kristina is an outstandimg Kitty sitter! Thoughtful, caring and sensitive to the care, needs and personality of my sweet boy. She was also a terrific communicator and fun caregiver! Thurston bonded with her almost immediatly, which is rare- and he enjoyed her visits very much! its not easy being an overnight sitter and Kristina crushed it ! im beyond thankful for her extra attention and willingness to go above and beyond! highly recommend!

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.

I was a first time Meowtel user so I was bit stressed with finding a sitter. From the get-go Kristina was wonderful to work with. She’s prompt with her communication, asks great questions and took notes. She sent daily updates of my kitten which helped me feel reassured. Definitely booking again!

Kristina was an absolute pleasure to work with and my two girls loved her! Kristina was responsive and worked with me to get her my keys. Just as importantly, she took great care of the cats, sent me updates, and sent me very cute photos! I’d definitely trust her with my cats again.

Kristina is an amazing cat sitter! Not only did she take excellent care of the kitties she also let us book extra days last minute over the holidays after we had to adjust travel plans due to COVID. She provided daily updates with pictures and made sure the cats had cuddles and all they needed. Highly recommend!

Kristina did an absolutely wonderful job watching our beloved fur ball for two weeks! 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. Staying at our house for so long, as well, she did a great job taking care of extras like watering plants, dealing with mail and trash, etc. We recommend her unequivocally!

Frequently Asked Questions

Berkeley cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
