easy to use, well vetted sitters
I adopted my cats in late 2019, and once the pandemic hit I was basically the only person they knew and they were used to having me around all the time, so four years later when I finally couldn't put off traveling any longer, I was super anxious about leaving them in someone else's care. I stumbled on Meowtel, and found the website easy to use and polished in a way that just made me feel like they knew what they were doing. The sitter profiles and reviews made them feel like real people, and Meowtel's protocol sits in the right place for me between standardized-for-accountability and flexible-for-my-own-needs, whereas a different service I considered had a key protocol that simply wouldn't work for my apartment building. I've hired two sitters through Meowtel, quite different from each other in personality, who were both great with my cats and very responsive with me. I have friends who would cat-sit for me and I get that that works best for plenty of people, but if a new cat owner asked me what they should do the next time they travel I would probably recommend Meowtel.
