Learn More About Anna

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! My sweet kitties are Harley (grey) and Baxter (orange). Harley came into my life first at 6 1/2 months old, almost 14 years ago. He was a little anxious and not very playful for a long time until 6 years ago, when Baxter joined our family and changed everything. Baxter is about 10 now and came from a hoarding situation with many other cats. Thanks to Baxter’s insistence on being friends, a whole new side of Harley’s personality emerged. They play together every day and are both the sweetest, most affectionate cats. I feel incredibly lucky to share my life with them. Being a cat parent to these two is a big reason why I love caring for other cats too!

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

I know how personal it feels to leave your cat in the care of someone else. It’s a sensitive thing. But when you know what you’re looking for, and you find a sitter who genuinely loves cats, is patient, and believes in meeting your cat where they are, it could allow for the makings of a really great fit. And I also fully support cat parents who decide another option is better. This is about your needs just as much as your cat’s. At the end of the day, it’s about building a relationship grounded in trust and care, so everyone feels comfortable and safe.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

First off, I just want to share some love for all the timid and anxious cats out there who are just doing their best. I can imagine how sensitive they may feel, and I take extra care to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I speak in soft tones, move slowly, and give them plenty of space. I believe in meeting them exactly where they’re at with their needs and will never force an interaction. I also like to follow any tips or routines the cat parents suggest, because they know their cat best. My goal is always the same, to make sure these sweet kitties feel respected, cared for, and as comfortable as possible while their people are away.

The meeting and reservation were super easy to set up. Anna was great from the start. she totally understands cats which is important to me having grown up in a cat family and my cats are basically my kids. Tyler is of discerning taste and took to Anna while I was away. It was so much easier to enjoy my time out of the country knowing both my little ones were being checked on and cared for by someone who was doing it because she actually likes it and liked them. I got detailed updates, photos, and videos each visit which was also helpful because I missed them! I will definitely use Anna again in the future and was totally comfortable having her in my home.

Anna is amazing! She is patient and very loving with our kitties. We have a cat who is slow to warm up, and she opened up to Anna on her first visit. I would highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants someone to love their kitties as much as they do 💕

Anna was an awesome cat sitter. She was so particular in taking down all the notes about to take care of our cats. She also sent us a lot of pictures of our cats everyday. That was amazing. Thanks to Anna we had a completely stress free travel. We and our cats highly recommend Anna!

Anna was fantastic from the first meeting to the actual cat sitting :) She took care of my 15 year old senior cat and showed up reliably, followed instructions perfectly, and sent me tons of pics and videos of my sweet boy. My cat doesn't really play much but he did with Anna, which made me super happy because it's clear she spent time with him and bonded with him. Highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for cat care!

Anna has cared for our elderly son, Mickey, a few times now. She consistently goes above and beyond. Literally jumping over walls to get into our apartment after a key snafu. She's the absolute best.

Without a doubt the best cat care my cats have had! Anna has been kind, attentive, communicative, and patient with the needs of my cats - one of which has severe anxiety around new people. She really went above and beyond! Absolutely of lovely person who provided peace of mind for both myself and my cats. 10/10 would recommend!

I’m so glad I booked Anna to watch my cat. During our meet and greet, she asked lots of questions and took notes. You could tell she genuinely was interested in my cat and doing what she could to keep him happy and unstressed during our trip. My partner and I felt very comfortable having her in our home. She also sent great reports, photos, and videos after every visit. Overall I would definitely recommend her as a cat sitter and I would be more than happy to book her again.

Anna was excellent. At our first meeting she took notes, asked questions, and is generally a delightful person. My cats are very nervous around new people, yet by the 2nd and third days they were already coming out for pets and play. I received plenty of communication, photos and videos, and all the dishes were cleaned, cat food containers rinsed before being disposed of, etc. I’ll definitely call on Anna again.

Anna is a great cat sitter. I am always a little anxious leaving my cats, but she took great care of them. She sent lots of video and photo updates, and got my shy boy out to play. I will definitely have her watch my cats again and recommend her to friends.

Anna was fantastic! My often shy and scaredy cat found a best friend in Anna after one visit. Anna was thorough, timely, and professional. It felt great knowing my fuzzball was in good hands. I can’t recommend Anna enough and will be utilizing her services in the future.

Anna had taken care of my two cats numerous times and always treats them like they’re her own. I always know I can completely entrust them to her care and that she will not only be an exceptionally reliable sitter, but also give my cats all of the love and affection that I would if I were home. Anna is a quick and thorough communicator as well, which has always made coordinating cat care swift and easy. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter for their cats

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.
