Cat Sitting in Menlo Park, CA

Hi all, I have recently moved to the Menlo Park area! I have been cat sitting with Meowtel since 2021 in NYC, and it has been the joy of my life! I really appreciate my time caring for the kitties of Meowtel, and meeting their humans!

Ever since I was a little girl, I have been enamored by cats. My Dad never let us have cats, but luckily, our neighbor always had at least 3, so my sister and I spent more time there than in our own home :).

Cats are the sweetest, gen...
Hi all, I have recently moved to the Menlo Park area! I have been cat sitting with Meowtel since 2021 in NYC, and it has been the joy of my life! I really appreciate my time caring for the kitties of Meowtel, and meeting their humans!

Ever since I was a little girl, I have been enamored by cats. My Dad never let us have cats, but luckily, our neighbor always had at least 3, so my sister and I spent more time there than in our own home :).

Cats are the sweetest, gentlest, and most adorable animals. I'd love to care for your cats when you're away or just need an extra hand! I'll send you updates after every visit - pictures, how your cat(s) is eating/acting, and whatever else you want to know. I know what it's like to be a little anxious about what's going on back home when I'm away, so trust me, I know how you feel. You're in good hands!

Also happy to water plants, bring mail in, or any basic home care needed when you’re away!

Can’t say enough good things about Mary! We are always at ease knowing Mary is taking great care of our kitty. She is always on time, very communicative, and sends the cutest pictures. She has done an amazing job giving our cat his heart medication and updating us that he took it successfully each time. We ❤️ Mary!!

We can't recommend Mary enough! Rosalind (our cat) is usually very shy and hides from everyone, but she warmed up quickly and has been communicating so well with her. It's clear she has a special way with cats—absolutely awesome!

Mary was wonderful to work with! She takes a ton of photos and was clearly really fun to play with for my cat George which helped me feel relaxed on vacation. She also took pics of his food and water bowls when refilled and clean litter box which was something I’ve never had on here but made me feel much better. Overall, I couldn’t recommend Mary more, she was amazing and I know I will feel comfortable going forward with her watching George when I’m away!

Mary is an amazing cat sitter and lovely human! She went above and beyond in checking in with us and sending updates, helping us feel less anxious about leaving our fur baby alone and confident that he was being well taken care of (including receiving his medication). We feel so lucky to have found her!

We always hope that Mary is available when we leave town because she takes such perfect care of our cat and it makes us feel such at ease! Mary always sends the best photos and our cat loves when she visits because she knows she will get so much attention, playtime and treats!

My cat is extremely shy and hides from people but Mary Michael never gave up and always found her and sent me photos of her and her food situation. I felt I could really enjoy my vacation because I wasn’t worried my baby had gotten into something or was not eating. Mary Michael really went above and beyond and I cannot recommend her enough

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.

Menlo Park cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $38.00. 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!
