Emma's Reviews
Connie
Emma was the purrfect catsitter when my family was out of town. My senior kitty has Congestive Heart Failure and requires medication twice a day and Emma dutifully obliged and sent adorable pics and updates with each visit. I highly recommend her and will hire her again.
Susan
Emma was very responsive and every day sent photos and an update. It gave us peace of mind that our very social kitty had a friend visit every day!
Trish
Emma is the best cat sitter we have ever had! We had to travel for a funeral and had a lot going on. Her updates were so sweet, funny, and adorable, just the bit of comfort and levity we needed. She was super responsive and both of our cats loved her! One is a quite shy kitten who doesnβt accept many pets from strangers, but by day 2 Emma had won her over. Truly amazing and would absolutely hire her again (and again and again)! Thank you so much, Emma π©·
Andi
Emma was wonderful! She is very sweet with our two cats, and was great at eating our shy catβs trust quickly. Emma provided photos and updates with each visit. We could see how quickly our cats became comfortable with her. She is great at communicating updates and provided details about the medication she was administering to one of our kitties. We will definitely use Emma in the future and we highly recommend her to others. Thank you, Emma!

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 $38.00. 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.
