I'm Kayla | Cat Sitting in Alameda, CA
Hi! I'm Kayla! They say if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life. I can say with certainty that I love being a professional cat sitter! I've been a cat admirer my whole life, and getting to care for cats as my job is a dream come true. I grew up in a home with many loveable cats (along with a menagerie of other pets)! I have lots of experience caring for cats of all ages and temperaments. I love to get to know their individual needs, quirks and personalities. My two cats, Moosie and Beanie, are my favorite little buddies. They love to "help me" with my other job as a graphic designer. Moosie has even starred in some of my creations! In order to best the care for my kitty clients, I recently became Pet First-Aid certified (including Pet CPR) through the American Red Cross program. I have personal experience with giving cats pills, eye drops, and ointments, as well as caring for picky eaters, and shy friends. I have plenty of experience introducing myself to new pets, and I'm very sensitive to their need for space and respect. I know everyone is uniq...

Kayla's Reviews
Jen
Kayla is fantastic. I can’t say enough about her, highly recommend.
Nicola
Kayla was a great cat sitter! We have three, an elderly guy who needs insulin injections, a shy lady and a young and boisterous fella, and they all really loved Kayla! She was great about giving us updates throughout our time away over the holidays. We'd recommend to anyone looking for a kind and responsible cat sitter!

Jerry
Kayla did a wonderful job taking care of Gracie. Was very impressed with how she communicated with us regarding her visits. She provided great service and would recommend her to anyone looking for quality pet care. Thank you Kayla👍👍👍
Colleen
We always have Kayla sit for our two kitties. She is very intuitive and doesn't push them. We have one shy girl and one wild sister and they both play with Kayla who also takes great pics so we know they are thriving when we aren't there. So grateful to be able to leave these two in great hands!

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 $42.00. 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.
