Learn More About Natalie

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been cat sitting for a while now and I’ve learned so much along the way. Having 2 young cats of my own helps tremendously too.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is getting to know your cats quirks and personality. It brings me alot of joy when cats are comfortable and confident while I hang out with them.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite cat sitting reservation would have to be Ham & Cheese. They are 2 sweet “brothers” who enjoy chirping at their wand toys when I play with them. So fun!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 2 black cats named Fern (girl) and Yuzu (boy).

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

My advice to prospective customers would be to look for a cat sitter with a passion for animals.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

My typical process is to first and foremost establish a meet and greet. At the meet and greet I’d like to get to know you, your cat, and their routine. I also want to know the locations of cat food, water, litter, and cleaning products. And lastly, instructions for retrieving key/entry to your residence.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I ensure safety by always being soft spoken and kind to the cats. If they are open to it, I will pet them and play with them. And of course, I always make sure doors, windows, and cabinets are closed.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I am usually available during holidays unless my calander suggests otherwise.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toy is the Cat Dancer!

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

When cats are timid or anxious I will try to speak softly and even offer them a Churu. I also try to give them space to become familiar with my scent.

Natalie was amazing and very accommodating of my changing schedule. Great communication - She provided great photos and detailed updates all throughout the 7 day sit. I'm pretty sure my cat had a better time playing with Natalie than with me. I highly recommend and will be requesting her help again.

Natalie took such good care of our boys and gave us updates and lots of pictures! She went above and beyond to make sure the boys were cared for, played with, and loved. She even brought little freezer dried treats and left us some adorable Polaroids as keepsakes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:


  • More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
  • 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.
  • Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.

All refunds are initially applied to the Cat Parent's Meowtel Account Balance for use toward a future reservation or tip. Funds may be returned to the original payment method at any time.

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.

Monterey cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $27.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
