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’ve administered them in a variety of ways: pilling directly, hiding in food or treats, topical, inhaler, and insulin shots via syringe. I understand how stressful it can be for both cats and their parents...

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.

🪴 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 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 is my go-to sitter for my spicey orange boy and delicate tuxedo girl. My cats rave about their time with Brennan… all the treats and fun toys they get to play with. They have somehow managed to get my shy tuxedo out and playing, accepting pets. I always appreciate the detailed updates and National Geographic worthy photos/videos that they send. Sitting over the past year or so, Brennan has gone above and beyond helping me out with so many situations, ranging from bringing in packages, to cleaning up pee accidents, to providing me with guidance on adjusting my cats to a new litter box. I feel so comfortable leaving my babies knowing that their best friend Brennan will be taking excellent care of them.

Brennan is the absolute very best!! I can't say this enough. We feel so lucky to have found them. From the very beginning they put in so much extra love and effort to make our super shy kitty feel safe. Before Brennan, our fur baby would always hide from any cat sitter who came. Now, Brennan is the only other person in the world aside from us that he will greet and cuddle with. We're so grateful.

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!! 🐾

Honestly, I do not know how I can praise Brennan highly enough on this platform — they are literally a lifesaver. Why do I say that? I have two persnickety pusses and one of them has asthma and needs meds every day. The last housesitter I had never saw my second cat once, like not at all. She hid the whole time (and had a terrible asthma attack when I got back, resulting in her diagnosis). Needless to say I was an anxious momma leaving my two babies for a week (the other one needs meds too!), but Brennan really went the extra mile to connect with my two cats. Little Miss Magic went from hiding in a panic in the corner to demanding pets in two days thanks to Brennan’s patience and persistence, and got her full inhaler dose each day. They were also both MUCH calmer and more relaxed than usual when I got back, and had succumbed to the magic of the Feather Toy. Honestly I think Brennan made more time to play with them than I usually do and I think they are comparing me unfavorably to their new friend!! :-D So happy and grateful, thanks Brennan.

Brennan literally saved us at the very last minute reservation. They are above and beyond. They are patient, caring and trustworthy. I was looking forward to their updates with such detailed texts and great photos…they kept me going through a family emergency in overseas. IMy kitty went crazy with their homegrown cat nip, then they left us a sweet pot of the cat nip with my kitty’s pic! Brennan even typed the precise instructions before starting the sitting day to ensure we both understood. My 18 yr old sweet boy needs inhaler twice a day and other supplements for his CKD. So there were a lot of things we needed help with. Brennan was compassionate and understanding about my senior boy’s routine going while I had to go away..

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!
