I'm Jazz | Cat Sitting in Berkeley, CA

Welcome to the Cats With Jazz family! My name is Jazz, and I’m delighted to introduce myself as your dedicated cat sitter. As the proud cat mom of three rescues—Biggie, Sweetie, and Dottie—my life has always revolved around cats. My journey started at the age of 5 when I rescued my first cat, Stripie, and ever since then, my love for cats has only grown stronger. From bottle-feeding neonatal kittens to gently coaxing semi-feral cats to trust, I’ve had the privilege of working with cats from all walks of life. My volunteer work with local rescues has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and a whole lot of cuddles! Plus, I’m certified in Feline CPR and First Aid, and a proud member of both NAPPS and Pet Sitters International. I am currently training to become a Fear Free ...

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

While I've been caring for cats for over 17 years, August 2021 marked a turning point—I transformed my love for cats into a fulfilling profession. With a lifelong bond with cats and diverse experience in their various life stages and medical needs, I bring a wealth of knowledge. I have owned cats since the age of 5, and have cared for hundreds. From personal ownership to collaborations with rescues, your cats are entrusted to capable and caring hands. I will treat your cats with the same love and care as if they' are my own, while also respecting and caring for them as your cherished companions.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love connecting with fellow cat lovers, forging special bonds with them and their kitties, and providing support to cats in need. Since starting my journey as a professional cat sitter, the Cats With Jazz family has flourished. The community of cat owners, lovers, and enthusiasts we've cultivated fills my heart with gratitude and joy. I look forward to welcoming more cats and their owners into this warm circle in the future! Serving you and your cats is a true privilege, and I'm sincerely thankful for the trust you place in me for their love and care.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I was fortunate to take care of 19-year-old Liem, who is one of the sweetest seniors that I've been privileged to care for. Liem had severe CKD and needed to be closely monitored to ensure he was eating, drinking, and using the litter box daily. Despite the difficulty behind health issues, he was a simple cat who loved simple things. He and I would spend hours in his backyard together, watching hummingbirds fly through flowers and trees while the sun rose and set. When he was tired, he'd sleep in my lap or on my chest. He passed in January 2022, though I still think of him every day and cherish those moments.

I feel lucky that I found Jazz. I totally trust her and my kitties really love her. Even my super shy kitty that only comes out for me. He comes right up to her! She’s great!

Ryan

Jazz is truly the best, she’s a consummate professional and we always feel comfortable leaving our cat in her care. She always sends the best detailed updates with cute photos to make being away from our kitten less terrible. She really spoils our cat with love and top notch playtime. Would recommend her 100%.

Jazz was the absolute best we could have asked for. Reliable, responsive, and extremely easy to work with. Plus our cats loved her! We will definitely be booking Jazz again.

Wes

This was our first time using Jazz and she was excellent. Extremely detailed, took notes and asked questions on care for which I would've forgot to tell her. Great communication and updates with very cute pictures. Our cat Mo is extremely shy with new people and will never walk up let alone get close to someone he doesn't know. On the 1st meeting Mo walked up to Jazz, I was quite amazed. She was even able to play with him with his toys during her visits. I highly recommend Jazz and hope she will be available during our next vacation.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

If you are not fully satisfied with your sitter after the Meet & Greet or during the reservation, please call 1-844-636-9835 so we can help you re-book with a new sitter to ensure we can deliver on our purrfect hospitality promise.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $44.00. 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.
