Learn More About Chantel

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

I have 2 years experience with cat sitting. I have experience with young cats to older and disabled cats who need varying levels of support. Based on the temperament and needs of the cat, I am able to adjust to meet their needs and make sure to learn their needs via strong communication with the owner.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

To ensure safety & security for both cat and home, I make sure to have an extensive conversation with the owner to understand the house rules and processes, as well as understand what the cat is allowed and not allowed to do i.e. go outside, certain food restrictions, medications, etc. I also make sure to understand where to dispose of garbage and best times to enter/exit the home. Additionally, I hold the home key close to me at all times so as not to lose it.

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

For timid, anxious cats I offer time, space, and distance. I make sure when fixing their food I narrate what I’m doing and also where I’m moving and going within the space so that they’re aware of my voice and movements so as not to scare them. Additionally, I make sure that I honor their pace rather than rushing them to play, eat, or receive touch.

Chantel was very communicative and professional. She took great care of our cat Havok while we were away. We really appreciated her coming for a meet & greet before we left so we could show her everything and her regular updates after every visit really reduced our stress during the trip. We knew Havok was in great hands!

Frequently Asked Questions

El Cerrito cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $37.00. 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.
