I have known Esther for many years and have witnessed her experience and love for all animals, especially cats. Esther has cared for my cats many times and I am grateful for her hand in rescuing one of my cats who is now part of my family. Esther has been involved in many facets of caring for cats; i.e, rescue feral and tame cats, feeding colonies and managing sites. I recommend Esther for any cat sitting jobs.

Cloverdale cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $43.00. 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!
