    They price ***** on holidays, and they apply it to every definition of federal holidays, regardless of the actual holiday observance preferences of the sitters themselves, which is the logical use for holiday upcharges. When I used it for a holiday, I also didn't get a picture as requested the morning of the holiday, like I did every other visit, so I doubt they even showed up.Ultimately if you don't care about price at all it's probably fine, just use cameras to make sure they do what they say (which I do now). If price is an issue beware, as they leverage holidays and variable upcharge rates between different clients to ***** their customers.

    Hi ****,Thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate the opportunity to clarify how holiday pricing works on our platform.Sitters with Meowtel are independent contractors who set their own rates for services, including the option to apply a holiday surcharge as well as the percentage for that surcharge should they choose to implement one. This allows them to manage their schedules and availability, especially during high-demand times such as federal holidays. The surcharge can vary between sitters, and this information is always available in the pricing section of their profiles for transparency.For reference, we define holiday pricing windows as 3 days before and 3 days after a federal holiday to accommodate the increased demand many sitters experience during these periods. Customers have the flexibility to choose sitters based on their pricing preferences, and we encourage you to review the sitters profiles in your area to find the best fit for your needs.As for your concern about not receiving a photo on the morning of your holiday visit, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or concern this may have caused, as an update should be sent for every visit. Rest assured, were always here to help whenever any concerns arise, and we will investigate when complaints are brought to us.If you feel a sitter may not have fulfilled your expectations, please reach out to us as soon as possible, and we will ask for documentation from both parties to ensure a fair resolution. You may learn more about our complaint escalation process here - ****************************************************************************************** We value your business, ****, and appreciate the opportunity to assist you with any future bookings or concerns. Please don't hesitate to reach out if we may be of any further assistance.

    As a devoted pet parent, entrusting your feline friend into the care of another person can be a daunting task. However, when I discovered ****, I found not just a cat sitter, but a true gem in the realm of pet care. ****'s services are nothing short of exceptional, and here's why:**** epitomizes reliability. From our initial communication to the end of her services, she demonstrated unwavering commitment and professionalism. She adhered strictly to the agreed-upon schedule, ensuring my cat received consistent care and attention in my absence.Her genuine love for animals shines through in every interaction. **** took the time to understand my cat's unique personality, preferences, and ******. She provided personalized care, ensuring my cat felt comfortable and loved while I was away. It was evident that **** wasn't just fulfilling a job but nurturing a bond with my furry companion.****'s attention to detail is unparalleled. Not only did she meticulously follow the feeding and medication instructions, but she also went above and beyond to engage my cat in enriching activities. From interactive playtime to cozy cuddles, **** ensured my cat's well-being on every level.Communication is key when entrusting someone with your pet, and **** excels in this aspect. She maintained open lines of communication throughout her services, providing regular updates and photos of my cat. It was incredibly reassuring to receive these updates, knowing that my cat was in safe and caring hands.In conclusion, **** is not just a cat sitter; she's a guardian ***** for our furry friends. Her professionalism, compassion, and reliability make her a standout choice for anyone seeking top-notch pet care. I wholeheartedly recommend **** to any pet owner looking for the best possible care for their beloved companions. The link to book **** in the ****** area is below.***********************************************************************************

    Had to cancel due to my airline cancelation of flights because of weather. I canceled within the 48 hour period and was not given a credit or refund. Will not ever use this service again. I'm out ****** for circumstances I cannot control.

    Hi there, *****! Thank you for the review. We just left you a voicemail but we see that your upcoming reservation had to be canceled due to travel issues and your sitter kindly overrode the Cancellation Policy so that the value of the reservation was credited back in full to your Meowtel Account on Tuesday December 27th. Did you need any further assistance with this credit/refund? We would be happy to help. Please email us at [email protected] or give us a call at **************. Thank mew and happy pawlidays!

    I felt good about leaving my fur babies with *****. The app made it easy to send and receive messages. I felt like the info provided about the sitter made the choice easy. I was able to build rapport very quickly. Will be using the app and ***** for my next trip!

    I am glad I found Meowtel. I was lucky to find a very reliable sitter in the area for my kitty, especially when it is hard to find boarding that focuses on cats only.Reserving and payment online was easy. My sitter was wonderful! She kept me updated everyday while we were out of town. I would highly recommend this service.

    What a great experience. I love this company. They are very selective with their sitters and have an app that is user friendly. I prefer them to River. My sitter was well qualified and very responsive. I chose Meowtel over other popular pet sitting services because they specialize in cats and I was going to be out of the country. **** went the extra mile to communicate with me despite the time difference. I will use them again.

    We've had ******* watch our ******** Boys twice now and she's awesome. ******* is extremely thorough but still manages to go above and beyond. I feel very confident using Meowtel because of all the built-in assurances. The fur baby watchers are vetted and insured and the added reassurance of them being able to take your babies to the vet is welcomed. The app is top notch, gotta love technology being used so efficiently and effectively...for those non-tech, it's super easy! We'll definitely continue to use Meowtel and meow the praises of it to all those with fur babies needing a caring and competent person to watch over them in your stead.
