Cat Sitting in Dublin, CA

I’ve had a strong love for all animals my entire life, but cats will always hold a special place in my heart. It all started as a kid, taking care of my neighbors cats and dogs while they vacationed. I have worked on a Ranch- taking care of cats, dogs, horses, and cattle. I later worked as a Cattery Technician at a Facility, providing care for dozens of cats at a time. I give every cat I meet the same affection I give my own ❤️

I’ve had a strong love for all animals my entire life, but cats will always hold a special place in my heart. It all started as a kid, taking care of my neighbors cats and dogs while they vacationed. I have worked on a Ranch- taking care of cats, dogs, horses, and cattle. I later worked as a Cattery Technician at a Facility, providing care for dozens of cats at a time. I give every cat I meet the same affection I give my own ❤️

I am Pet CPR Certified by American Red Cross. This Certification includes dealing with various other issues like dehydration, seizures, and choking. Additionally, I have years of experience dealing with medications such as eye drops, pills, and oral syringe.

I’ll be sure to send you lots of updates and pictures of your cat!

I’m available weekdays from early afternoon to evenings and any time on weekends, in the Tri-Valley and San Ramon.

I am fully vaccinated and boosted, and willing to wear a mask in your home if you prefer.

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

I have been pet sitting my whole life, and have 3 years professional experience as a Cattery Technician. Rest assured your furballs are in good hands!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love to meet new cats and enjoy their various antics! Taking care of animals is my passion ❤️

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have an itty bitty boy named Marble who is so snuggly and gentle, but also afraid of his own shadow 😂 My little lady Maia is the sweetest girl you’ll ever meet. She’s obsessed with water! (We should have named her Moana, because she always comes back to the water 🤣)

Sandra accepting Athena and I as a new client. She did a daily feed, play, maintained the litter box, provided fresh water, and most importantly, she provided love and support to my new rescue on her first time at home by herself. because Sandra provided daily updates and pictures, I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my girl was being taken care of. I plan to continue working with Sandra on future arrangements. Five stars.

Sandra is an awesome cat-sitter! We left for a family reunion, and she took great care of our girl who has cancer and needed special care. Sandra took fantastic care of our baby while we were gone, and we’d use her anytime.

Sandra was amazing! This was our first experience with a pet sitter from any app/service and we were very nervous to leave our kitties with a stranger. Sandra made sure we all felt comfortable during the consultation meeting and our kitties adored her! She went above and beyond with sharing many photos and lots of detail about her visits while we were away. We would not have felt so at ease while out of town without her. My whole family recommends Sandra!

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.

Dublin cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $39.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
