Learn More About Sarah

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

I’ve been taking care of peoples pets for over 20 years. Cats, dogs, rabbits, fish and even rats! Cats are my ultimate favorite animal and happy to spend time with them in whatever capacity they require. Playing, brushing, feeding, cleaning and spoiling- whatever they need, I’m here for it.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Some people and some cats are very particular about their requirements for care. Don’t be afraid to ask for specific things you’d like your cat sitter to do, and remember there is no such thing as too much information! I always like to know if the cat has a particular eat/play/sleep schedule, if they’ve got allergies or snack preferences, how you like the litter box cleaned (where to dispose of the waste), and I always encourage people to leave their cats veterinary information, just in case any emergency arises.

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

I’ve found that spending time sitting or laying down on the floor is often a good start to get a timid or anxious cat to let its guard down. Usually after several minutes of being at their level, their curiosity gives them the courage to investigate me which will get them a treat reward for their bravery!

Frequently Asked Questions

Oakland cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $37.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
