I genuinely appreciate how thoughtful and attentive Mary Kate has been while watching our high-energy kitten while we were traveling for a week! Not only was she helpful with a couple of packages, but she was also timely and responsive about any questions/concerns we had. She also made sure to send daily updates and lots of photos. It was clear our little fuzzball adores her! we would definitely work with Mary Kate again!

Mary Kate was a delight from the time she accepted my booking to her final update! I was concerned that our cat situation was going to sound complicated (indoor/outdoor cat, kittens, outdoor cats) but she quickly put me at ease and let me know we aren’t crazy. She sent great updates and handled one of the kittens getting a goopy eye situation perfectly. All the critters were calm and happy when we got home.

Mary Kate took great care of our Ninja while we were away. She visited once a day to feed and play with him. She sent daily photos with updates. Thanks so much! We’ll definitely use her again next time we need a sitter.

Mary Kate was an excellent cat sitter for us. After requesting her services on pretty short notice, she swiftly accepted and scheduled our meet and greet. She was caring and attentive with our cat Link, and was communicative during her visits with him. Thanks, Mary Kate!

Mary Kate did a wonderful job caring for my senior cat, Chupa. She was reliable and made fast friends with her as a snuggle buddy in our absence. I would definitely book her again!

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations.

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 $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. 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.
