As a lifelong cat lover and cat parent myself, I understand how important it is to leave your pets in the care of someone you trust. I am a reliable, communicative, and loving sitter who will give you that peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your cat is shy and needs patience, calm energy, and respect for their space, is full of energy and needs lots of interactive play, and/or social and needs extra pets and affection, I’ll be sure to provide them the care they need. Every cat has a unique personality, and I really enjoy getting to know their specific temperament and routine so they feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. Overall, I treat every cat how I’d want my own to be treated while I’m away, and will be sure to communicate well whenever they are in my care.

Learn More About Annabelle

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

I have worked as a pet sitter and house sitter since I was in college, and began cat sitting intermittently since moving to the bay in 2021.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two kitties, dot and george! Dot loves people and pets, george can be shy but loves to play and eat treats.

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

I let timid or anxious cats approach me and give them lots of time to adjust to my presence. I find the fastest way to freak out a cat is to force the interaction.

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 $38.00. 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 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!
