I'm Cindy
Cat Sitting in Davis, CA
I have four years’ experience as a cat sitter and love being with them - quirks and all! It’s hard to remember life before cats. As I get to know your family I will take notes on how to feed them, whether they have any special needs like medication or food additions. Anything I should know to give them excellent care.
I have had a cat that took topical medications, and my approach to giving topicals to cats is to start by sitting quietly together and getting the cat to relax. If they like petting I do that and then apply the ointment gently, following up with more petting or even a treat, if allowed. I do my best to make the experience a pleasant one... Hi I’m Cindy and I am a proud Cat Mom. Cats are unique, and can be cuddly but remain very independent. They are masters of doing things their way and I respect that trait. I think they are fun to watch and play with.

If your cat goes outside on a leash I am happy to take them out, as long as you give me your / their preferred routes and any special needs or requirements. Some felines love to be out and about!
You get to tell me all about your cats and how they like to be treated. Are they playful, shy or vocal ? I will make sure their litter box and surrounding areas are clean and tidy, looking for any accidents or litter tracks in your space. They will be well fed and loved.
My background includes teaching English and creative writing and several types of professional coaching. Helping people and animals to live their best lives is at the core of my career. As I get to know your cat, I observe and pay attention to their behavior and your instructions. I'll care for your cat's needs and provide a safe and happy visit with play and treats, if allowed and they are into playing. I love a good playtime!
You’ll never wonder how they are doing because I’ll send photos and texts daily. I’m reliable and bring positive energy and full attention to providing stellar care for your cat(s).
Learn More About Cindy
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been a cat sitter for four years: two years in New York and two in California (Santa Clara). I've enjoyed getting to spend time with "new" cats and showing them some love while their parents were away. I approach them with calm and build the relationship at their pace. I am looking forward to getting to know more Davis cats!
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I most enjoy building a relationship with a cat family. Getting to know and appreciate the cat so I can provide great care and appropriate play. I love meeting new cat people and hearing their stories!
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
We are a cat family of two humans and one cat: Buzz Light year. He is a rescued cat with a big heart and lots of energy for playing. We got him to keep our other cat Neo company but after 12 years together, Neo has passed and we are grateful to have Buzz in our lives. He enjoys chasing insects, getting his head and neck rubbed and hanging out on or near our laps.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
When you meet your sitter initially, notice how they make you feel. Are they attentive, good listeners? Do they ask the questions you would expect? How do your pets act with them? Animals are very sensitive and they pick up on vibes instinctually.

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.
Davis cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $32.00. 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!
