Meowtel Reviews 

My wife works for meowtel and she loves the clients she has and they love her. Meowtel as a whole though has huge strides to make, there is 0 vetting process for the customers, anybody can make a profile and put fake pictures and address and have these meowtel employees (usually women) go to these addresses and anything could happen. Also a client can book you with days notice regardless if u have another client booked for the same day, and if u cancel and apologize the same day they try to book in order to give them plenty enough time to book another cat sitter, meowtel gives an automatic 1 or 2 star review to your account basically calling you irresponsible which drops your ratings even with all 5 stars. The employees that work for this place are wonderful, the administration has a lot of work to do to take care of them.

I was very nervous about hiring a stranger to come in my home while I'm out and take care of my two fur babies.

My sitter put me at ease quickly. She sent me videos of her visits which were so reassuring. It was clear they were being well cared for.

I have absolutely zero concerns about trusting my sitter again when I take my next trip. I honestly feel I have struck gold.

Meowtel connected me to a great cat sitter and made everything very easy, from the booking to payment. I'm already a repeat customer!

Edit: even worse, Meowtel is lying saying my flight was canceled 12/23 for weather related reasons when it was canceled 12/25 for staffing issues. I highly recommend avoiding if you want to use a service that is not sketchy. Do not trust this company.

Terrible refund policies. I canceled 48 hours in advance (the evening of 12/25 the second my flight was canceled) and my first booking was for the evening of 12/27. Meowtel said that the 48 hours starts at midnight if the day of the first night and applies to ALL nights on the same reservation (even days 72, 100+ hours out). If you used Meowtel, I hope you have travel insurance because they certainly will not help you.

Jody was wonderful with my fur babies. I felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. The communication is great.

LAUREN WAS OUR FUR-BABIES SITTER FOR A WEEK (1ST TIME THEY HAVE BEEN WITHOUT US). SHE WAS EXCEPTIONAL! SHE KEPT US APPRISED OF THEIR EATING AND BATHROOM HABITS. SHE SAT AND WAITED TO SEE IF THEY WOULD "VISIT" WITH HER. SHE KEPT THEIR FOOD AND POTTY AREAS CLEAN AND APPEALING FOR THEIR USE. WHEN WE GOT HOME, BOBBIE LYNN AND WINSTON WERE EVERY BIT AS NORMAL AS WHEN WE LEFT-IF NOT BETTER. IT IS WONDERFUL TO KNOW THAT WE CAN TRAVEL AND OUR BABIES BE IN EXCELLENT CARE-WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO SO FOR YEARS. GRATEFULLY AND THANKFUL, LARRY AND KATHY

Ruth was amazing, she stayed in consistent contact with us while we were gone and sent pictures every day. She cared for our 4 cats like they were her own. Couldn’t recommend your company and more importantly Ruth more to anyone looking for help with their cats while on vacation.

I have had 3 different Meowtel sitters and each experience has been phenomenal. Everyone I engaged with has had great communication; and taken FABULOUS care of my cat (and even plants when asked). Cannot recommend the service enough. When I got COVID while on a trip they happily continued caring for my cat until my quarantine was over and I could get back home. When I have had to cancel or change plans Meowtel has made it easy. Both the service and the cat caregivers are top notch. I am able to relax and enjoy my time away from home knowing everything is in good hands!

Easy platform for selecting a cat sitter. Opportunity to see the reviews of others. Sign up easy. Process for setting up the engagement is smooth. Prices are reasonable. Sitters do a great job!

Great way to find cat sitters who are very reliable, and helps set you up for a great cat sitting experience.

We paid and scheduled for three days of cat sitting and the sitter canceled with less than a week’s notice because she was “moving.” Like she didn’t know that she’s be unavailable? Our first experience with Meowtel will be our last.

Update, October 30: meowtel was very fast with their refund and offered to help find someone else, but by that point that damage was done.

Don't bother submitting for a profile. I'm a cat expert with glowing reviews from clients and I was rejected with no explanation, and then told I can re-submit after an entire year. My confidence in this company went down to a 1 after that, because if a cat mom of a healthy & active 15 year old cat with no criminal history, perfect driving record, extremely satisfied clients isn't qualified to sit for this company, than I can't imagine who's running this operation.

You'd be better off using a service like "Petbacker" or even Rover over this poorly managed start up. I won't even consider booking a cat sitter from here for my own cat, and I will be discouraging any cat parents I know from this shabby start up.

Meowtel made it easy for me to find a great cat sitter. My sitter communicated well and helped me relax and have a great vacation.

Emily was extremely responsive and wonderful!

I had a great first-time experience with Meowtel. The cat sitter I found was fabulous, and Meowtel was extremely responsive and helped me find a new cat sitter when the first had a medical emergency and couldn't come. Highly recommend.

Had an amazing sitter named Anne. She met with me ahead of time to meet my cat, and she sent pictures/videos while sitting. Anne was very friendly and considerate throughout the whole process. I will definitely use the app again!

I haven't left my 12 year old cub (who has HCM) alone for over three years (hi, pandemic!) My husband and I also rescued and are currently fostering a stray Bengal mix, and I was understandably anxious about leaving both cats for a weekend away. I can't express how grateful I am that we found Rose - she connected with both cats, and was gentle with my 12 year old cub (who was also freaked out that I'd left), and managed to administer his medication and care for both of my babies beautifully. Meeting Rose has definitely been life-changing, as I know I can go on trips when necessary and both fur-babies will be deeply cared for, which means the world to me!

I needed a last minute pet sitting. I found a sitter on Meowtel, and reached out to her. I got a super quick response from a really qualified sitter (Julie's Purrfect Cat Care. She was super easy to work with, communicated during the visit, and sent lots of videos and photos. I will definitely use Meowtel and Julie's Purrfect Cat Care again. Fantastic experience.

I had a very good experience with this company. It was my first time using it and I will use again. Ana did a great job of taking care of our cat and was really good about sending pictures and videos. I appreciate that they are all background checked, bonded and insured.

This is a great service for finding reliable cat sitters. Very easy to use and looks for local people, with trusted reviews. Wonderful experience and will be using again
