I'm Caitlin | Cat Sitting in Oakland, CA
Hi kitty parents!! My 2025 resolution was to become the cool aunt / bff to every feline friend in the bay area! Could you please help me achieve that?? I am the parent of two rescue cats, Mushroom and Sprankers, and both are special needs. Mushroom has terrible allergies that I attend to on a daily basis, and Sprankers is FIV+ so needless to say every time I hear a cough or a sneeze I instantly become a helicopter parent. I worked for Vans as a store manager for 12+ years, and learned a myriad of useful skills there that I can translate to being the best babys...

Caitlin's Reviews
Laura
caitlin is the best cool aunt - our shy cats love her and she sends the most adorable photo updates.11/10 would recommend
Nicholas
Caitlin does an amazing job taking care of our 2 cats. They both warmed up to her very quickly despite being shy (especially our younger one). I feel so much more at ease knowing that she is caring for them while we are away.
Sophia
Caitlin is truly the best. I have a very difficult kitty who needs daily medication, and Caitlin handles it like a champ. I don’t know what I would do without her!
Sandrine
this is our third time booking Caitlin! her updates are perfect, and in every photo you can see the care and love she puts into her visits and into the cats. it’s so easy to see that they love her. we are extremely grateful for her!
Elisabeth
Caitlin is the best! I cat tell that our cats are more relaxed with her than with other sitters based on the update photos. She also goes above and beyond with duties, such as bringing in packages for us.

Frequently Asked Questions
Oakland cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $38.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.
Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
