I'm Pauline | Cat Sitting in Oakland, CA

Hi there! I'm Pauline, and I've worked with cats and kittens since I was a student. While I am not a cat owner myself, I have volunteered at shelters both in Baltimore and Oakland, including Oakland Animal Services as a foster parent. I've since fostered over a dozen kittens and young cats, and have experience with socialization, feeds, and medication administration. I will ensure your kitties are happy, healthy, and safe while you are away. Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to working with you! NOTE ON TIMES: To ensure availability, please contact me through Meowtel to confirm availability prior to booking. I will be transparent on whether I can serve you and your cats well! My availability is largely restricted to evenings and weekends, as I am a healthcare worker. Short-term drop-in visit...

Pauline was great! I needed a last minute booking for a trip and she quickly came through. Pauline was great with both my super senior cats and even got my shy 3yr old to come out from under the bed!! Pauline followed all my instructions and was very consistent with her visit. Would recommend and will definitely book in the future!

Pauline is always great with our kitties! I appreciate her updates on how they’re doing, and we always come back home to find our kitties happy and cared for.

Pauline was warm, funny and kind. she made attempts at wooing our guy to his fav watering hole, coaxed him into play and spent genuine time making sure He was comfortable and cared for in her drop in visits. Pauline also proactively helped with a fridge delivery I hadn't expected and other packages, alerted me and did all that was asked for Thurston.. this wasn't an overnite so Thurston was a bit less robust in his affections and play time but definitely bonded each day more, gave a few wins to Pauline for her consistency of gentle efforts and got comfortable with his new lovely sitter showing up.and showed aome of his affection and cuteness- good traction and with a lil more time- he will be a bestie to Pauline ! We definitely will book time with Pauline again soon! I also appreciated the early morning visits as that's the key snuggle attention time our boy is very attached to. it made a difference for me and for Thurston!!!

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
