Cat Sitting in Oakland, CA
Choosing me as your kitty caretaker means clear and purposeful communication about your cat, their routines followed and needs met. It also means access to beginner training (introduction to clicker training or tricks like sitting and high fiving) if you’re interested.
I am a proud cat mom of a highly motivated and well trained 6y/o Chantilly-Tiffany. I love training and have taught her to spin, stand, jump, climb, high five and more!... Welcome!
Choosing me as your kitty caretaker means clear and purposeful communication about your cat, their routines followed and needs met. It also means access to beginner training (introduction to clicker training or tricks like sitting and high fiving) if you’re interested.
I am a proud cat mom of a highly motivated and well trained 6y/o Chantilly-Tiffany. I love training and have taught her to spin, stand, jump, climb, high five and more! I’ve taught more than a few cats to sit and hope I can help your ball of love do the same if you so desire.
I grew up with cats in the home and love to find their favorite places to be scratched and toys to play with, often encouraging jumping and foraging. I welcome every cat interaction with love and patience as they are the best companion. Earning their trust is always my goal and finding the right pace is important. As a cat mom, I understand how nerve racking it can be to not recieve updates or enough photos or know if someone has followed your instructions the way you want so I try my best to alleviate that worry!
Learn More About Muwazu
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.

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.

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.
If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.
Oakland cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $39.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.
Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a 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. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a Meet & Greet!

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!
