Lena is a true cat-whisperer and my cat loves her. That pretty much says it all; my cat is not a social type. She had not been well, with a skin issue and arthritis, and Lena coaxed her out of hiding and helped her regain her confidence to be more out in the world again. I am so thankful.

This is the second time Lena has looked after Willow and again I am so happy. Willow has (as Lena says) many boundaries (a hyper-cautious, ex-stray cat), and Lena was able to gently overcome many of those boundaries to have a positive rapport with my kitty. I felt so comfortable with her looking after Willow while I was away. She even fed the hummingbird family outside the kitchen window!

Lena took amazing care of our kittos, Loki & Baldur, while we were out of town. We received daily updates and photos from her, along with any updates or concerns. She also gave some great recommendations for us as our boys grow up. Thank you for the outstanding care you gave.

This is the second time Lena has taken care of our kittos and we couldn’t be happier! Daily updates and photos kept us in the loop. Our boys were in the best hands while we were gone!

Leaving your kitty for nearly two weeks is stressful but with a true “cat lady” ☺️like Lena I was relaxed from the beginning and all the way through. Communicating daily with excellent photos and informative texts was perfect, showing me a happy cat. And Lena is one of only a small handful of “strangers” who got Wizard talking to her and eating while she was watching. I could go on. Thank you, Lena

our shy kitty Willow is afraid of everyone but us, so it was a surprise to us seeing how over a few days she warmed up to Lena. for our cat to be in the same room with strangers when we are not around is a miracle, and apparently Lena performed one. she’s great and we will def call upon her services in the near future.

Lena was excellent in her care of Chester and Ellie. Her visit time schedule was consistent, to help add regularity for the cats. Not only did she send us lots of photos of them everyday; but also got them to pose for photos, and of them playing with her and their toys . She gave us descriptions of their behavior too, so we knew that they were happy with the experience. Lena was super friendly in her communication also. We are super happy with her services and plan to reach out before our next trip.

Lena has been a dream come true. Has been flexible, punctual, and very helpful in finding ways to get Cooper to take his meds, food, and water. He is now back on schedule with his meds and obviously feeling better and is more active. And he loves her and trusts her

My reservation with Lena was great. Her response times are very fast. She has great updates with good pictures. Our cat is very scared of people he doesn't know and she was able to pet him on the 2nd day. I highly recommend Lena and would use her again.

Lena did an amazing job with Totoro again. He is anxious when we are gone and takes a bit to warm up, but she was so patient with him!

Lena did a great job taking care of Bebe. Her updates were a great help to us to know how Bebe was doing, and she was prompt with a couple minor adjustments we needed to make with Bebe. Don't hesitate to trust your cat with Lena.

Lena was the best cat sitter I could’ve asked for. She stayed at my apartment for 12 hour chunks during the day, and not once did I feel anxious about it! She constantly gave me updates about how the cats were eating and acting, she sent a bunch of pictures every day too. I felt super confident in Lena doing everything the way I asked, and my kitties were taken care of perfectly! Book her ASAP!

Lena has an extremely good way with cats, is very good at giving Cooper his meds, and very knowledgeable about cats and treatments. She should be a Veteranarian Tech.

Lena was the perfect cat sitter! We have 3 cats with strong personalities, 2 of which don’t get along yet, & Lena was able to connect & care for each of them in their own way. She was responsive, detailed, & handled our senior kitty & his medicine with care. Definitely recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions

Milpitas cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $40.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
