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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Waukesha cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, 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. Meowtel sitters 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
