Cat Sitting in Middleton, WI

Hi! I'm Diane and I moved to the Madison area in the summer of 2024 for work. I have a cat of my own, Mu, whom I love dearly. Mu traveled home with me from Tanzania after I encountered her as a Peace Corp Volunteer and adopted her while out of the country. Mu and I recently lost Eris... Hi! I'm Diane and I moved to the Madison area in the summer of 2024 for work. I have a cat of my own, Mu, whom I love dearly. Mu traveled home with me from Tanzania after I encountered her as a Peace Corp Volunteer and adopted her while out of the country. Mu and I recently lost Eris to heart failure, so we're still adjusting to a one-cat household. I am so grateful for the people who've been willing to watch and provide care for my cats when I am traveling, and I am here to return the favor to others. I strive to give the care that I would hope for my own cats.

Learn More About Diane

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Every cat I've met has a unique personality, and I love meeting all of the various individuals while cat sitting.

Are you usually available during holidays?

While occasionally traveling myself, I am available during holidays for day visits with enough advanced notice more often than not.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love cat toys that are attached to a string on a stick. Not only are the claws less likely to reach you by accident, but I find it easier to mimic enticing movements of the prey with this type of toy!


Medication Experience:

This is my second time hiring Diane to watch Ruby over the holidays. She is very attentive and cares about the kitties she watches. I’m a paranoid cat parent, but Diane’s care updates kept me at ease. I got lots of cute photos and detailed updates while Diane came to visit Ruby!

I could not recommend Diane more! It was my first small trip away from one of my cats and while I was initially pretty anxious but Diane resolved all my fears. One of my kittens adored her from the start and she was so patient with my kitten who is very suspicious of new friends and by the end of the reservation he was showing her his tummy! She was professional, attentive to their care and different personalities, and sent the best photos! Overall a wonderful experience because of the care she provided!

This was the second time that Diane watched over my cats and it went as amazing as it did the first time! It was clear that they remembered her from her last visits and have accepted her as a part of their little tribe. She is careful to follow care requests, sent detailed updates, and the best photos of them both! While still missing them, I felt comfortable knowing that their care was in her very capable hands. I would highly recommend Diane to anyone in need of a sitter :)

Diane took great care of my 3 kitties. 2 of the kitties are pretty shy but she was able to play and interact with them. She provided detailed daily updates with photos and made me feel at ease that the kitties were well taken care of while I was gone.

Diane was very attentive and caring with my cat Ruby. I’m very glad I booked Diane to watch my kitty while I was away on vacation. The pictures she sent with her daily updates were adorable. I will be booking with Diane again if I ever need a cat sitter in the future!

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.

Middleton cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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!
