I've owned and fostered cats. I've lived with and helped take care of two adorable cats the last seven years.
I'm available for stop by cat sitting in Berkeley, Alba... I love to watch my friend's fur babies when they are out of town and I'd love to watch your furry feline friends too!
I've owned and fostered cats. I've lived with and helped take care of two adorable cats the last seven years.
I'm available for stop by cat sitting in Berkeley, Albany, El Cerrito, Piedmont, and Oakland. I can travel to a much further radius (San Francisco, South Bay, North Bay) for live-in cat sitting.
One of my favorite cat sitting memories is when a friend's very shy cat came out to greet me after 15 days. Now when I go back we are best buddies.

Mimi let us book on short notice and was able to give our senior cat his meds no problem! she even made progress with our scardey cat who started to come out to see her when he usually just hides under the bed.

I’ve known Mimi for about 8 years, and I trust her completely with my two 10-year-old cats. She is my go-to cat sitter and has cared for my cats countless times over the years. She’s incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely loves cats--it shows in how comfortable and well cared for they are when she’s with them. She is great with cats, communicative, and treats my cats like her own. I always feel at ease knowing they’re in such good hands!!

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 $40.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
