Cat Sitting in Emeryville, CA

Hi! I’m a lifelong cat lover who knows every feline has their own personality—whether they’re shy, curious, or the life of the party. I’m gentle, reliable, detail-oriented and great at earning trust with play, cuddles, or just space and quiet company. Cats often love me and I feel like a bit of a cat whisperer... Hi! I’m a lifelong cat lover who knows every feline has their own personality—whether they’re shy, curious, or the life of the party. I’m gentle, reliable, detail-oriented and great at earning trust with play, cuddles, or just space and quiet company. Cats often love me and I feel like a bit of a cat whisperer sometimes. Probably because I respect their space! You’ll get daily updates with photos and videos so you know your kitty is happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I enjoy being around all types of cats, whether younger, older, healthy or in need. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m here for em!

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.

Medication Experience:

Topical Ointments Eye/Ear Drops Oral Medication / Pills

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.

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 $40.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
