Teresa is AMAZING! I reached out to her last minute when our other sitter couldn’t watch our cats, and she was very responsive and flexible in scheduling a meet and greet. She watched our cats for 5 days and was so considerate! Not only did she collect our mail, water our plants, and sweep the litter up, she also gave us regular updates and tons of photos!! She won the heart of both of our cats instantly, including our very, very shy kitty. Teresa had her out playing right away, and was able to give our shy cat her daily meditation. Teresa was a pleasure, even checking in to make sure we made it home safely after, and I will Forsure work with her again! Highly recommend!

Teresa accepted my super last-minute request for a sitter and did a great job. We were able to do a brief meet-and-greet over Zoom before I went out of town and she asked thoughtful questions and took notes to make sure she didn't miss any details. One of my cats needed medication and she handled that perfectly. She sent photos and videos of my kitties enjoying her company too. I will definitely use Teresa again!

I was scheduled for a last minute work training and happened on this site. It was easy to use and I found Teresa here. She was local and upfront on her availability. Once I booked the reservations she reached out to me and coordinated a meet and greet. Teresa did a great job communicating and taking the information regarding my cat Augustus. The days she came over she took great care of my baby. She made sure to take a picture of him, gave him his food and made sure the litter box was clean. This was my first time being away from him and was worried he would destroy my house. Thank goodness he did not. Teresa was great at giving me information. She also was vigilant and noticed a neighbor's cat that likes to sit at my back slider. She reached out to make sure she wasn't supposed to feed him too. Overall I was very happy with Teresa. I have already booked her for another trip.

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.
Martinez 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!

As a cat / cats owner you can be assured that sitter , Teresa Madrigal will give loving care to your cats . My younger cat is very shy and will hide if anyone should come inside. Upon meeting Teresa , my cat came out and was friendly towards Teresa . AMAZING , my cat had never exhibited such reactions . Cats do know who they like and trust Please recognize Teresa's professional and loving care towards my cats . When I need the care of a cat sitter , I will hopefully find Teresa available . Please give her my regards . Best wishes Vicki Weissenborn

Teresa was purrrfect! I had never left my 2 kitties home alone for more than a few days so I was a little nervous leaving them for a week. Having Teresa come in each day for 45 mins put my mind at ease. My kitties loved her and the daily pix and videos warmed my heart. My kitties were well taken care of and loved by Teresa. I will definitely use this service and absolutely would hire Teresa again. She was just wonderful, kind and loving to my 2 kitties!

Teresa is hands down the best cat sitter we’ve ever had the pleasure of hiring. Her reliability and genuine love for animals shine through in every interaction. Our cat adores Teresa, and it’s evident from the photo updates. With each visit, Teresa goes above and beyond! We’ve entrusted Teresa with our cat’s care on numerous occasions, including extended vacations, and we have complete peace of mind knowing that our pet is in her capable hands. The trust we have in Teresa is unmatched, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of a caring and responsible pet sitter. Additionally, Teresa’s updates and photos during our time away are a delightful touch, allowing us to see just how happy and content our cat is in her care.

As a devoted pet owner, I am delighted to share my experience with Teresa, an exceptional cat sitter who has provided unparalleled care for my furry companion. Entrusting someone with the responsibility of caring for your beloved pet can be daunting, but with Teresa I have found peace of mind and utmost satisfaction. One of the standout qualities of Teresa is her outstanding communication skills. From our initial consultation to the daily updates, she provides during her visits, she ensures transparent and prompt communication, which greatly eases any concerns I may have while I'm away. Her reliability in responding to messages and addressing any inquiries promptly reflects her professionalism and dedication to her role. Furthermore, Teresa] demonstrates a genuine passion for feline welfare, evident in the meticulous attention she dedicates to each visit. She takes her time to interact with my cat, ensuring he feels comfortable and cared for in my absence. Whether it's engaging in playtime, administering medications, or simply offering companionship, she goes above and beyond to meet my cat's needs. What truly sets Teresa apart is her commitment to providing comprehensive care tailored to my cat's specific requirements. She attentively follows feeding schedules, cleans litter boxes diligently, and maintains a safe and stimulating environment for my pet. Her attentiveness to detail and genuine affection for animals reaffirm her status as a top choice for any pet owner seeking a reliable and compassionate cat sitter. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly endorse Teresa as an exemplary cat sitter who exceeds expectations in every aspect of her service. Her exceptional communication skills, unwavering dedication, and genuine love for animals make her a valuable asset to any pet owner seeking trustworthy care for their furry companions. With Teresa ,you can rest assured that your cat is in capable and caring hands.
