Cat Sitting in Waukesha, WI

I have grown up with cats and I feel very comfortable taking care of them. My entire family are cat lovers and I have pet-sitted for each of my sisters who have multiple cats with different personalities and different needs. I am very open and flexible to each cat’s needs and understand that some are more trusting than others and some require more time to grow accostumed to new people. I have given oral medications through pill pockets, applied topical medications, and ear drops in the past for other cats. I am also a very clean and organized individual who will respect both your cat’s space and your space as I cat sit. When I start cat sitting for new people, I work best when provided a list of tasks to take care of your cats to refer to as well as a verbal run through of what to expect.

Learn More About Melissa

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been a cat sitter for my family for many years. Both my older sisters have two cats and one sister also has a dog. I do well with a verbal run through of expectations and a written task sheet to refer to when I cat sit. I love doing it whether it’s sitting and cuddling with them, playing, or just letting them stay in their own space.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy meeting new cats and finding ways to get them to trust me or to get out of their shell.

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

About half the time, there is a anxious or timid cat. Usually I will let them come out on their own terms and try to keep a quiet environment so they are not startled. I find those cats do best when there are no sudden movements or sounds.

Medication Experience:

Topical Ointments Eye/Ear Drops Oral Medication / Pills Injections / Diabetic Management

I had to go out of town about a month after my cat had been diagnosed with diabetes. He required injections twice a day. Needless to say, I was worried about leaving him for a few days. Melissa had experience with caring for diabetic cats so that made me feel reassured that he would be fine. She took good care of my sweet boy and provided great communication while I was away! I’ll definitely be using Melissa again in the future.

Not only did Melissa do an excellent job of caring for the cats, she was alert enough to notice a malfunctioning sump pump so we could call in someone to attend to it while we were gone. One of the best cat sitters we have had.

Melissa did a great job with our two kitties. One is diabetic and required insulin twice a day 12 hours apart. We were gone for 19 days and she kept us updated with photos. I highly recommend Melissa♥️

3rd time I had Melissa cat sit for my 4 fur babies. They all know and trust Melissa. I can leave without worry knowing they are being taken care of. Melissa sends pics and video after every visit.

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.

Waukesha 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 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. 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 free Meet & Greet!
