I'm Karleen | Cat Sitting in Alameda, CA
I love kitties! I love animals, I grew up on a farm with animals of all sizes. Growing up, we lived across the road from my grandparents’ farm. My family always had 2-3 pampered happy cats! They were indoor and outdoor, so I certainly have experience with many medicines and veterinary care. I understand cat instincts and intelligence levels. Cats need play and stimulation, and they are the boss! “You’ve always been a cat person!” My mom said to me recently. My earliest memories are cat snuggles and purrs! As a baby my dad worked night shift and during afternoons we’d nap with Maynard the big grey tabby. Currently I have 2 rescue kitties, Sly my 13 lb boy tabby and Ceci his 10 lb sleek sister. They turned 2 in June. Over the years, ...

I have very difficult cats ranging in age from 1 year to 17. Each of them has wildly different personalities and needs. Karleen is able to give personal attention and follow instructions for each. Thank you, Karl, for being lovingly detail-oriented!!

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 $43.00. 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.
