Cat Sitting in Oakland, CA

From zoomy kittens to sleepy elders, sassy to snuggly - I love them all! If you’re looking for cat care near you, I hope to be a purrfect fit!

As someone who worries when I spend time away from my cats, I understand how important it is that yours receive accurate, loving care while you’re away, along with informative and adorable updates for you. Who doesn’t love hearing about how amazing their cat is?

🐾 General Care 🐾
Cats love routine. Your care instructions will be followed to a T. I’m happy to feed kibbles or wet food, give attention (whether in pets, play, or a distanced greeting for the shy ones), and even clean litter boxes and hairballs (hey, it’s the price we pay for our babies)

💊 Medication 💊
I have experience administering medication across a variety of methods: pilling directly, hiding in food or treats, topical/transdermal, inhaler, and insulin injections via syringe.

I understand how stressful it can be for both cats and their pawrents...

💊 Medication 💊
I have experience administering medication across a variety of methods: pilling directly, hiding in food or treats, topical/transdermal, inhaler, and insulin injections via syringe.

I understand how stressful it can be for both cats and their pawrents. I take extra care to ensure that cats receive their meds accurately and in a manner that is most comfortable for them with lots of affection and praise.

Note for new clients: For a first booking with medication administration, I require a minimum visit length of 45 minutes. This ensures unrushed time to bond with your cat and verify all routines, instructions, and dosages.

🪴 Additional Services 🧹
I always leave things clean and tidy; no one wants to come home stepping on litter! I'm also happy to bring in mail or water your plants.

🚙 Location 🚙
I’m located in West Oakland and have my own vehicle which allows me to provide care in the surrounding areas such as Berkeley and Alameda.

📆 Availability 📆
When not caring for cats, I work remote doing marketing/account management - so I have a pretty flexible schedule.

I look forward to meeting you and your cats!

About My Kitties:

😻 Dutchess Mew
My little drama queen. She loves to bring “gifts” upstairs at night while meowing a victory opera, and her Busy Bee.

😼 Starlight Rey
My fluffy void. He’s a big fan of setting bear traps (exposing his belly to request 6.25 seconds of belly rub before clamping down his paws around my hand) and laying in the bathtub.

😸 Brooklyn Baby
My adorable little menace. Found her in a parking lot and now she lives a life full of snackies, stroller walks, and attacking anything and everything that jingles/moves/exists.

🐈 I also help care for and socialize a cat colony!

Learn More About Brennan

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Interacting with so many different purrsonalities! I get excited anytime I see a cat, so being able to pay my bills petting and complimenting cats is a dream come true. An unexpected joy has been the human interactions I've had! It's so fun when pawrents enjoy the humor I put into my updates and the fun photos of their kitties.

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

Reviews are a great way to find a purrfect sitter - if pawrents are taking the time to leave thoughtful reviews, that's a good indicator that the sitter made a meaningful impact caring for their fur babies 😸

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

Living with cats and a dog myself, I am conditioned to always be careful entering & exiting any door that leads outdoors. If your cat is a sneaky snake that tries to escape, I hold my backpack at cat-level as I enter - they're usually intrigued by this and don't have an opportunity to escape! I live in Oakland and am paranoid about my kitties getting out, so I always do a "triple check" when locking up!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! Aside from a couple days around Christmas, I am available most holidays. For any firework-heavy holidays I take extra care to give the kitties lots of love.

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

I understand how to find a balance of providing companionship without pressuring the cat (I, too, don't like my personal space invaded! 😹) I'm happy to say I've had multiple clients surprised to receive updates of their super shy cats purring or playing! While doing the cat chores I may put on some light music or bird sounds. I'm also happy to spend some time sitting on the ground "ignoring" them so they can see I'm not a threat and approach me or a toy when they're comfortable (or just stare me down - some are thrilled to do just that!)

Brennan took amazing care of my two cats who have very different personalities and needs. One of the cats requires twice daily medication and Brennan was able to provide that care as well. This was my first time have a cat sitter who was not a member of my family and Brennan was a smooth transition for both me and my cats. Thank you, Brennan!!

Brennan has been my kitty’s favorite human and a 1000% kitty angel for us this past year. They went above and beyond again caring for my sweet 18-year-and-8-month-old “young” boi, giving him the extra time he needs—and even handling his pawrent’s (me 😄) separation anxiety while I was away. After Brennan’s visit, my kitty always gives me the look of “oh, that’s you. Where’s Brennan?” when I come home 🤣 He was happy and looked even gained a little bit of weight which I was thrilled to see because it’s crucial to try maintaining weight for senior kitty with CKD… Brennan also recommended some kitty items that help my kitty’s senior age. I’m grateful that they generously shared Their deep knowledge and experiences with our fur babies! Brennan’s generosity, attention to detail, patience, and genuine kindness have been such a gift to us. And those daily updates with the cutest photos? The way Brennan captures my kitty’s other sweet little personality is just the best. Thank you again for everything, Brennan!! 🐾

Brennan took such wonderful care of Pepperoni Pizza & Apple Pie during our trip. Brennan has awesome communication, provided so many photos, tidied up the space from litter and some kitten-crimes, and truly understands animal companionship & care. This is also evident by how quickly our timid, skiddish cats got comfortable with Brennan. It's such a relief to know our meows are in such good care when we are away, and Brennan is top notch.

Brennan does an amazing job connecting with my persnickety kitties, playing with them and getting them engaged to build trust in order to administer needed medications. And also just because it’s fun — Brennan is a true cat-lover who really understands felines.

Brennan was fantastic! The extra time and attention spent with our two fur kids was so appreciated! It was our first time using Brennan and we are so glad we did! To the thoroughness of care to the silly photos we couldn’t have been happier. The cats said they want you as a babysitter again so we will be planning another trip soon!

Our crotchety older cat (who is quick to make people bleed if she gets annoyed), was very comfortable with Brennan immediately after meeting them. Brennan was reliable and responsive. I appreciated the pictures that Brennan sent while we were away. It can be hard to find a cat sitter who really loves cats, but Brennan is a true cat person :)

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.

Oakland 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 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!
