Learn More About Natalie

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

I’ve been cat sitting three years professionally and have sat cats for my friends and family all throughout my life. I’ve had 7 cats of my own so I’m very familiar with their behavior and personalities.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I love cat sitting for multi-cat households. My favorite reservation was for three cats named Beignet, Simba, and Pepper. The more cats the more fun in my opinion!

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I gather information ahead of the sitting about the cats typical behavior, history of how a cat does while left alone, emergency protocols and contacts, and I securely keep information about building access confidential. I’m very careful with keys and building access codes, and I always enter and exit carefully to ensure cats don’t sneak out the door.

Natalie has taken care of my 3 cats for every vacation I take for a while now. I am sometimes gone weeks at a time, and I know that my cats will always be well taken care of. She communicates clearly and often, plays with my cats and spoils them with affection, and sends pictures and videos every day so I know they are doing well. One of my cats needs daily medication and Natalie always lets me know that she has given it to him. She's the best!

Natalie is a great cat sitter! She did a fantastic job with our two cats for ~10days over the holidays, one of which required daily medicine mixed in with her food and had to be checked for skin lesions daily. Natalie provided thorough updates (and lots of pictures!) every day so we knew that the cat got her medicine and both cats were doing well. She had no problem dealing with our (two different) automatic feeders that needed refilling. She was also super helpful keeping an eye on the house and taking in packages when we were gone. We're looking forward to having Natalie cat sit for us again on our next trip!

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.
