I’ve lived with cats for the majority of my life and currently share my home with 5 wonderful cats of my own. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your pet, and my goal is to make sure your cat feels happy, safe, and completely at ease while you’re away. From personal experience I have a particular passion for caring for senior cats and cats with disabilities, understanding their unique routines, medical needs, and the extra patience they deserve. Every cat has their own personality, and when yours is in my care, they’re treated like family.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have five cats: Marlin, long hair grey tabby, I found him outside taped up in a box and bottle fed him. He has CH or is a “wobbly cat” and I’m so proud of how he’s adapted. Then There’s Pooh bear, who has FIV and takes medication daily, but he is the happiest cat when someone’s in the kitchen. Ziggy is a black shorthair with amazing amounts of energy. Shark is a grey tabby who is the most agreeable and carefree kitty in the house. And lastly Puma, another tabby that chose our porch as her home. I feed and spend time with her every day.

What is your favorite cat toy?

“Da Bird” feather cat toy has never failed to excite. Every cat I’ve spent time with goes after it. Combined with a play tunnel, it’s game over for those feathers.

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

With timid or anxious cats, I let them set the pace because to them, I’m a stranger. I never force interaction. instead, I give them space to observe and come to me on their own terms. I speak softly, move slowly, and keep their environment as calm and consistent as possible. Having 5 cats of my own, I’ve learned to read subtle body language and recognize when a cat needs quiet company versus alone time.

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.

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 $39.00. 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!
