Cats thrive on routine, even during the holidays.
Whether your cat is playful, shy, or just plain quirky, we've seen (and loved) them all.
Meowtel sitters understand the unique pace and needs of older or special needs cats.
From short duration drop-ins to multi-day overnight stays, our options are built to fit your schedule.
From playful pics and visit updates, we'll keep you connected to your cat while you're away.
The season of gratitude is busy, but we make finding your cat's companion easy.
I love Meowtel and I especially love my cat sitter through Meowtel. Meowtel is easy to use and I can schedule my sitter in advance so I can go on vacation or leave town without worrying. Meowtel sitters tidy up, feed the kitty, and communicate through pics and messages. It's a wonderful service!
Meowtel is always good. Never disappointed, their customer service is friendly and overall wonderful. I always appreciate my cat sitter, Amanda. Lovely caring girl! I trust her 100% and I'm always satisfied.
Thanksgiving is about gratitude, and there's no better way to show it than by supporting cats who need a second chance at love. As shelters gear up for the busy winter months, your help can make all the difference for vulnerable kitties waiting for forever homes.
Traveling or staying local this Thanksgiving, it's a perfect time to support your feline community. Donations, Thanksgiving cat care, volunteer hours, fostering, or even sharing adoptable cat profiles online; all of it helps make a life-changing difference for a cat in need.
Colder weather often brings more intakes and fewer adoptions. Thanksgiving support through donations, volunteering, or fostering gives rescue cats warmth, food, and hope when they need it most. Here are just a few reputable and impactful cat rescue organizations doing incredible work around the U.S.
Whether you're traveling or gathering at home, consider giving back to cats who need a little extra love this season. A small act of kindness can mean the world.
Need a kitty sitter while you celebrate? Meowtel connects you with loving, reliable cat sitters who treat your cat like family, because gratitude should include every member of the household!

Yes, cat sitting is available over Thanksgiving weekend! However, as this is a busy holiday, 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 holiday.
Yes, holiday rates may apply for Thanksgiving Day as it's a highly demanded date. 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 Thanksgiving Day bookings.
While last-minute bookings are sometimes possible, availability may be limited due to high demand. Thanksgiving is a popular travel time, so we recommend booking as soon as possible to secure your sitter. If you need to make a last-minute request, reach out to Meowtel's support team at 1-844-MEOWTEL or [email protected], and we'll do our best to assist you.
Due to high demand during Thanksgiving weekend, 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 Thanksgiving, or on the holiday itself, a holiday surcharge, determined by your sitter, will be added to your reservation. This surcharge applies to Thanksgiving and other major federal holidays. The exact surcharge is determined by the sitter and will be reflected in their profile.
Thanksgiving 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 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 or medication, an overnight stay will provide more adequate attention 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.
