Lena's Cat Sitting Service

I'm Lena

Cat Sitting in Milpitas, CA

Hi everyone!

My name is Lena and I absolutely love cats!! I always enjoyed having cats around and had them since I was a child. I actively started taking care of them when I was 14.

I recently moved to the US and left Cherry, my 10 year old kitty, with my mom and dad (they’re treating her like a spoiled grandchild as they should!!).

In my years long experience I have taken care of all kinds of cats: neighborhood strays, ferals, kittens, senior cats and of course, my own spoiled ones.

I’m currently in the process of changing careers so my schedule is pretty open and very flexible.

I have a car so I can reach areas outside Milpitas and San Jose with ease...
Hi everyone!

My name is Lena and I absolutely love cats!! I always enjoyed having cats around and had them since I was a child. I actively started taking care of them when I was 14.

I recently moved to the US and left Cherry, my 10 year old kitty, with my mom and dad (they’re treating her like a spoiled grandchild as they should!!).

In my years long experience I have taken care of all kinds of cats: neighborhood strays, ferals, kittens, senior cats and of course, my own spoiled ones.

I’m currently in the process of changing careers so my schedule is pretty open and very flexible.

I have a car so I can reach areas outside Milpitas and San Jose with ease.

I have cat sitting experience as well, the most recent ones with Mia, a beautiful tuxedo kitty in San Francisco, and Edie and Diego in New York.

I love cat sitting because I can’t have pets in my current apartment complex, so being able to take care of them through this channel brings me joy.
I also want people to feel safe and secure with entrusting their precious feline friends to someone that will care for them just as they would.

When approaching cats I’m unfamiliar with, I try to be as careful as possible. Talking softly and being mindful of my body movements as to not scare them.
Patience is key in the process and being respectful of their boundaries is just as important.
I believe that cats, but honestly all animals, need being treated gently and kindly, and as a cat sitter/cat lover I can provide that.

If you have any questions for me or you are curious about something, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’ll be happy to answer any and all questions!

Thank you!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

Milpitas cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $40.00. 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!
