Meowtel is by far the best cat sitting service. After using other apps, I've found the most respectful and trustworthy cat sitter through Meowtel that I hire over and over again. The expertise and quality are far above the other competitors and I always feel comfortable leaving my pets with my Meowtel sitters. Plus I always get cute pictures!
Love having a pet sitting service dedicated to cats! I've found the most wonderful cat sitter through Meowtel and have absolutely peace of mind that they care for my cats like they were their own. The app is easy to use and I appreciate that they continue to make upgrades as well.
As we celebrate the season of giving, it's important to remember cats in shelters still waiting for their forever homes. Winter can be one of the hardest times for homeless animals, but with your help, it can become a little warmer and brighter.
Traveling or staying home this holiday season, it's a meaningful time to support your local feline community. Donations, volunteer hours, Christmas and New Year's cat care, fostering, or even sharing adoptable cat profiles online, all of it can make a life-changing difference for a cat in need.
Harsh weather and holiday distractions mean shelters see more intakes and fewer adoptions. Donating, volunteering, or fostering now can literally save lives and bring hope into the New Year.
Here are just a few reputable and impactful cat rescue organizations doing incredible work around the U.S.
There's no better time to spread compassion. Fostering a kitten, donating supplies, or volunteering a few hours; every act of kindness can light up a cat's life.

Yes, cat sitting is available over Christmas and New Year's Eve! However, these are high-demand holidays, so we highly encourage early booking to secure your sitter. Many sitters will have limited availability, so booking in advance ensures your cat receives the care they need over the holidays.
Yes, holiday rates may apply for Christmas & NYE, as they are highly demanded dates. Sitters set their own holiday surcharge percentage, which automatically applies starting 3 days before the holiday, on the day of, and up to 3 days after. This helps compensate sitters for working during peak times. Be sure to check your sitter's profile for specific pricing details related to Christmas & NYE bookings.

Christmas and New Year's Eve are popular travel times, so we recommend booking as soon as possible to secure your sitter.

Due to high demand during Christmas and New Year's Eve, Meowtel sitters have the option to set their own holiday price increase, which can be found in the rates section of their profiles. If your reservation falls within three (3) days before and/or after Christmas or New Year's Eve, or on the holiday itself, a holiday surcharge, determined by your sitter, will be added to your reservation. This surcharge applies to Christmas, New Year's Eve, and other major federal holidays. The exact surcharge is determined by the sitter and will be reflected in their profile.
Christmas and New Year's visits include all the core services you'd expect: feeding, water refreshment, litter scooping, playtime, medication administration if applicable, and providing text updates with photos or videos. Your sitter will ensure your cat is well cared for while you're away!
For a long holiday weekend away, both drop-in visits and overnight stays are great options. If your cat is independent and doesn't need constant attention, drop-in visits may be the best choice. However, if your cat enjoys more companionship or requires extra care, medication, or attention, an overnight stay will provide more continuous care and comfort.
If your travel plans change, you can submit modification requests directly to your sitter. To modify a confirmed reservation, such as adding/removing visits or adjusting durations, log into your Meowtel account, go to My Reservations (or "Reservations" in the app), click on Details, and select Modify Reservation to submit your changes.
