Learn More About Scarlette

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have 25 years experience with cat sitting. I have a lot of friends who utilize me for pet care. Most of them have been on a regular basis the last 6 years. Another positive factor is I can cat sit during any holiday!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Cats are so unique. They all have different personalities and getting to know/ learn each cat is what I enjoy most about cat sitting.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite cat sitting reservation is a cat named Peanut. Peanut is my colleague’s cat and I sit for her at least once a month, overnight. Peanut has a human like personality and I really enjoy giving her love and attention. She is very friendly and talkative.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

The best advice I would give a customer looking to hire is to make sure the sitter checks all your ‘boxes’ and you feel like that person is the best fit for you and your cats.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I am an avid note taker. I always take notes on my clients requests during the interview. I am conscientious and make sure to leave a light on for the cats at night and give them a lot of love and treats as allowed. I always triple check I locked the door and windows etc. I care for the cat as if they were my own.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes I’m absolutely available on holidays, all holidays; all times available. I don’t travel very often so I’m always available.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I have a client who’s cats are very timid and anxious. They hide under blankets when I come check on them. I make sure to give them space and hide treats around the home so they can get used to my scent and know I’m there to take care of them. I also talk very softly and reassuring to them when I am there. I don’t force myself onto them. If they let me get close to them, I will let them smell my hand before I pet them. I only pet them a little bit if they don’t run away from me. If they are too shy and run away, I do not chase them. I also play with/make noise with their toys to ensure them I’m just here to play and that I mean no harm.

I am writing to enthusiastically recommend Scarlette as a cat sitter. She has looked after my cat, on numerous occasions, and I cannot speak highly enough of the care and attention she provides. Scarlette is incredibly attentive and patient. From the very first visit, it was clear that she genuinely loves animals and always puts their well-being first. My cat has hyperthyroidism, which requires him to take medication twice a day. This can be a bit tricky, but Scarlette handles it with calm confidence and a gentle touch. She administers his medication consistently and correctly, and I’ve never once had to worry about whether he’s receiving the care he needs. In addition to managing his medical needs, Scarlette takes excellent care of his environment. She is diligent about cleaning up after him, regularly changes his litter box, and ensures his feeding area stays clean and tidy. She also takes time to give him companionship and affection, which means a lot - especially when I’m away for extended periods. One of the things I appreciate most about Scarlette is her reliability. She communicates clearly and promptly, follows instructions closely, and treats my home with the utmost respect. Every time I return, the house is just as I left it, and my cat is relaxed and happy. Scarlette is trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate - everything you would want in someone caring for your beloved pet. I have complete confidence in her abilities and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and loving pet sitter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Alameda cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $37.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in your sitter before you leave.

Cats are territorial animals and don't do well in new environments. The presence of other cats, dogs, and even birds in kennels or animal hotels cause an immense amount of stress for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
