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.

Annabelle was amazing! She came by daily to check in on our two cats and fed them, played with them, and also made sure the litter box was clean. She also sent a lot of photos (which we love!) and shared updates on how the girls were doing. Highly recommend Annabelle!

Annabelle took wonderful care of our two senior girls, including handling their medication needs. She was attentive, dependable, and kept us well updated while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Annabelle and look forward to having her care for our girls again!

Annabelle has been my cat sitter for two years and she's the best! She takes such good care of my cats every time, with so much patience and warmth. They love her! I'm a Meowtel cat sitter myself and Annabelle is always my go-to when I need a cat sitter. She's also who I recommend to clients when I'm not able to cat sit myself. I highly recommend choosing Annabelle to care for your cats! You'll have so much peace of mind if you do.

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!
