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

I’ve been caring for cats for over 18 years, but in August 2021, I made the decision to turn my lifelong passion into a full-time profession. Since then, I’ve been operating Cats With Jazz, LLC, where I focus exclusively on providing exceptional care to cats in the San Francisco Bay Area. Throughout my life, I've had the privilege of owning and fostering cats, each with unique needs and personalities. I’ve cared for hundreds of cats, from playful kittens to special-needs seniors. My experience spans everything from administering medication to managing complex behavioral challenges, and I continually pursue education to stay updated on the latest in feline care. Your cats will always be treated like family—each visit is tailored to their needs, ensuring they receive the love and care they deserve, just like my own kitties.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love the lifelong connections I build with both the cats and their owners. It’s truly fulfilling to get to know each cat’s unique personality, whether they're playful, shy, or in need of special care. I take pride in being there for your cat during visits and beyond, offering support through follow-up communication, staying in touch on social media, or even a phone call just to check in. Being part of your cat’s care team and building trust with you is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work. I’m honored to offer peace of mind and be a reliable resource for both your cats’ well-being and your own. The relationships I’ve developed with both cats and their families are something I deeply cherish, and I look forward to continuing to serve with love and dedication.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

One of my most memorable cat-sitting experiences was with Liem, a 19-year-old senior cat who captured my heart. Liem had severe CKD, and his care required close attention to ensure he was eating, drinking, and using the litter box regularly. Despite his health challenges, he was a calm and simple cat who loved life’s little joys. We spent many peaceful hours in his backyard, watching the hummingbirds flit through the flowers and trees as the sun rose and set. When he was ready to rest, he would curl up in my lap or sleep on my chest, purring contentedly. Liem passed away in January 2022, but the memories of those quiet, tender moments still bring me comfort. Caring for him was a privilege I’ll always hold dear.

David

Jazz is a consummate professional pet sitter with attention to detail and great communication skills. I went to England for two weeks and had her sit my four cats at home while I was gone. She gave me detailed updates and great photos after each visit. She also got to know my cats quickly and they were well taken care of while I was gone which provided me peace of mind while I was traveling. She did a great job of keeping the house tidy and the litter clean with very good attention to detail. I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.

Jazz took excellent care of our girls while we were away. We really appreciated her attention to detail during our meet and greet. The visit report and photos provided were excellent. We will book with Jazz any time we are out of town moving forward.

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.

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.
