Learn More About Tamra

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes, I have a beautiful cat named Ginger. She is 6 years old. We adopted her from a shelter at 7 months old. She has been a large part of our family and has brought us so much joy over the years. She is a very curious cat and loves to play, but it is always on her terms which is totally fine. She has the sweetest personality and likes to follow me from room to room. I adore her!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I don’t usually travel for the holidays so I will be around and available as a sitter. My schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate in many cases.

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

While working in the shelter, we dealt with many cats that were traumatized. It was important for the cat to feel safe in their environment and to begin to slowly build trust. I would allow the cat time to get used to my smell with not paying them too much attention at first. Maybe just sitting near them. After some time, if I can tell they are getting more comfortable, placing my hand out for them to get a better smell of my scent. Approaching very slowly as not to startle them. It’s important the cat feels that the pace of the interaction is on their terms. Gentle play and treats help. Soft voice and slow movements.

Tamra was just perfect. She actually coaxed one of our two stranger-wary cats out for a bit of brushing and play, which is a first! We loved the pix of the kitties every day, and we wouldn't hesitate to have Tamra care for our cats again.

My cats and dogs are my children. I would not leave them with any one other than family unless it was Tamra. She is loving and kind. You can feel confident leaving your precious fur babies with her.

Frequently Asked Questions

El Dorado Hills cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. 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.
