Learn More About Sarah

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

I grew up with cats and have been cat sitting for friends, relatives and housemates for many years, if not my whole life.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy how every cat is different and has their own personality. I also love that you have to earn a cat’s love and attention, and they don’t just give it to you right away.

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

With anxious and timid cats I definitely don’t approach them first and give them plenty of space. I try and tread lightly and talk softly as well. I’ve also seen blinking slowly help as a tactic to calm anxious cat energy.

Sarah took great care of our cats when we traveled during the week of Thanksgiving! She was patient with our shy cats and sent us updates letting us know all was well in the house. She paid close attention to our cats and made sure they had fresh water, food, and their litter was scooped. Her positive attitude and friendliness made her a joy to work with and I hope to book her again in the future!

Sarah is fantastic. She took care of my cats over a long week including Thanksgiving. I had a few changes in plans, which she was able to accommodate. Getting into my apartment is difficult/complicated, and she worked with me to get her in securely. I will definitely ask Sarah again to cat sit for my little guys.

Sarah was so sweet and understanding of my cat Mochi when she administered her eye medication. She was patient, kind, and open to different approaches to keep the process stress free. I highly recommend Sarah!

Frequently Asked Questions

Emeryville cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
