As a dedicated cat caregiver, I’ve spent years nurturing and being involved in rescuing felines. My passion began in childhood, caring for my own pets and later caring for neighbor’s animals. Volunteering at local cat cafes has allowed to me to be more empathetic with cat care, socialization and adoption support. I’ve developed a strong understanding of cat behavior, health, and emotional needs. Whether caring for pets in my own home or volunteering at animal orgs, my priority is always the cats comfort, well being and safety. I’m driven to provide the best care and support for kitties everywhere.

My cats have Japanese names inspired by nature. Haru, which means sunshine. Mizuki which means auspicious hope. They mean the whole world to me

What is your favorite cat toy?

Catnip banana. They are the best toys and in my experience most cats love these. They are fun and the best shape for cat kicks!

I have known Tara for a long time now and have trusted her with my cats on multiple occasions. I was impressed by the way she made my shy and anxious cat feel comfortable and relaxed. She is incredibly reliable, confident, calm and attentive to every little detail. She ensured that I was informed at all times by sending me updates about my cats. Her genuine love for animals and calming presence would make her an excellent choice for anyone seeking a reliable and loving cat sitter.

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.

Fremont 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 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!
