I'm Kate | Cat Sitting in Aptos, CA

Aloha! My name’s Kate and I’m a lifelong lover of all things cat! I adore their curiosity and independence. They have personalities all their own, and I respect that they might not always be open to physical touch. I have always made an effort to read their body language and wait for their cues before going in for the snuggles. My family often called me the cat whisperer, as the majority of them seem to warm up fairly easily to me. I’m the girl at the party petting the kitty outside or trying to “pss pss pss” strays and community cats. I have a special feline familiar of my own named The Babe. She is nearly eleven and is a little bit lazy these days. So much so that I’ve considered getting another kitty that might like to play a little more often. Alas, she is a “one cat” cat. So this is an amazing opportunity for me to get out some of my kitty fever! I’m a stay at home mom most o...

Everything went smoothly with consistent updates on each visit. Kate allowed my shy guy to warm up to her and he became clearly more comfortable after a few visits. I felt good knowing that Louie was being well cared for.

Kate was an absolute dream to work with. She paid attention to our senior girl, gave her plenty of pets and took care of her needs just as if she were her own kitty. She even cleaned up a few “accidents” outside the litter box. we really appreciated all the photos (we got at least 5 for every visit) and detailed updates each time Kate stopped by. We were nervous since we had never used a sitter before, but Kate is awesome and a total pro. She put our minds at ease and we didn’t worry about our kitty at all. 12/10 would recommend! 😽

Frequently Asked Questions

The average price for a cat sitter is $36.00.

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.
