I'm Kayla
Cat Sitting in Alameda, CA
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 am Pet First-Aid certified (including Pet CPR) through the American Red Cross program. I have personal experience with giving cats pills, eye drops, ointments, and insulin injections, as well as caring for picky eaters, and shy friends... Hi! I'm Kayla!

In order to best the care for my kitty clients, I am Pet First-Aid certified (including Pet CPR) through the American Red Cross program. I have personal experience with giving cats pills, eye drops, ointments, and insulin injections, 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 unique, and has their own preferences and timelines when it comes to warming up to new humans.
If you use clicker training with your cat, I'm happy to continue their training while you're away. I clicker train with my little genius, Beanie daily. He loves training time, and it's a great bonding and trust-building experience for us.
For scheduling, if you have specific times of day that you need visits, you can reach out to me before requesting a reservation by using the "Ask a Question" button. I almost certainly will be able to accommodate your needs, but this way we can ensure I have availability at the specific times you need before you send a deposit.
I look forward to building trust both with your cats, and with you! Your space is personal, and I will be as respectful as possible. I am fully COVID-vaccinated, and have received the bivalent COVID-19 booster. I am happy to wear a mask at the meet and greet. Please have a spare key ready for me at the meet and greet, and be ready to walk through your feeding, medication, training, litter and any other special processes. Note: I do not work with indoor/outdoor cats for the safety of your pets and my other clients.
Learn More About Kayla
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been a cat parent my whole life, and have always been a trusted cat sitter among my circle of friends. I started cat sitting professionally in April of 2022, and have never looked back. I have worked with kitties of all different stages of life, personalities, and needs. I love learning about my kitty clients' unique way of moving in this dog-eat-dog world.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Yes, I have two! Beanie and Moosie are both short hair tuxedo cats. They came to us at different times, but now they are brothers through and through. Beanie is a very smart kitty, and can even do tricks like sit, speak and roll over. When he was a kitten, my husband bought him a puzzle feeder saying it would "train his dexterity". It worked very well, and now Beanie can now do practically anything a human toddler can do, including melt your heart. <3 Moosie on the other hand always has the sweetest look of innocent bewilderment in his eyes. He loves to nap in a sunny window and watch the birds with his brother, and loves groomed by his big brother. He is usually the center of attention, and likes to be involved in everything, even if he never knows what exactly is happening
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Read as much as you can on their profile, and send them a message before booking with any questions you may have. Always send a message if your kitties have any special needs.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
When a cat parent reaches out to me, I answer any questions they may have and explain my services. If asked, I make recommendations for their booking to best suit their budget and their kitties' needs. Once the booking is confirmed, I work with them to set up a meet and greet, where I go to their home, learn about their kitties needs, and tell them what they can expect from me during each visit. With all my cat parents, I am in frequent communication throughout the reservation. I send as many photos as the kitty will allow me to take, and send detailed updates about the visit.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I check that each cat parent has filled out the vet release form, and I keep up to date on my American Red Cross Pet CPR license. During visits, I remove any hazardous items I see, such as string or choking hazards. I keep the kitties' space safe and clean. I asses their food intake and litter habits to ensure everything seems normal. Of course I ensure the doors and windows are locked and security is armed. I bring packages in as soon as I see them, and I take note of anything I see around the home that may be of concern. I also keep an eye on any dangerous events happening locally, such as flooding or wildfires. I monitor evacuation maps during these events to ensure clients are safe, and would evacuate them if needed. Lastly, I keep frequent contact with my cat parents.
Are you usually available during holidays?
I am usually available during holidays. For major holidays, I do not offer overnight visits.

Kayla was great! She came for the meet-and-greet and took time to listen carefully and take notes. Luckily my 2 cats were chilling on their pillows so she got to see my super shy one. Unfortunately, he hid under the couch during her visits, but she still sent me pics of him! Kayla has a nice, calm vibe and is clearly a cat lover. She snuggled with my less shy guy and sent lots of pics. There were no issues, and everything was in order when I returned. Booking Kayla will definitely provide you peace of mind that your cats and home are well-cared for.

If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.
Alameda cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $38.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.
Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with 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. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet!

I am 100% at peace wit Kayla at my home while I am away. Thanks so much, Kayla!

This is the 2nd time Kayla has cared for our cats. She did a great job (again!) caring for them. Her communication - from setting up a meet & greet to keeping us posted about the cats while we were out - was excellent. The people-shy senior cat has already decided that she is his new BFF! We would recommend her for other cat owners in the area without hesitation.
Response from Kayla

Kayla is an AMAZING cat sitter. She genuinely cares about her clients and feline charges. She is thoughtful and thorough in her job and provides our cats with much needed stimulation during the time we’re gone. She also understands that one of our cats has medical issues that result in not so pleasant clean up. We also love that she is so close by. If we could give her ten stars, we would!!
Response from Kayla
Spring, thank you for this sweet review! I give Jake, May Hem & Ethel ten stars as well! I already miss their silly antics, and hope to see them again sometime!

