Pros

I've been doing this job for almost a year and I haven't had a negative experience, it's a great option if you love cats. Peak times for getting reservations are near major holidays or over the summer months.

Cons

Earnings transfers take forever if you want to avoid fees, especially since there's no direct bank deposit and it has to go through Paypal first. I've also experienced glitches with the app directing an address into Google maps, it tries to send me to a random set of coordinates instead of the correct location. It's better to type the address into maps manually to avoid this.

Pros

Working with animals, which I love

Cons

Absolutely not OK to withhold payment of worked hours, especially with all documentation within the platform with the pet parent harassing and threatening the pet sitter! I will never recommend meowtel ever to anyone pet sitters stick together! I am not the only one who have had similar issues to this!

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're genuinely sorry to hear that your experience with Meowtel was not a positive one. While we cannot discuss the specifics of individual cases publicly, we can share that we take sitter performance and client satisfaction very seriously. Meowtel’s platform exists to support a high standard of care for both our pet parents and sitters, as well as the cats in their care. As outlined in our Terms of Service and Sitter Minimum Standards, earnings may be withheld in rare cases where the level of service provided does not meet our established expectations or when substantiated concerns are raised regarding the quality or completion of care. These standards are in place to protect the integrity of the platform and the well-being of the cats entrusted to our community. We recognize that this situation was disappointing, and we sincerely wish you the best in your future endeavors.
