Meow! I'm Melanie, a Cat Sitter in , CA
Hey there, I am Melanie, and of course, I love cats! I got my first cat Sammy, after a dentist appointment when I was 8 years old. My mom took me to the SPCA and told me to pick whichever cat I wanted. I chose the quiet long haired grey cat. I have shared my home with several cats over the years and have come to realize I don't want to live without one. For me, there is no greater joy than to come home to my cats greeting me at the door.

Melanie did such an awesome job taking care of my kitty, Mellie. She was on time from our first meet-up and had such a friendly, lively presence. She made sure to get the info she needed to care for Mellie and we shared some laughs over the struggles and joys of being cat parents. Each day Melanie made sure Mellie got the right food and sent cute pictures/videos of her visit. She spotted some puke on her first visit and made sure it was cleaned up, and she remembered we wanted our bedroom door to stay shut (she had to close it after our building maintenance left it open during a fire alarm check). She also asked in advance about bringing a toy to see if Mellie would like it, which I found so thoughtful and really showed she cared about my cat's happiness. :) Loved having her as a cat sitter and hope to book her again!

Frequently Asked Questions
The average price for a cat sitter is $33.00.
Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel. 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.
