Learn More About Barb

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

I have watched my friend’s cats previously and just had my first reservation Aug 2025. I grew up with cats and had a cat for 16 years. Kitty kisses are the best!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love cats so spending time with them through sitting will be a nice addition to my day. I miss purrs.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Nothing beats a good laser pointer. My cat loved it. Also a simple felt ribbon on a stick was another favorite.

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

I let them come to me. Typically by the second visit, even shy cats will come around for pets and treats.

This was my first time using Meowtel (or any app for a fur babysitter). I chose Barb and the entire experience was wonderful. Barb arranged our “meet and greet” which went as expected (Rusty is shy) but I was pleased that his behavior didn’t faze her. Barb took great care of Rusty - he was a rescue a year ago so I wasn’t sure how the visits would go. Barb gave me daily reports and photos and it was great to hear he approached her and got some cuddles while we were gone. Barb took great care of him and even brought in our mail that wasn’t supposed to be delivered. I will ask her to help us again in the future. Very happy pawrent .

Barb was awesome with our cats! I was really nervous about using a cat sitting app and having a stranger look after our two cats, but meeting her totally put my mind at ease and everything went great!One of our cats takes medication and they both have special feeding requirements, and she followed all our instructions with no issues. She sent us photos and an update every day. Highly recommended!

Barb was wonderful! She’s warm and caring!! She took great care of our two cats, following all of my instructions for care and maximizing time for play, which is most important in my book. She kept us updated on how the cats were doing daily, sending photos and videos. This made being away easier knowing that our cats were in reliable, caring hands. We will book Barb again without hesitation!

Barb has a long history of caring for her own animals as well as others (kitty socializing volunteer, fostering cats and cat sitting). I felt totally comfortable handing my keys over and having Barb in my home to care for my Wendy (skittish) and Noel (social). The photos and regular updates she texted to me while I was away gave me confidence that my two fur-babies were being well cared for.

Barbara is a very competent person. She is kind and loving to people and animals alike. She is respectful of others and very reliable. Barbara loves cats and they love her so I would highly recommend her to watch your fur baby.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cupertino cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $40.00. 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel has been background-checked and reviewed. Every Meowtel reservation may come 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 may come with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
