JOB TITLE:
Support Specialist – Demand (Remote)
ABOUT US:
We’re https://meowtel.com, the #1 cat sitting app in the U. S. , and we’re on a mission to help every cat and cat parent live their best life!
We’re looking for self-motivated, English-fluent Support Specialists to join our Demand team and help us deliver an exceptional experience to every member of our community: sitters, customers, and of course, our kitty clients too!
To support our global team, we are currently focusing on candidates located outside of the United States who are able to work U. S. business hours (5AM-6PM Pacific Time)
We’re a small, dedicated team with a do-er mentality, and most importantly…we love cats!
This role is not your typical customer service position. It requires confident decision-making, excellent written English, strong verbal skills, and the ability to manage complex, emotional scenarios with professionalism and care. You’ll be supporting users during emergencies and high-stress moments – this is a high-trust, high-accountability role.
This contract is initially offered on an 8-week trial basis. Upon successful completion of Meowtel’s training program and the trial period, candidates may be offered a longer-term contract.
ABOUT THE WORK:
We’re a marketplace platform powered by people, so ensuring that we provide excellent and prompt customer support is key to delivering on our Meowtel Promise to our entire community.
This role is fast-paced, requires strong multitasking and documentation skills, and demands comfort navigating difficult or time-sensitive conversations. Clear, confident communication and strong writing skills are a must, as well as a robust ability to adapt and a willingness to continuously learn new things.
We’re a remote-first company, with employees currently spanning the U. S. , Argentina, Mexico, and the Philippines. We collaborate daily via Slack, Zoom, and Google Workspace. Our team values transparency, warmth, resilience, and creative problem solving. Expect lots of cat GIFs, puns, and occasional meowgaritas at our virtual happy hours (“happy meowers”).
WHAT YOU’LL DO HERE:
Support our sitter and cat parent community across multiple channels: email, phone, and live chat
Lead and manage your own support tickets – investigating the issue, communicating with both parties, and documenting the outcome with care
Respond to high-priority issues such as sitter no-shows, last-minute cancelations, cat health concerns, or safety escalations
Demonstrate empathy, discretion, and professionalism during stressful or time-sensitive interactions
Collaborate with other teams to improve internal tools, templates, and workflows
Provide clear and polished written communications that align with Meowtel’s tone
Participate in projects and initiatives related to sitter operations, customer education, and support workflows
ABOUT YOU:
You have at least 1 year of customer support experience and are comfortable handling complex issues (not just password resets)
You are fluent in English, both written and spoken
You’re comfortable on the phone and know how to de-escalate challenging situations
You’re confident using tools like Google Workspace, CRM systems, Slack, Zoom, and virtual phone tools (or can learn quickly)
You’re detail-oriented, quick with documentation, and excellent at prioritizing in real time
You’re self-directed and comfortable working independently
You’re open to feedback and want to grow professionally
You love cats (this is a non-negotiable) and want to help cat lovers (both parents and sitters) feel supported, safe, and heard
