Shaun has watched my cat a few times now, and I'll happily rebook with him. He pays attention to detail, captures very cute pictures, and manages my cat's liquid meds. Most important, kitty likes him!

Shaun takes such good care of our elderly guy, Elliot! We appreciate his great photos and updates a ton.

Finding a great cat sitter is so important, and Shaun exceeded all my expectations. It was my first time booking him, and he was fantastic with my shy cat, Bielo. The fact that Bielo warmed up to him so quickly is a true testament to Shaun's calm and caring nature. The pictures he sent were absolutely precious and a clear sign that Bi was content and well-cared for. Shaun's responsiveness and reassuring updates were a game-changer, giving me the peace of mind I needed to during my time away. I wholeheartedly recommend him to any pet tutor!

Shaun provided great care to our friendly cat. We appreciated the time he took for play and petting sessions, and he followed all our requests. He watered plants and removed litter to outdoor can so it was a nice fresh return from our holiday. Highly recommend!

Shaun was a wonderful playmate and caregiver to my two very needy kitties. He sent me descriptions of his time with my cats as well as photos, which put my mind at ease. I would absolutely book with Shaun again.

Shawn is very responsive to all communications and takes the cutest photos! He takes the time to find my hiding kitty so he can say hi, even if she isn't much in the mood, and let's us know about his visit.

Shaun was amazing with our kitties! This was our first experience with a cat sitter outside our friend circle, and it exceeded our expectations. Shaun visited us ahead of time to pick up the keys and get familiar with the cats' routines and needs. His updates during our honeymoon were fantastic, with lots of beautiful pictures and entertaining narrations of each visit - we looked forward to these every day! Even our shy kitty warmed up to Shaun quickly and made sure to perform some croissants on the floor for him. It was such a peace of mind to know that we had someone coming every day who genuinely loves cats and was able to give them all the love, cuddles, and treats when we couldn't. Our kitties were much happier and more relaxed when we came back compared to other trips. Needless to say, we already have Shaun booked for our next trip!

Shaun’s very detailed with photos and updates, and he was very friendly with both our cats, even got the shy one to come out at some points. Our kitties were very happy in his care.

When my original cat-sitter unexpectedly couldn’t cat-sit 2 days before my trip, Meowtel paired me up with Shaun as a replacement. He was super responsive and communicative, easy-going, and was able to get my shy kitty out from under the bed and giving aggressive head boops, cuddles, and kisses. I’m very thankful I was able to get a such great alternate sitter on such short notice and highly recommend Shaun. :)

Shaun was great with my senior kitty! He sent detailed daily updates and prepared and gave my kitty her daily meds. He is dependable and quick to respond to messages. Knowing that Kiki was getting cuddles and love from him while I was away put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend him!

My cat, Abu, has simply avoided previous sitters, but he took to Shaun immediately. Instead of dashing out the cat door, he would hang out with Shaun and allow petting and chatting. Shaun also was completely responsible in feeding Abu and taking care of the mail.

Shaun did an exceptional job caring for my senior cat Chupa. She recently had a decline in health and required multiple medications and special attention to food and litter box care. Shaun's attention to detail, affectionate snuggles and timely/comprehensive communication left us feeling at complete ease. He even made sure to close windows in our home to make sure we were safe and secure. I highly recommend booking him!

Frequently Asked Questions

Emeryville 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.
