Learn More About Shana

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Hanging out with kitties! Duh!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 8 wonderful kitties! Timothy and Scarlett are brother and sister and the first two of this clowder. Next, I foster failed Colin and Kate, also brother and sister. Jaspurr showed up fifth. Cosmo I found when I was supposed to be getting the mail. Linus arrived last. And then I adopted Milo, cause we needed to have an even number.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I am! I am super flexible and try to be available as often as possible. If you are looking for a sitter during a time I am not available, please reach out and I'll see what I can do!

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

When cats are timid and anxious and uninterested in hanging out with me, I make sure they have food, water, and a clean litter box and I try to at least get a "proof of life" photo. Other than that, I just spend my time at your home talking to them. Not all cats want to hang out with anyone that isn't their human, but I find that hearing my voice just calmly talking to your cats can help them want to come near me in the future.

Auntie Shana wins the award for charming, loving on, and taking exceptional care of our two beloved cats for the week we were away. we got daily updates and photos, everything was easy and smooth. She was professional, trustworthy, thorough, and the cats were happy, clean, well-fed and unstressed on our return. 5 stars and 5 paws. Will definitely book our fave Cat Auntie again.

I would highly recommend Shana, especially if you have shy cats who take a while to warm up to new people. She was great with our two cats - one kitten and one curmudgeon-y old girl. I loved the daily updates with pics. I will definitely book with Shana again for our next trip!

I will always hire Shana when she’s free. My only fear is that my kitty Alli might like her better than me 😻

5 stars for Shana Shafer! She showed up as scheduled; lovingly greeted my two kitties; fed each of them their own special foods, cleaned the cat box, and brought in my mail and newspapers. She sent pictures daily to my cell phone, which was so appreciated. I would definitely hire her again!

Shana is always so attentive and patient with my little girl, which shows her flexibility all cat personalities. It was such a delight to receive pictures of my kitty with her full food/water bowls while I was gone, and refreshing to come home to a clean litter box. Thank you as always Shana!!!!

I found this sitter contrary, demanding, condescending, difficult to communicate with and just very difficult to work with. Halfway through the reservation I called Meowtel to fire this sitter but they ignored my request, even though I’d found another sitter who had time and convinced me to give her another chance. I wish I hadn’t done so. I suggest that this sitter be AVOIDED.

Shana is a treasure. Our cats loved her immediately, and even after our absence of several days, were content and happy upon our return. Shana stroked and brushed the cats, and sent us daily pictures of them as well as their full food and water dishes, and their clean cat boxes. Thank you Shana!

Featured Cat Sitters Near Marysville, CA

Frequently Asked Questions

Marysville cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $29.00. 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.
