Cat Sitting in Cupertino, CA

Hello! My name is Allison and I have been a cat lover since birth. Growing up, I often cat sat for neighbors, and took care of our family cat while in college when my parents retired and started to travel.

My husband and I moved down to the Bay Area in 2020 and adopted our first together, a Maine Coon named Nebula, who is a headstrong, independent, and very opinionated princess. She rules both our lives and household. Growing up, I also had a Maine Coon, so I am ver...
Hello! My name is Allison and I have been a cat lover since birth. Growing up, I often cat sat for neighbors, and took care of our family cat while in college when my parents retired and started to travel.

My husband and I moved down to the Bay Area in 2020 and adopted our first together, a Maine Coon named Nebula, who is a headstrong, independent, and very opinionated princess. She rules both our lives and household. Growing up, I also had a Maine Coon, so I am very comfortable taking care of big cats with a lot of attitude.

I went to college to be a historian and worked at a museum before covid, so dispensing facts (especially cat facts) is definitely a talent of mine. My partner works in tech, so I am used to the fluxuation of schedule and can accommodate accordingly. I am a social butterfly so keeping you updated on your furry friends isn't a problem for me. Making your travel time a bit less stressful would be my pleasure.

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

I've been pet sitting for neighbors and family friends on and off for my whole life. I’ve been working with Meowtel since the beginning of May 2024 and all of the cats I’ve had the pleasure of helping have been amazing.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Getting to meet new cats. Every one has a new personality, and as a cat parent to a little girl who doesn't like cuddles, it gives me an opportunity fulfill that.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

There are so many clients I love seeing in my bookings, and a lot of them bring different things that make my day! One is a previous feral that has decided my lap is his favorite place and I can't leave without some lap time, Another is a very loving kitty that would prefer if I held him in my arms the whole time. There is a very smart one that can solve food puzzles at the blink of an eye and insists I carry him around in a box so he feels like royalty. I also have two older ladies that get excited every time I stop by, and act like kittens again. All of the cats I sit for have such a special place in my life.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a 5 year old Maine Coon named Nebula. She is a silver calico with lots of cattitude. Growing up we has a Maine Coon mix. His name was Snickers. He was full of personality and loved to explore.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I would require a meet and greet with the owner present and for their pets to get used to me and my smells while still with their safety person. Then I would go over expectations for me during their trip, such as food/ med schedules, if they would like check ins and how often, litter inspection, and favortie toys and treats.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I find treats and patience often help break the tension. My cat is very timid with new people, but she becomes a social butterfly with wet food and treats. I usually get down on the floor with them and just chat. They like having you at their level and over time will feel comfortable enough to approach and access.

Allison was fantastic! Best cat sitter ever! She knew exactly how to slowly gain the trust of our very shy cat who would hide under the bed when she arrived. In just a few days, our Sage warmed up to her and became her friend. Sage even became sassy toward the end of the trip as she felt comfortable enough to do that!! Prior to our trip, we had been battling ants! We had hoped we got a head of them before we left, but we mentioned it to Allison just in case. OMG did the ants come back and Allison would clean them up and use the safe spray that would not harm our indoor cat! We so appreciate her going above and beyond.

Allison is such an amazing person and cat sitter. She takes such good care of our kitties and we have peace of mind going on vacation. She goes above and beyond every time. One of our cats is shy and usually does not come out of hiding for strangers but she loves Allison! One of our cats was recovering from an illness right as we left for vacation and Allison nursed her back to health. She is very reliable and truly cares about our kitties as if they were her own. We look forward to working with Allison again!

I have a nervous little girl and an outgoing, VERY attention-seeking boy and Allison was incredible with both kitties. Her updates were timely and thorough and I particularly enjoyed seeing a variety of activities with both cats in multiple locations around the house. Alison’s attention to detail and positive energy made me feel confident that Daphne and Murphy were in the right hands.

Allison always goes above and beyond to make sure Kalbi is well taken care of and feels loved. We had a few weird happenings this time (our cat tree fell!) and she handled it like a pro with grace and care. We love Allison! :)

Allison took amazing care of our gatos! she sent us wonderful detailed updates of how they were doing and took the time to play with them and give them attention while we were away. She also sent fun photos of our cats in action and accommodated their funny habits (like drinking their water out of human cups!)

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.

Cupertino 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 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!
