I'm Caitlin | Cat Sitting in Oakland, CA
Hi kitty parents!! My 2024 resolution was to become the cool aunt / bff to every feline friend in the bay area! Could you 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 babysitt...

we have a hearing impaired kitty and a senior who needs medication and Caitlin is so caring and puuurfect. her photos and communication provide us with a sense of peace and happiness. she’s truly catttterriffic!!! Our kitties are so happy when we come home.

Caitlyn gets each of our four cat's distinct personalities and adapts to them. She plays with them in their preferred fashion and remembers their complicated dynamics amongst each other. Knowing she's available gives us peace of mind to travel more, knowing our cats will be well cared for.
Aimee
Cat, saved us on our wedding week one more original cat sitter canceled. it’s always nerve-racking having someone someone new come into your home that you’ve never met. cat couldn’t have been more perfect. she was a clear, precise communicator. she followed all her instructions to A T and Kitty loved her.
Danielle
Caitlin is the best cat sitter we’ve had using Meowtel. She sends updates with a lot of photos and descriptions of what my kitty and her are doing while she’s visiting. She also goes beyond the expectations and helped us with a little house issue we had while we were gone, and it actually meant a lot for us. I highly recommend Caitlin!
Nick
This was our second time having Caitlin watch our kitties and there's truly nobody else we'd rather have taking care of them. She's the absolute best, and we can't recommend her enough!

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 $44.00. 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.
