I'm Dianna
Cat Sitting in Emeryville, CA
I come from a lifelong feline-loving home and have extensive hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages and temperaments. I currently have two rescue cats of my own, Cleo (brown tabby) and Mia (black and white), and my family has rescued and cared for many others over the years.
Since high school, we have fostered and taken in stray, abandoned, senior, and sick cats. This experience has given me a strong understanding of how to help cats feel safe, comfortable, and loved, especially in new or unfamiliar situations... Hi everyone! My name is Dianna 😸
I come from a lifelong feline-loving home and have extensive hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages and temperaments. I currently have two rescue cats of my own, Cleo (brown tabby) and Mia (black and white), and my family has rescued and cared for many others over the years.
Since high school, we have fostered and taken in stray, abandoned, senior, and sick cats. This experience has given me a strong understanding of how to help cats feel safe, comfortable, and loved, especially in new or unfamiliar situations. One of the most rewarding parts of catsitting for me is watching their unique personalities come out once they feel secure.
I am experienced with:
- Oral, topical, and injectable medications, including insulin
- Eye and ear drops, pills, and skin treatments
- Senior cats and cats with medical needs
- Shy, anxious, or reactive cats
I always prioritize your cat’s comfort and routine, and I take the time to build trust at their pace, whether that means quiet companionship or playful interaction.
Outside of catsitting, I do research, enjoy dancing, baking, and love spending time with my two fur babies 😸😸
Learn More About Dianna
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have 2 rescues😸😸 a brown tabby named Cleo and a black+white kitty named Mia. Back at home, my family has 5 kitties currently: Alex (tuxedo), Henry (tabby), Flounder (calico), and Nala (calico)❤️
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Even though we will review everything during the Meet and Greet, having your cat’s profile and care instructions updated ahead of time helps me provide the best possible care. I also recommend having a lockbox or a secure way to exchange keys for smooth and stress-free visits.
Are you usually available during holidays?
I’m usually available for most holidays- minus the Christmas and New Years period. Just message me if there is a date that’s blocked off and I will see if I can open it!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
As the catparent to a very anxious kitty, patience and respect are key! I never force interaction. Instead, I prefer creating a calm environment to let cats approach me on their own terms. This might start with a peek around the corner, a cautious sniff, or a quick hello. From there, we can build trust through quiet presence, treats like Churus, and play with their favorite toys :) I know that every cat is different, and I adapt to what makes them feel safe and comfortable!

Dianna took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away for two weeks! She was communicative and always sent us pictures and videos during her visits. Dianna won over our shy cat by only the third visit, and then he was attached to her by the end! We came home to a clean house and happy cats.

Diana seemed to really connect with our cat and earned his trust quickly. I could tell from the pictures and videos she sent that he was calm and happy - which is saying a lot based on his anxiety issues. Will absolutely work with Dianna again.

Dianna was great with my kitties! My friendly guy took to her right away and she gave him lots of love and scratchies. Even my very shy guy made an appearance and let her feed him treats. She is clearly a cat lover, was very responsive and sent lots of pictures and videos. She followed all instructions and I felt my cats were well taken care of. Everything was neat and tidy when I returned.

Dianna was thoughtful and communicative, both in words and images. I didn’t have to guess how Tootsie was doing. She understands the nuances of cats and responds accordingly. When I returned home, everything was orderly. Her care brought me enormous peace of mind.

Dianna was an amazing cat sitter! It was our first time booking with her and we had some last minute schedule changes; Dianna was super flexible and accommodating. She made sure our cats ate (we have a picky eater) and they got lots of playtime in. We definitely recommend her and plan to book again in the future. 😸

Dianna was great! We were worried about leaving our diabetic cat for the first time and she was able to give him his medication with no issues! She sent photos and videos and the cats all looked happy and taken care of. Thanks again!

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.
Emeryville 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 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!

Dianna took excellent care of our two senior kitties, going above and beyond to make sure they are their food and took their meds. She kept us so well updated and we came home to two happy and healthy kitties. Dianna will be our go-to!

Dianna was fantastic with our two 9mo teens! Kind to our sweetie, and patient with our shy babe. Her updates were so nice and heartwarming—we really enjoyed getting them. Our typically-anxious cats showed no signs that they were stressed with us gone, and every instruction was followed very closely. She clearly has a great attention to detail and the needs of our cats. We’ll definitely be using her services again.

Dianna was super communicative and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away on vacation. She sent us detailed updates, photos, and videos from every visit, and pampered our two cats with treats, play time, and cuddles. They fell in love with her! We returned to a spotless home and two very contented kitties. It was like they barely noticed we were away! Would highly recommend Dianna to look after your kitties 😻
Christina

Dianna was so kind and professional in all our interactions. she went above and beyond to take care of our kitty and our home, even dealing with a pesky ant situation for us and bringing in packages without being asked. our cat was so happy when we got home. Would absolutely work with Dianna again!

Dianna was simply amazing - she became friends with 2 of the kitties the 3rd one turned out to be very shy - she went above & beyond expectations.

Dianna was incredible with our senior Katz’. She kept us calm, updated, and confident that our very codependent girls (who can’t stand each other) were really well cared for. Dianna has incredible cat energy and is just a kind and caring person that you want in your home. She cared for cats like we do, and that’s … priceless she rocks 🐾😺🐾

Dianna is so wonderful. She provides consistent, thorough, and loving care for our 2 kitties. they both love her! She cuddles with our much older cat and cuddles and plays with our much younger cat so they both get everything they need. We have rebooked her many times and will continue to do so as long as she’s available!

Dianna took care of our two older cats and did a fantastic job. One of the cats recently started leaving messes which we are still trying to figure out, and Dianna was helpful in keeping everything clean. She was very responsive and communicative, caring, and helpful. Thank you so much, Dianna!

Dianna is a gem! Our kitties loved her, even our super shy and sometimes cranky cat! She took impeccable care of both of them, sent wonderful and detailed updates, photos and videos and was timely with all communication. We will be booking her again for sure! Do not hesitate to book Dianna for your kitty care!! photos

Dianna is the best! She is kind, timely, proactive, and my ATF cat sitter. I have four kitties and she handled them purr-fectly. I had a week-long trip and never once was I worried. I will 100% hire her again and recommend her services to others. I cannot say enough good things about her; she should win an award 🥇 I am already in the process of hiring her again for a short road trip. Thank you, Dianna! You are the best!
