I can honestly say that I can relax on vacation knowing Kristina is taking care of my dear cat companion NoWay. She is always careful, thoughtful, and always communicates so well every day of her care. I have always been relieved when she is available for my time away from home.

Kristina listens carefully to the information I share about my cat’s habits, preferences, and needs. i trust her judgement and know she will give my cat the best care in my absence. I have asked Kristina to care for my cat on two occasions and will always look for her schedule first when I need care for my cat.

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.
If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.
Berkeley cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $37.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.
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. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet!

We felt very comforted by her conscientiousness, excellent care of our kitty, and great communication with fun updates letting us know how she was doing.
