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.

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♥️

Melissa has great cat energy. I feel confident leaving my 4 fur babies with Melissa. She gives me an update after each visit with pictures. I have peace of mind when I'm gone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Waukesha 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 $24.00. 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.
