Learn More About Andrew

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a 15 year old cat named Pillow. She got her name because when she was a kitten she was white, fluffy, and would always sleep at the head of the bed. She is a cancer survivor and as a result only has 3 legs. She still lives a happy life and I'm incredibly thankful she is still around.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I've tested a huge variety of cat toys and while they all sound great, few have been a hit with the cats I have known. The thing that has always seemed to work is a long, thin strip of fabric they can chase and sink their claws into.

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

My keys to handle a timid, anxious cat are 1) slow and deliberate movement 2) limit direct eye contact and don't face them directly 3) spend some time minding my own business in their vicinity so they can experience I'm not an aggressive threat 4) ALWAYS let them smell me before touching them, and don't touch until they approach me and it seems they can handle it 5) start on the cheeks or somewhere not above their head as this can feel threatening 6) sometimes I have accept they aren't ready and need time to hide. It's a different pace for every cat.

Andrew is truly a cat whisperer. His easy going, calm personality allows him to befriend the trickiest cat and make them comfortable. This makes it easy for him to give your cat much loving care while you are away.

Frequently Asked Questions

Gilroy cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $38.00. 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.
