy, we would book him again!

Matthew was great from the minute we met for the meet and greet through our entire time away. He has great energy and immediately bonded with our cats, even the shy one. He provided daily feedback and pics that helped ease our minds and made us miss them just a little bit less.

Matthew was great with our kitties and additional menagerie. Immediately got down on the floor to be less intimidating to the kitties and was especially patient and gentle with our shy boy. Great communicator and trustworthy caretaker!

Matt got to work right away getting to know my three cats. He also was good at making me feel at ease. It was clear he has many years experience.

Everything went perfectly with Matthew taking care of my shy cat Louie. He communicated well, cleaned up perfectly, and helped my shy kitty feel less alone. I would definitely recommend Matthew.

Frequently Asked Questions

Vancouver cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $26.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
