Cat’s Meow Cat Sitting 

How many visits should I schedule daily for cat care?

1-2 visits daily, depending on your unique needs and situation.

What are your rates?

Rates are typically between $15 - $30 a visit depending on travel distance, number of cats, what’s required, if medication is required, etc.

How far in advance should the initial “meet and greet” with new clients and kitties be scheduled?

I recommend scheduling asap so we have an established relationship for when your travel needs arise. 

What can I expect during the cat sitter’s daily visits?

Bowls are cleaned, fresh water and food given, and litter boxes are scooped. Brushing, playtime, and lots of TLC. Mail is collected and packages are brought inside. Garbage will be taken out. Watering household plants if requested. I am happy to discuss other needs you may have.
