My cats are a Halloween pair and polar opposites, I am often cuddling my orange boy and playing fetch with my void. I would love to drop in on your babies and give you peace of mild while you are gone. I am Happy to play, cuddle or give your cat their space. I find great comfort knowing my cats are in good care and hope to give you the same peace of mind. My passion and care for your pets will be like no other! I’m a book lover, coffee lover and semi-retired theatre kid (so your babies might get to hear me sing and be silly while we play.)

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have2, Binnie and Jean! They are both 1-2 years old and full of life. My college roommate still has our baby Morgana, and I love seeing her whenever I can!

What is your favorite cat toy?

I’m partial to the felt mice, as they are one of my kitties favorites. The other enjoyes the spring toys and those are fun to toss during games of fetch.

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

I’ll let them come to me, and build trust over time. It’s all about respecting their boundaries and letting them come to you

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.

If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.

Madison cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $23.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a 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 Meet & Greet!