She had great communication, listened attentively to our instructions, and kept us updated every step of the way (and sent us adorable pictures of our kitties!). From the meet & greet, it was obvious that our cats loved her and immediately felt comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend Kayla as a cat sitter and hope to continue using her services in the future.

Kayla was amazing! So communicative and quick to respond. She was able to help us out last minute, came for a meet and great only a few hours after we reached out, and truly made our trip away possible. We loved receiving photos and notes after each of her visits. She not only fed and played with our cats, but fed our fish and brought in mail that arrived. Peace of mind does not have a price…except when it’s for Kayla’s services. Worth every cent! Not only are we thrilled, the cats loved her too. We look forward to hiring Kayla again in the future!

Kayla was wonderful! I was in a last minute bind and both my furr girls and I were rescued by Kayla. She asked so many questions at our meet and greet, she took extensive notes and she understood how important my girls are to me. On her first day she sent me notification of her arrival and how she spent her time with the girls. She was very consistent with coming around the same time of day and every day I got updates and pictures! If your furr babies are as important to you as mine are to me, I highly recommend Kayla.
Elizabeth

Kayla was a wonderful cat sitter for my two cats. She was prompt to confirm in the app, and scheduled a meeting about a week from the vacation start date (so the setup would be current). When we went on vacation, she arrived promptly to take care of the house and the cats. After each visit, we got some super-sweet photos and videos - and she even managed to capture black cats! The cats were so well cared-for that when we got back, they didn't immediately mob us for food. I would not hesitate to book a stay with Kayla again.
Keika

Kayla is simply amazing. We were away on a one week trip and had a couple of kittens to watch overnight and she took care of them like they were her own. She kept us up to date twice a day not only with a short report but also with plenty of photos and videos. Kayla is also super organized and on top of it and won’t miss a thing. Look not further, she’s your ideal catsitter!

Thank you so much for the kind review, Jessica! I really appreciate it, and I love caring for your sweeties!

Kayla is out go-to for when we're out of town. Our kitties adore her, and we love her updates and attention to detail! She's seriously the best.

Always great with my two...they love Kayla, and my shy cat is a hard sell with a lot of people. Kayla sends lots of pics and writes to tell us what they are up to. It makes leaving manageable and they love playtime with her!

Kayla was professional, responsive, caring, responsible. I trusted her immediately at our first meeting, and she went out of her way to care for the cats, including playing with them, and being flexible with her schedule to ensure adequate coverage while I was gone. Five stars without hesitation! I would absolutely work with Kayla again.
Response from Kayla
Thank you Mary! It was an absolute pleasure working with you and spending time with your sweet kitties 😻 I hope to see you and them again in the future!

Kayla is the best cat sitter we have had watch our cats. She knows how to tune into the kitties wave length’s and handle them accordingly. Kitties are all different (as we know) and her knack for becoming friends with them is wonderful. Kayla is kind woman and knows how to be responsive to owners needs. I would totally recommend her.

Kayla is a kitty charmer and is so good with my two cats, one crazy active and one a bit shy. she takes time with each, knows their likes and is patient. Tailoring perfect playtime for both. They love her and we love the pics and videos and seeing they are well cared for while we are away. She's the best.

Kayla is fantastic with our two kitty teenagers. One is shy the other is a ball of energy. she adjusts accordingly and both kitties love her. it's comforting to see pictures and videos, ears and tails in a relaxed state and seeing them actively play. Kayla is simply the cat whisperer. She's a gem!

This is the 3rd time Kayla has sat for my 2 rescues. The girls love Kayla, even my shy kitty. Kayla is indeed the cat whisperer. I get plenty of updates, adorable pics and videos of the girls enjoying playing with their friend. She is exceptionally detailed and is a dream. Best sitter we've ever had!

Thank you Colleen! I always love visiting with my favorite little twins! 😻

This is one of the most down-to-earth ladies on the planet! Perhaps a Mary Poppins for felines? Knows cats big time...all their quirky behaviors and will likely bond with even the most savage of beasts. I'd hire her in a heartbeat on my next venture out of town. Please consider hiring her on your next venture out too....

We found Kayla very quickly when prior plans fell through close to a planned trip. Kayla is everything you could ask for in a sitter. We felt great after the meet and greet and our minds were at ease when we saw pics and videos come through. We have one outgoing sister and one shy and in a couple visits she had them both playing. Never had we had a sitter who was clearly this great with cats. Everything was done and when the keys were dropped she brought over 2 little mouse toys. Our kitties loved their new friend Kayla and we would 1000% use her again!
