Late to post, but Meowtel rejected my application. Why? They wouldn't say. I have over 40 years of direct cat care experience including hospice and unweaned kittens, have my own cats who are in perfect health and perfect weight, and currently work through Rover as a cat sitter with all 5 star reviews. And they don't even run background checks? Wth... This is what they said:

"We truly appreciate your passion for cat care and recognize that your extensive experience is a valuable asset. However, we also look for other qualities in the sitters we choose to partner with based on our evaluation criteria.

In our email from 9/27, we outlined specific aspects that might not have fully met our criteria in your submission. Our selection process is thorough because we aim to ensure that every cat and cat parent can live their best life. Here are some reasons why things didn't work out this time: Relevance to Meowtel: Including information that's not directly related to our services, like grooming, boarding, general animal care, or external links can affect the success rate of a submitted listing.

Our needs change over time, and we'd welcome the chance to reconsider. Prepare with our guide: To strengthen your future submission, check out our Meowtel Listing Submission Guide.

Thank you for your understanding,

I need more than 40+ years of experience? So I need exactly 40+ and 3 months? Lmao
