My name is Clarissa. I have had cats for over 20 years, and I love taking care of them. Throughout my cat owning journey, I have also taken care of many friend’s cats while they’ve been away. I am well-skilled in feline medication administration after owning cats with various medical needs. I look forward to working with you to care for your cat! I prioritize punctuality, respect, and compassion. Cats deserve the best care. As a nurse of eight years and a current graduate nurse anesthetist student, I am professional and diligent. I am excited to provide my services for you 😃

Learn More About Clarissa

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I have a kitty named Meeko. She is named after the raccoon in Pocahontas. She is full of spunk and energy and is very food-motivated, much like her namesake. After a rough start to life (rescued from a dumpster with her tail frostbitten and eventually amputated) she hasn’t let it slow her down one bit!

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

After having cats who are absolute escape artists, I am well-versed in sneaky cats who try to leave or get out! I take precautions by entering/exiting quickly and confirming the whereabouts of the cat(s) prior to leaving. I always lock the doors, even while in my own home. Safety of your space (and your best furry friends!) is of the utmost importance to me.

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

My previous two cats were rescued from a barn and were totally feral. I worked with them over the course of many months to gain their trust. Letting them make the first move, not invading their personal space, and being patient were the key factors. I believe animals know when we respect their boundaries. Just as we respect the boundaries of other people, animals deserve that as well. I would take my time and not push a cat to be “friendly”.

Frequently Asked Questions

Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:

More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.
Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.

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.

Verona 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!
