Cat Sitting in Hayward, CA

I’ve lived in the Hayward area for six years and have been cat sitting for over a decade. I have a 7 year old cat named Luna, she’s very sweet and extremely vocal. An interesting thing is that she was fully black until she was 5, when she started turning white I took her to the vet and she was diagnosed with vitiligo! I grew up with cats and have loved them ever since I can remember. I’ve cared for many different cats over the years and have appreciated the unique personalities of every single one of them. I also have experience caring for exotic pets like reptiles and rodents. Outside of cat sitting I enjoy reading (thrillers and sci-fi) and playing music.

Learn More About Victoria

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

I have been cat sitting for over ten years. I’ve cared for kittens, seniors, and everything in between. I have experience with cats with health and behavioral issues.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy playing with cats, discovering all of their unique personalities, and making them as comfortable and happy while their parents are away.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

For years I cared for a beautiful gray and white cat named Sofia. She was found in a dumpster and rescued by a loving cat parent. Sofia was extremely shy but incredibly loveable once she warmed up to you.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

Following all feeding and medication instructions by cat parents, always having an eye on the cat(s), keeping all doors and windows secure.

Victoria was great. We appreciated the regularity of her visits (usually around the same time everyday) and her excellent communication. She sent us pics from every visit. Most telling, our cat was happy to see us but not as pathetic as he has been after previous trips. We were so happy with Victoria we already booked her for our next trip!

This was our second time having Victoria look after our cat. She was fantastic! Super communicative and always gave us updates and pictures. Our cat was a bit more mischievous this trip but Victoria handled everything. We cannot recommend her enough.

Victoria did a great job with our high maintenance cat. Sent us pictures daily as well as regular updates, we were very nervous about being gone for 2 weeks, however Victoria helped us to rest assured our kitty was in gold hands.

Victoria provided excellent care for our two cats. She is very professional, always on time, and clearly has a way with animals. She spent plenty of time playing with our cats and making sure they were well-cared for while we were gone. We returned to two very happy, relaxed cats. We will definitely be reaching out to her again for our next trip!

Victoria’s communication & sending cat pictures on each visit is appreciated. Unfortunately, we found water fountain to be empty and treats bags/box not closed properly when we got home, even though we booked her for every day during our trip.

We have never used a service like this before for our cats. But due to having two senior kitties, we felt it was crucial they get daily checks. Victoria went above and beyond, and managed to get our most shy cat out to play and enjoy churus!! 10/10 recommend. We were nervous, Victoria was so wonderful for our kitties and made us feel comfortable after the first visit.

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.

Hayward cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $43.00. 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!
