Looking after pets honestly brings me so much joy, so you can be rest assured that your pet is in good hands, because I will be getting so much joy out of looking after them so they are guaranteed to be having a great time.
I have experience with all types of cats- shy ones, one who only had 3 legs, super active ones, and one whose sole mission was to escape and rule the world. I can’t wait to meet your kitty cat and take care of them while you enjoy your vacation!

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

I have been actively cat sitting for 2 years but also looked after pets when I was younger. I have seen all sorts of personalities during my years of cat sitting and love them all!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What is there not to love?? Getting to spend the day giving a cat cuddles pretty much sums up my perfect day (or shall I say purrfect… sorry I had to)

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

Ooo hard one, I think it would have to be the first cat sit I did in NL. I got a cat sit request and that was actually how I ended up meeting my best friend. Her cats were so sweet- one was a wild orange cat (you know the type) and the other had 3 legs and was incredibly shy and normally doesn’t let anyone touch him. By day 3 he let me start brushing him and now we are besties and he comes running to me. His owners couldn’t believe it.

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

Honestly I feel like timid cats are my specialty at this point. There is not a shy cat that I haven’t won over in the end. I genuinely want the cat to trust me so I am calm and let them sniff me and let them control the situation. I’ve had it where some cats are so shy that they don’t even want to come out from a hiding spot. In this case, I see if they want some treats and if they allow me to just sit close to them so they get used to me. I’ll move slowly and retreat if they get scared but try again later to show them I’m not a threat. In the end even the most scared cats have trusted me and let me pet them and those are normally the ones that end up being the most affectionate with me.

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 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. 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 free Meet & Greet!
