I'm Gabrielle | Cat Sitting in Berkeley, CA
Hello! I’m Gabi, and I’m super excited to help look after your kitties while you’re away :) As an owner to two rambunctious kitties myself, I’m no stranger to silly, energetic, vocal, or troublesome cats. Mine likes to chew off shoelaces, the other breaks into food pantries— trust me, I’ve probably seen it all. If your furbaby is on the other side of the energy spectrum, rest assured I am very patient and understanding with shy animals. My youngest cat started off as a 2 month old ball of anxiety, and is now a purring lap cat who lets even strangers pet his little head. I have always managed to make pets feel comfortable around me eventually, even the most scaredy-cats of scaredy-cats! I’m also well versed in handling complex dietary needs and medications.

Joseph
Gabrielle is a very sweet and thoughtful cat sitter. She’s communicative, considerate, and caring. She also brings a wealth of experience that gives a lot of piece of mind, including the fact that she is a pre-med student at school, a volunteer vet at my local nonprofit clinic, and a cat owner herself (two adorable kitties). She’s regularly on-time, and she always sends photos and videos! She also has sent things of concerns that she sees if anything pops up, such as when my cat started eating really fast right before I had to leave them with her. She brought over lick mats and they’ve helped a ton. Anyways, overall super thoughtful and would highly recommend her!

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 $38.00. 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.
