I'm Rachel | Cat Sitting in Albany, CA

Rachel's Reviews
Caitlin
Another great experience with Rachel! Our kitties love hanging out with her so much! She sends great updates and photos and is super quick to respond. Will be using her again!
Larissa
always makes sure to give each of our 4 cats a little extra love and attention! went above and beyond to sleuth out a very silly cat who we thought escaped (he was hiding)
Caillie
Once again Rachel was exactly what we needed! Her witty updates and attention to detail made me comfortable leaving our cat post-surgery with Rachel.
Larissa
We’ve had Rachel twice and she’s great! Really loves kitties, sends great updates, checks in when she has questions, etc. - no complaints at all :)

Frequently Asked Questions
Albany 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.
