I'm Thomas | Cat Sitting in Hayward, CA
Hello Hayward and Easy Bay Cat Owners! My name is Thomas and I have been an animal lover and owner my entire life. Growing up in a smaller town (born and raised in Reno), I was raised on a ranch with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, snakes, chinchillas, fish, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs, parakeets, various reptiles, and many more types of animals. Animals and pets are one of the best parts of life and living! We are very lucky to have our fur babies in our lives, and I want to make sure your kitties are treated with the best of the best care. I look forward to meeting you and your loves! My partner and I have four cats at home: Riley, a beautiful Russian Blue adopted from the Peninsula SPCA in July of 2016; Nala, a DSH (whom I call 'Tiny'), also adopted from the Peninsula SPCA in July of 2018; and we have just recently (October 2022) "foster failed" two kittens that we found in our neighborhood, dubbed Spooky and TreyC (well, "he" WAS Trey, but then SHE became TreyC). As a child and teenager, I was occasionally asked to pet-sit for friends and neighbors, an...

Thomas's Reviews
Dhea
1000% recommends Thomas and will definitely rebook! Thomas’ videos updates are always so much fun to watch, definitely reassuring to have those updates during my travel. He is so so easy to communicate, considerate, thorough, and fun — really cant ask for more, he went above and beyond on every visit during my long travel! He even charmed my shy kitty and the less shy ones are thrilled whenever he visits. Litter boxes kept clean, snack puzzles always filled, I could keep going, Thomas never missed a thing!
Clifford
This was the third time Thomas babysat our cats and they were just as happy to see him as he was them. He provided numerous photos and videos of playtime with the cats that went above and beyond expectations and made our absence so much easier on them. I can't recommend him high enough!
Jim
Thomas was very responsive setting up the meet and greet, and sending photos and videos of his visit. He went above and beyond in caring for playing with my cat.
Karey
This isn’t the first time I’ve reviewed Thomas, nor is it the first time I’ve given him a five star rating. Thomas is a kitty lover and it shows in the care and attention he gives to our babies. He is always quick to respond and ALWAYS goes above and beyond our expectations. He’s a true gem.
Clifford
Wow! Another AMAZING sitting! Video, photos, happy cats. I was a bit overwhelmed with tasks so not having to worry about my cats because I knew they were in good hands was a blessing. Thomas sent numerous videos and photos both days!

Frequently Asked Questions
Hayward cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $41.00. 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.
