I'm Caitlin | Cat Sitting in Oakland, CA

I own two rescue cats, Mushroom and Sprankers, and both are special needs. Mushroom has terrible allergies that I attend to on a daily basis, and Sprankers is FIV+ so needless to say every time I hear a cough or a sneeze I instantly become a helicopter parent. I worked for Vans as a store manager for 12+ years, and learned a myriad of useful skills there that I can translate to being the best babysitter for your kitties ... time management, multi-tasking, how to stay cool and col...

we have two special need cats and one is hearing impaired and they were both so happy and stress free when we came home. our space was immaculate, our cat’s medicine were given with precision, and Caitlin’s attitude is so positive and friendly. her cat skills are phenomenal and we are fortunate that she was available to care for our furry family.

Caitlin was wonderful, as usual. I was taking a last minute trip and she was so easy to coordinate with. It's such peace of mind to know that my kitties are in good and familiar hands.

Caitlin took amazing care of my two cats Tiki & Tenaya, was super detail oriented and easily was able to apply eye medication to one of my cats! I also got amazing updates and the cutest photos from her which put my mind at ease ❤️

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

If you are not fully satisfied with your sitter after the Meet & Greet or during the reservation, please call 1-844-636-9835 so we can help you re-book with a new sitter to ensure we can deliver on our purrfect hospitality promise.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $41.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes 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 comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
