The Meowtel cat sitter was great
The Meowtel cat sitter came about 2 weeks ahead of schedule to meet our cat, Puma. We are new to Windsor, CA and have had a lot of workers fixing up our house so our cat has been "traumatized" by the move and all the people. The sitter was very patient, and Puma finally came out of hiding and let her pet him. During our trip the sitter took pictures of Puma. The litter was very clean on arrival back home. I am so happy I found Meowtel as cat sitters are hard to find (in my opion!).

Consistently High-Quality, Reliable Pet-Sitters
We have had two different pet-sitters from Meowtel and both were amazing! They are reliable and very trustworthy, and when they visit they really do take the time to interact with each of our cats. The pictures and videos they send us are heartwarming, too. I love seeing my shy kitty warm up to them and actually PLAY!

Excellent cat sitting caregiver!
This is the first time I used Meowtel.
Our sitter, Lucinda was wonderful and surpassed my expectations. Both of my cats are very shy with people they don't know. Lucinda brought over some of her sweaters before we left so the cats recognized her scent.
Lucinda LOVES cats and this matters! She was so patient and loving with my kitties. Sent me daily photos and updates which meant a lot to me.
And when one of the cats threw up a hairball she kept an eye on their health to make sure it was nothing serious.
Highly recommend Meowtel and Lucinda.

Happy kitties!
Sherrie did a great job with our two kitties! She sent us daily reports with lots of photos and videos. Our oldest cat requires medication every day and she was able to handle that with ease and he can also be a little cranky and he even warmed right up to her.

Meow there, Theresa! We're thrilled to hear Sherrie took such great care of your kitties. It sounds like she earned their trust and yours, and we’re so glad the daily updates brought peace of mind. We look forward to caring for your cats soon!

Meowtel is so convenient! It prevents me from having to board my cats in an unfamiliar place. They are still in their home, and they get a visit every day!

Great Service and Support
Meowtel made it easy to find a cat sitter when I needed it. It's been good to know that there is a team available for support when it is needed. When my primary cat sitter had to tend to an emergency, the Meowtel team was able to step in to help make an alternate booking while I was traveling. Their background checks, meet and greet concept, and the fact that medical information is ready for the cat sitter in case of emergency shows that this service cares about cats.

Excellent service
Excellent service, easy and convenient. As a first time client I used trustpilot and many other reviews sites to see what others were saying before I booked—which is why I’m leaving this review here for others to see, and to give this awesome service a shot. We left for 8 days on a cruise and this was salvation. Our sitter Diane was so caring and went above and beyond for us—we’ll definitely be a repeat client. There are a lot more options for dogs, buts cats need special care. We did not want to it her on a cage for a week in a kennel where she’d barely get 15min with someone while they clean a litter or feed her. Having her stay home, keep her routines, and have the sitter come in was the best option and will continue to be. Highly recommend Meowtel!

Claire was trustworthy and caring
Claire was wonderful; we have a very timid kitty and within a short time, our kitty came out of hiding and observed and accepted treats from Claire. I can trust Claire to go over and beyond the care and commitment to our home and pet. Claire is responsible, responsive, a careful listener, a trusted person; characteristics we find very valuable for someone coming into our home.

100/10 would recommend
I always agonize over leaving my 3 kitties when I travel. 1 of them does not do well with strangers and had been hissing/growling at sitters and not really eating while I’m away. This time, another 1 of my cats was slowly recovering from acute pancreatitis, and I had to travel for business. I did a lot of research and decided to try Meowtel - I am so glad I did. I loved that I was able to read sitter profiles and client reviews. I took my time deciding on a sitter with vet tech experience who could help care for Molly (including administer meds) while she was recovering. We had our meet and greet, and I was immediately relieved - she was so sweet and loving with the animals, and clearly knowledgeable about Molly’s medical needs and medications. She gave me thorough updates with pictures and videos of each visit and I came home after 2 weeks to a clean home with very happy kitties (I think they miss her!).

Meowtel offered easy to book pet sitting at a great price and value
Meowtel offered easy to book pet sitting services and a great pet sitter. The pet sitter I hired was professional, kept my home clean, and took great care of my animals. I got daily messages and pictures of her work. Meowtel also offers great service for the price point. I have hired other companies in the past that were more expensive and did subpar work including endangering some of my aquarium animals. Very happy with Meowtel and looking forward to hiring through them again!

Meow there, Cat mom! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you found the app easy to use and that our team and sitter provided friendly, responsive service. Daily updates and photos are what we’re all about, so glad they helped you relax while away!
Convenient, nicely designed app with available sitters
The app is easy to use, convenient, and we were able to find a friendly, reliable cat sitter on the app for our needs. For these apps to work, it requires sufficient users, which was apparent as we had many sitters to choose from. We appreciated that cat sitters go through a background check, which gave us some peace of mind knowing that they will be entering our home while we're away.

I set my appointment up a month ahead
I set my appointment up a month ahead. Remained in contact with my pet sitter who then canceled 2 weeks prior. Found another sitter who came by and picked up the key ans met our Cat ,got the alarm code for our home.. We arrived in Europe to find multiple messages from our sitter who had a car accident. She was unable to take care of our cat. This has been a nightmare experience. A first time & a last time.
