I'm Ruth | Cat Sitting in Danville, CA

I am a lifetime cat owner and currently mom to two sweet boys! I can't remember a time I haven't had at least two cats and cherish their independent yet loving personalities. I have also fostered cats so I am adept at juggling more than one feline at a time. Currently, my senior kitties require diabetic shots and oral medicines so I am very familiar and comfortable with administering medications. I work from home and am flexible in hours I can visit and tend to your...

We have hired Ruth twice - one short and one long vacation. We appreciated her patience coaxing our cat and getting our cat to respond. The feedback via texts after each visit with pictures reassured us that everything was ok. We highly recommend Ruth.

Ruth was great with Luna, they played and cuddled. Luna is a social kitty and loves a little extra attention. Thanks Ruth :)

We have used Ruth several times to watch our sweet 17 year old boy, Knightro. Ruth is always fast to respond and provides daily updates with pictures. She does a wonderful job and most importantly, Knightro loves her! Thanks, Ruth!

Ruth was an absolutely AMAZING cat sitter! We are relatively new to the area having recently moved up from San Diego. Knowing we wanted an 'in home' cat sitter for our 2 cats vs. boarding, we started checking out options. Of the 4 or 5 possibilities we found, Ruth was definitely the most responsive and prompt with communication. After our initial meet and greet, we were totally convinced Ruth was the right choice and we could not have been happier with our decision! First of all, she obviously LOVES cats but beyond that she is very prompt and great at communication. With every visit she sent us numerous pictures and text updates. Ruth is also very resourceful, unfortunately our entry door key fob 'timed out' during one of her visits and she found a way to get it reset with the apartment complex management..... all without our intervention or help! We will be using Ruth on every get-a-way from now on..... we would give her the HIGHEST recommendation possible! Thanks Ruth, Erik, Terri, Sasha and Kiwi

Frequently Asked Questions

Danville cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $43.00. 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.
