Learn More About Clara

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to meet new cats. I enjoy the company cats can give and hope I’m a positive presence for them as well! Having the opportunity to care for fur-babies is something I take seriously and I care for them as if they were my cat! It is so fun to see them begin to bond with me too.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a happy and healthy adult cat named Pear. Growing up I had 2 cats Juno & Athena who lived to be 20 years old. I love spending time with cats to see their unique personalities emerge!

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

Not all cats are the same and letting them get to know you on their terms in their space is important. Some are confident and energetic and some need more time to get to know someone new! I do not mind respecting a timid or anxious cat’s boundaries, often just being a presence for them to walk up to if they choose! Treats and pets also may help!

This was our first time leaving our kittens alone for a whole week so we hired Clara to keep an eye on them. She was fantastic! She sent pictures and kept us posted on everything during her visits. She was very sweet with our two kittens. We found them very well cared and not sad at all. I totally recommend her.

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.

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.

Del Mar 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!
