Pauline was amazing. We had three kitties and all with different feeding instructions, medication requirement, and types of feeders, which could be a lot. Pauline took very good care of everything!

Pauline was a pleasure to work with! From the pre-meeting, to the real time photos and updates she provided, she was very professional. She also explained how I could change my reservation from the 40 minute confirmation to a 20 minute confirmation, since that was all that I needed. I hope to work with Pauline in the future, when I need cat sitting services. Thanks Pauline! Joe

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!

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.

Pauline is a fantastic cat sitter who truly goes above and beyond. She was incredibly reliable and always kept us updated with regular communication and photos. Her attentiveness to our Oswald was wonderful—he was well-fed, entertained, and clearly happy in her care. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend Pauline to anyone in need of kitty-care!

Pauline came to the rescue once again for a last minute trip!! She is super flexible and responsive, she remembers my babies and they seemed to remember her too. Even my super shy girl came out to greet her on the first night. Highly recommend, as long as she can always help with my babies 😊

Pauline was warm, funny and kind. she made attempts at wooing our guy to his fav watering hole, coaxed him into play and spent genuine time making sure He was comfortable and cared for in her drop in visits. Pauline also proactively helped with a fridge delivery I hadn't expected and other packages, alerted me and did all that was asked for Thurston.. this wasn't an overnite so Thurston was a bit less robust in his affections and play time but definitely bonded each day more, gave a few wins to Pauline for her consistency of gentle efforts and got comfortable with his new lovely sitter showing up.and showed aome of his affection and cuteness- good traction and with a lil more time- he will be a bestie to Pauline ! We definitely will book time with Pauline again soon! I also appreciated the early morning visits as that's the key snuggle attention time our boy is very attached to. it made a difference for me and for Thurston!!!

Pauline catsat for our cat girl for a few nights and did a purrfect job! She came to our place in advance to meet our cat, was easy to communicate with and helped us out with a few surprises that popped up during our travels like getting packages and bringing them inside. She provided updates each day so we could be assured there were no issues while we were away. I'd definitely recommend her and would use her again myself in the future!

Pauline did an excellent job looking after Frank while we were taking a long weekend. She went above and beyond by searching our yard for him since he decided that he wanted an outdoor adventure while we were away. On day 2 he decided he needed some affection and Pauline sent us cute photos of our boy! She is extremely responsive and responsible and house was perfect and most importantly, kitty was happy and well cared for!

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.
