I'm Pauline | Cat Sitting in Oakland, CA
Hi there! I'm Pauline, and I've worked with cats and kittens since I was a student. While I am not a cat owner myself, I have volunteered at shelters both in Baltimore and Oakland, including Oakland Animal Services as a foster parent. I've since fostered over a dozen kittens and young cats, and have experience with socialization, feeds, and medication administration. I will ensure your kitties are happy, healthy, and safe while you are away. Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to working with you! NOTE ON TIMES: To ensure availability, please contact me through Meowtel to confirm availability prior to booking. I will be transparent on whether I can serve you and your cats well! My availability is largely restricted to evenings and weekends, as I am a healthcare worker. Short-term drop-in visit...
Pauline's Reviews
Jon
Pauline was very easy to work with and our cat Toby took to her right away. Definitely the right energy! She was very communicative and send us pictures and videos daily, which meant we didn't have anything to worry about on our vacation. She went the extra mile and watered all of our plants and grabbed our deliveries. Highly recommended!
Andre
Pauline was great! I needed someone to play with my cat while I was on a trip so he didn’t feel lonely, and I knew he would be in good hands after meeting Pauline. Would schedule again.
Michelle

Diane
terrific kitty support as always !
Sarah
Pauline is the BEST!! She always comes through for me when I'm going out of town. She is very consistent with her time and efficiency. Pauline is patient with my super shy cat and gets her to come out for feeding! Highly recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
