High Quality Cat Care

Love that there is a high quality pet-sitting service dedicated specifically to felines, with sitters who are fully vetted and background checked and who specialize in the art of cat-care. The best cat-caregivers possess a combo of skills and traits that cater to cats’ unique sensibilities (including a calm, patient demeanor) with the ability to gain their trust and put both felines and their humans at ease…as a cat-mom, communication is key when I’m away so knowing you can count on updates with pictures / videos during each visit goes a long way. Meowtel sitters are held to a very high standard in order to maintain a 5-star rating, and you can read reviews from each sitter’s previous clients to get an even better sense of the quality of care you can expect to receive. They have a genuine love of felines, are detail-oriented, possess a high level of emotional intelligence and an innate ability to read feline body language and behavioral cues, with years of hands-on experience. Would highly recommend.

Meows to you, etd21! Thanks so much for this meowvelous review and you sure nailed it: catering to each kitty and bringing the feline love to our clients is what our sitters do best. We hope to see you on Meowtel soon!

Trying to be an alternative, but failing

I tags to say, tye good thing about this app is that it inspired me to connect with other local pet sitters and work together , because this is just another exploitative app designed by people who don’t know how to design apps, banking on being the combo McDonalds/Uber of catsitting.
As a sitter…this app takes 30%, which means if you don’t want to drastically underprice/undervalue your labors and experience to get clients through this app, good luck. I’ll stick to my local clients through word of mouth rather than offering poverty level rates to compete with unskilled sitters who are undercutting actual professionals.
The onboarding experience is ridiculous. They want you to give several references, but not personal ones. I gave professional pet sitting references and they asked them questions like “if this person lost your keys, what would they do?” and asked them what else I do for a living…why would a professional client know that???
When it came time for my final zoom onboarding with Meowtel, my attempts to log in got me “host not ready” messages…then I got an auto email saying I wasn’t approved because I didn’t make the meeting. Lololol
If you want a good cat sitter…reach out locally. Talk to your neighbors. If you find someone through this app, they are getting ripped off trying to offer your kitties care. Everyone deserves better than this.

Meow there, dudefloss! We’re sorry that you weren’t selected to join our sitter community. As we mention on our website, we accept less than 10% of our applicants. We will be in touch if we decide to open up applications to 2nd time candidates.

The app takes a large percentage from sitters

The percentage they take from sitters is higher than on other apps. The tier system allows you to make more *WITH THE SAME CLIENT*- you make more if the same person books multiple appointments, from my experience most people go with new sitters each time. As far as I know there is no effort on the side of the app to refer clients back to the same person. I’m sure the app creators would say that it’s likely based on availability, but the app should suggest to client that if you liked the person who cat sit for you before you should message them to see if their availability is flexible. A lot is put on the sitter when they only make their set price for visits, you don’t make anything for corespondents or for initial meet ups(or key hand off and returning). You “make your own prices” but you have to be on par with other sitters on the app, personally I think we are all undercutting ourselves based on the percentage taken out of our pay. Also unless you only want your cat fed and litter cleaned, book more than a 20 minute visit- that is not enough time for every(most) cats to get comfortable enough to play.
