I'm Valerie | Cat Sitting in Fremont, CA

I owned my own fur baby for over 7 years until she passed away from FIP in 2017. Due to my frequent traveling and living with family, I am unable to adopt another, but I still have a lot of love to give to your fur babies! When you have experience living and owning a cat, you learn to read their behaviors in a way that non-cat owners could ever understand....

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

I have been cat sitting for a year, and it has been a wonderful experience. I have met cats in all forms, shapes, sizes, and personalities. From the shy boys that run and hide to the social chatters to the big attitudes with a quick paw. Regardless of who they are, everyone of them holds a special place in my heart.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My cat, Sammy, passed away in 2017 at the age of 17 from FIP. During the last two weeks of her life, I cared for her day and night as if she was an infant child and made sure she was as comfortable as possible, up until she passed the day before my birthday. She forever will be my baby.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Cats are often looked as low maintenance, and can be left alone in the home for many days. However, cats really are social creatures, as tough love as they are. They still like being around people and I often see cats hanging around in the same room even if they’re not looking for attention. You and your home are their entire world, and without a caretaker, they will be alone in this world of theirs while you are gone.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $44.00. 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.
