This was the first time our cats were being watched by someone they didn't already know, and I can't begin to say how happy we are that we went with Niki! Our cats, Egg and Gouki, were super content when we got home after our trip. Even our older cat who has struggled with separation on our previous trips was relaxed! Niki left their litter and feeding areas tidy, communicated with us great, and sent us pictures every visit. We missed them a ton on our trip, so it was extra nice to see them getting play and cuddles. It's clear our cats found a sweet and caring friend in Niki! :]

I am so pleased to have found Niki through Meowtel. I was in desperate need to find a new cat sitter after my previous sitter left because my cats were too much to handle. I found Niki on Meowtel, and booked her for my weekend camping trip. She came for our meet and greet, and learned the special feeding tricks that are necessary given how food-driven they are. In the past, my cats would appear to be mad at me, ignore me, and it would take a couple days to get back to their normal routine. This time, with Niki, she reported that all was good, and when I got home, my kitties were friendly, and seemingly happy to hang out with me, as they normally do. It was such a big difference from how it's been in the past, that I feel so relieved to find a new cat sitter who I trust will give them loving attention, and tend to food/water/litter box needs each day. I will hire her again!

I just loved her vibe to start with. She sent me great pics of the cats and the kitties were mellow when I got home. My senior cat got her meds without issue. I’d use Niki again!

Niki is a thoughtful and caring cat sitter. We were grateful we could trust her to administer eye drops and oral medicine to our cat when we were out of town. She has great communication skills and is very trustworthy. We would highly recommend her, especially for cats with special needs.

I can’t recommend Niki highly enough—she is, hands down, the most exceptional pet sitter you could ever hope for. She recently cared for four animals for me (yes, four!): my bunny rabbit, my dog, my cat, and—at the very last minute—my mom added an extra cat to the mix. Niki didn’t miss a beat. She handled it all with grace, love, and the kind of attention to detail that is so rare to find. Each animal received individual care and affection, and it showed. When I returned home, everyone was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. The litter boxes were spotless, the bunny cage was pristine, and my house was cleaner than I left it. Niki not only looked after my pets—she looked after my home and my peace of mind. She truly goes above and beyond, and it’s clear she genuinely loves what she does. I would trust her again in a heartbeat. If you’re lucky enough to book Niki, know your animals (and your home!) are in the best hands possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Berkeley cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, 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. 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.
