Learn More About Liz

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I began cat-sitting for Meowtel during the pandemic, and worked through approximately October of 2023. I took a break to focus on my full-time job at the time, but while at Meowtel, I cared for kitties throughout the Berkeley, Albany and Oakland area. For several years prior to joining Meowtel, I regularly cat-sat for friends in the Bay Area, and still do. While growing up, my family and I had cats who we treated as family. We would do anything for them, and I am still this way toward the kitties I care for.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I just can’t even tell you how much I love cats, so just spending time with them and being with them makes my heart leap with joy. I deal with serious subjects during my full-time job as a therapist, so cat sitting is mutually therapeutic - I take care of them, and they absolutely take care of me :)

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

I would recommend making a point to meet the potential cat-sitter first (either virtually or in-person, ideally), walk them through what your needs are and the important aspects of your home (how to get in, lock-up, etc) and while asking common-sense questions about the cat sitter’s experience, just trust your gut. Ask yourself what vibe you’re getting from this person - are they kind? Gentle? Honest? Skills aside, I would recommend asking yourself if your cat-sitter seems to be a kind and gentle person (who will also remember to lock the door on their way out 😂).

Another wonderful experience with Liz! She was really flexible when our travel plans changed and when I somehow accidentally booked the wrong dates. She is always quick to respond to messages and sends great updates with a lot of pictures. Our kitties had a wonderful time! Will definitely be reaching out to Liz again!

Liz is wonderful! We have 3 cats and were nervous about leaving them. Not only did she take great care of them but she even managed to get photos of all three, even the really timid one who "hides" around strangers. Thanks, Liz!

I know Liz both professionally and through friends who have trusted her with their cats, and I can confidently say she is responsible, respectful, and trustworthy. As a psychotherapist, Liz carries great integrity and professionalism, and she brings that same care and attentiveness to animals. She genuinely loves cats and gives them the thoughtful attention they need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Berkeley cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $37.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
