Your Cat’s New Favorite Sitter
I am a cat-only, in-home care specialist. I’ve been caring for pets for over 15 years, starting as a kid and continuing through friends, family, neighbors, and private clients. While I have experience with both cats and dogs, I’m now focusing exclusively on cat care so I can give feline clients the specialized attention they deserve. Cats have always been a big part of my life, including my own cat, Camille. I understand that every cat has a unique personality; whether they’re playful, shy, anxious, independent, or seniors who prefer a calm routine. I’m patient, observant, and respectful of boundaries, which helps cats feel safe and comfortable while their humans are away. I believe cats are more than just animals - they're family. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent, attentive care and notice small changes in behavior, appetite, or mood. I’m especially comfortable caring for adult and senior cats, maintaining routines, and making sure your cat feels relaxed, secure, and well-loved in their own space. *Key Handling* Please either provide the keys at the meet & greet, place them in a secure lockbox or other accessible location at your home with access instructions, or drop them off to me before the booking begins.

Safety, trust & environment
I focus on caring for cats in their own home whenever possible, since familiar surroundings help reduce stress. I take time to learn each cat’s routine, preferences, and boundaries, and I always move at their pace to build trust. Safety is a top priority. I double-check doors and windows, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and keep litter areas clean and tidy. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or litter habits, and I communicate updates promptly so you always know how your cat is doing. Because I work from home, I’m reliable, responsive, and able to provide consistent care and timely visits. I treat every home with respect and care, and I make sure your cat feels secure, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
Megan took great care of Eloise while I was away! It gave me real peace of mind to know that Eloise had someone so attentive looking after her. Eloise can sometimes be apprehensive of new people, but I could tell Megan was great with cats when Eloise went right up to her for pets. I highly recommend Megan for all your cat-sitting needs. Thank you Megan!
Megan was very skillful with my shy, elderly cat.
Great experience, very friendly and my cats loved her
My cat was in great hands when I had to travel for work. Megan provided frequent and detailed updates, along with several pictures. My pet got a lot of attention and playtime as well. Thanks, Megan!
Megan is super easy to communicate with and is very responsive! Would highly recommend.
Megan did a great job with my two cats! They had great things to say about her when I got home, and they were happy and healthy boys. Megan was communicative, quick to respond, and made sure I had photo updates.

Schedule
I’m completing my doctoral degree and working part-time, which allows me a flexible schedule and the ability to prioritize consistent, low-stress care for cats. I plan visits around each cat’s routine and needs. Availability may vary, so feel free to check my calendar or message me with any questions.
- CatsMegan can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- Before caring for your cat, I like to learn about their daily routine, feeding schedule, litter habits, and any medications or health considerations. I also appreciate knowing about your cat’s personality, such whether they’re social, shy, playful, or independent, and how they prefer to be interacted with. It’s helpful to know any quirks, stress triggers, hiding spots, or household rules (such as door or window concerns), as well as vet and emergency contact information. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can keep your cat comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine while you’re away.
- These prices are for 1 cat.
