Meow! How Can We Help?
Sitter
Community – 4 questions answered
Yes—but only to other Meowtel sitters.
Our customers choose Meowtel for the trust and safety our community offers. Breaking that trust does not support the Meowtel mission of helping every cat and cat parent live their best life. Because Meowtel sitters are vetted and insured, referring clients to anyone outside of Meowtel (friends, Instagram sitters, or other websites) violates our Terms of Service and will result in account deactivation.
Successful Meowttel sitters build strong connections with other Meowtel in their area to ensure they have a reliable backup when unavailable. Not only does this help your clients, but it also boosts your business—those sitters will likely return the favor!
Our Recommendations for Purrfect Responses:
- “I apologize - I'm fully booked, but Rebecca is available and she’s great! Here’s her Meowtel profile: [link].”
- “I’ve personally used Meowtel sitters Maria and Tom for my kitties—they’re amazing! Search my zip code (11221) on Meowtel to find them.”
- “I’m so sorry I'm not able to accommodate your reservation, but Meowtel Bellhop can help you find another great sitter!"
Not-So-Purrfect Responses:
- “I’m booked, but check out my friend @catluvr546394 on Instagram!”
- “Maybe you can try dallascatboarding.com instead.”
- “My friend Tina is great with cats! Here’s her phone number and email.”
Bottom line: Only Meowtel sitters meet our trust and safety standards. Keep referrals in the Meowtel family.
Yes!
