Cat Sitting in Petaluma, CA

I am a verified cat-fanatic and have been since I was little and would feed the strays in my neighborhood and then adopt out the kittens. Once I had my own family the first thing I wanted was a cat for my children to learn responsibility and care for animals. I have volunteered at a cat and dog rescue in NJ for over 5 years where I fostered over 100 kittens and cats and sifted through many adoption applications- each kitten was like my own.
I have 3 wonderful but very different Siamese cats and a male domestic shorthair rescue that I adore and understand that life is always better when shared with a cat or two! Looking forward to meeting your own feline family members that I will take care as if were my own! I recently moved to The Bay Area last year now living in beautiful Petaluma.

We couldn't be happier with the care our cats received! Laura our cat sitter was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. She even seamlessly connected with our 20-year-old grand dame of the household! We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that our cats were comfortable, well cared for, and receiving plenty of attention. Coming home to happy, satisfied pets was the best confirmation that they had been in excellent hands. Highly recommend! A++++

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…Laura is a wonderful cat sitter! I’m so lucky I found her, and my three fur babies are even luckier! She is reliable, attentive and genuinely caring. She took excellent care of the crew, kept me frequently updated and most of all, gave me the peace of mind I needed to relax and not worry. I returned to see happy, relaxed kitties and look forward to having her watch them again! Highly recommend!!!

Laura was responsible, responsive, and sweet. She came over for a meet and greet, even though she was only going to be here for one day. She was kind with Sophie and managed to get her to allow brushing on the first try! We look forward to having her again.

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.

Petaluma cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $43.00. 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!
