Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite cat sitting reservation involved a large orange Cat named Calcifer. He’s very particular about his food, toys and where he likes to be scratched. His owner gave the okay on him being picked up by me and he stayed on my chest for the whole vist (45 minutes). She was extremely surprised and said that he normally jumps down after a few minutes and she’d love to know how I convinced him to stay.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Her name is Chocolate and she is the smartest kitty ever. She’s learned many tricks like sitting, high fiving, climbing on command and touching her nose to my hand wherever I place it. She is a Chantilly Tiffany and super people oriented. She coos like a pigeon and loves to lay on top of me.

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

I recommend once a day with no preference as this provides a lot of flexibility. I recommend booking 45 minutes for cats that are more social and 20 minutes for cats that only need their necessities met like litter changing and feeding.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I coordinate through the app and give them my number. From there we plan on a time to meet their cat/s and give the run down on what their process is like and keys if there are any. Then we talk about any expectations and how much contact they’d like. Often I’ll send a video and maybe some photos per visit and any other updates for the house and the cat/s.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

To ensure the saftey and security of the house I follow all rules given to a T. Before entering any entrances I always open the door slightly to make sure no cats ca bolt. I always return keys to pick boxes and scramble the code to ensure no one else can get in. Lastly I always check in about my departure so they know the house and cat are secure.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am usually available during the holidays and will often have availability due to working in schools and with the city’s parks and rec department.

Great Followup. My boys are very shy around people, but responded to her well. Clean and friendly. Good follow up after visit.. When I need another cat sitter I hope she will be available.

Muwazu has cared for my cat on many occasions for the past year and a half, and I highly recommend her! She is excellent at maintaining clear and consistent communication; I receive constant updates and photos from her visits with him. My cat is very picky about certain things, but Muwazu has patiently learned his quirks and formed such a great bond with him. When she has come over while I'm home, my cat will jump out of my lap to run to greet her! I have also met Muwazu's cat, who is clearly extremely well cared for, and is even clicker trained! All in all, Muwazu is an excellent cat sitter, and I will continue going to her to care for my little guy.

I’d say Muwazu is a great cat sitter because she is experienced and cats seem comfortable around her. She is a great cat owner in her own time and is on top of grooming, vet visits, and feeding schedules. She is thorough and reliable and communicative as well and will send updates and photos during her process. I felt safe leaving my pet with her and I would gladly book her again for my next trip!

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.
