What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
Building trust with a new cat requires patience, respect, and understanding of their unique personality. First, I give the cat space to approach me on their terms, letting them sniff and observe without pressure. I use a calm, gentle voice to reassure them and avoid direct eye contact, which can be intimidating. Offering treats or engaging with their favorite toys helps to create positive associations. Gradually, I’ll start petting them in areas cats typically enjoy, like under the chin or behind the ears, always watching their body language to ensure they're comfortable.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
What I enjoy most about cat sitting is forming a unique bond with each cat. I love witnessing their personalities shine through as they grow more comfortable. Whether it's playing, grooming, or simply providing a calm presence, I find joy in ensuring they feel safe, loved, and content in their owner's absence.
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
One of my favorite cat sitting experiences was with a mischievous tabby named Raul. Raul had a reputation for being shy with strangers, but by the second day of our time together, he began to warm up. After a few days of gentle interactions, Raul finally sat beside me and started purring contentedly. I’ll never forget the breakthrough moment when he brought me his favorite toy, a small mouse, as if inviting me into his world. By the end of the week, we were inseparable, and I could tell Raul was as sad to see me go as I was to leave him.

Brentwood 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!
