  • Cat-first approach: your kitty's comfort, routines, and quirks come first

  • Experienced in giving meds, dealing with shy or anxious kitties

Holiday Cat Sitting FAQs

Yes, many sitters work during holidays, including Thanksgiving, Christmas, and other major holidays. However, because demand is higher during these times, it's important to plan ahead and book early to secure your sitter. Additionally, a holiday surcharge may apply to your reservation, depending on the sitter's preferences and availability. Be sure to check your sitter's profile for any specific fees related to holiday bookings.

Yes, there may be a holiday surcharge for reservations during holidays. This fee helps ensure that our sitters are compensated for working on these special days that are on high demand. The exact percentage can vary depending on the sitter, so be sure to check your sitter's profile for more details.

We recommend booking your holiday visits as early as possible to ensure availability, as sitters often get fully booked during the holidays. Many Meowtel sitters open their calendars at least two to three months in advance, with some even offering availability up to a year ahead. Since demand is very high around holidays and busy travel seasons, booking early ensures you can secure the sitter you want, making the experience smoother for both you and your cat.

Yes, you can book multiple visits over the holidays. Meowtel sitters can accommodate daily visits, overnight stays, or a combination, depending on their availability.

If your sitter has an emergency during the holidays, we will do our best to find a qualified backup sitter for your cat. If a cancellation occurs, please contact Meowtel's support team, and we'll evaluate the situation and do our best to assist you. You can reach us at 1-844-MEOWTEL or via email at [email protected]. We're here to help and ensure your plans go smoothly.

Holiday visits include all the core services you'd expect: feeding, water refreshment, litter scooping, playtime, and providing updates with text and photos, or videos.

Absolutely! We strongly encourage meeting your sitter at your home once the reservation is confirmed on Meowtel, especially if it's during a busy holiday season. This allows you to discuss your cat's specific needs, ask any questions, and ensure you and your cat feel comfortable with your sitter before the holiday visits.
