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 mom of three rescues kitties—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 feline rescues has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and a whole lot of cuddles! I foster cats and kittens of all ages and temperaments to prepare them for their fur-ever homes. I'm currently fostering 3 kitties that were surrendered to different shelters: Nina (10yo), Socks (2yo), and Cleo (1.6yo). As the owner and operator of Cats With Jazz, LLC, I am a professional in-home cat sitter providi...

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 owning and operating Cats With Jazz, LLC, 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. As a professional cat sitter, I tailor each visit to your kitty's unique needs and routines. I continue to pursue relevant higher education to provide the best possible care for all of my kitty friends.

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 cat owners in need. It's a privilege to have such special, lifelong relationships with cats and their parents. My aim is to offer peace of mind to clients, and to be a knowledgeable provider in your cat's care team as I observe all behaviors, personality traits, and history relating to your cats. Since starting my journey as a professional cat sitter, our cat-loving 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.

Alyssa

Jazz is the FULL package and no ask is too big. She was not only able to get my bossy old lady to fall in love with her, but also kept both cats entertained and safe. Jazz provided photos, and detailed descriptions of each visit and even helped remove my smoke detector when the battery died allowing both cats to resume their peaceful nature. She is friendly, kind, and the best second mommy to my fur kids. I never had to worry about my cats or homes safety knowing Jazz was there.

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 $41.00. 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.
