I'm Kate | Cat Sitting in Aptos, CA

Aloha! My name’s Kate and I’m a lifelong lover of all things cat! I adore their curiosity and independence. They have personalities all their own, and I respect that they might not always be open to physical touch. I have always made an effort to read their body language and wait for their cues before going in for the snuggles. My family often called me the cat whisperer, as the majority of them seem to warm up fairly easily to me. I’m the girl at the party petting the kitty outside or trying to “pss pss pss” strays and community cats. I have a special feline familiar of my own named The Babe. She is nearly eleven and is a little bit lazy these days. So much so that I’ve considered getting another kitty that might like to play a little more often. Alas, she is a “one cat” cat. So this is an amazing opportunity for me to get out some of my kitty fever! I’m a stay at home mom most o...

I could not be happier with how well Kate took care of my cats. None of my 3 cats are well socialized, and Kate was able to charm all of them. The only problem is that I think they are disappointed that I am home and she won’t be visiting them. I highly recommend Kate.

I've used Kate a few times, and she never disappoints! She clearly loves animals and does such a great job with my little fur-baby. I will use her every chance I get for that alone... But she's also smart and attentive to all kinds of details -- she constantly goes above and beyond... she's taken out my trash, refilled my dish-soap dispenser when it was running low on soap, recharged devices when their batteries were low, and when there was a power outage she let me know and then I walked her thru hooking my refrigerator up to my backup battery / generator. BEST CAT-SITTER EVER!

Kate is consistently great with my shy guy Louie. So we both want her back the next time I’m away.

Kate was such a fantastic sitter! My cats are a bit shy, but they loved Kate, who always took great care of them. She gave me detailed updates and sent me lovely photos. Overall, I felt like my babies were very safe and loved in her care. Thank you Kate!

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 $35.00. 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.
