Learn More About Jacob
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been pet sitting for more than ten years. I have watched cats of all ages and of varying health.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love getting to know the animals and their habits. They can have varying personalities, and I like earning their trust and affection.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Yes, I have many cats! I have an orange cat named Wonky Cat who is an outdoor cat who is very vocal and very affectionate. I have two indoor cats who are sisters named Cinder and Clove who are bonded and have very different personalities, as well as another cat named LBK (Little Baby Kitty) who is much more shy and reserved, but love loves pets.

Great cat sitter for my cat. Consistent updates and speedy responses. My cat is on the shy side with strangers, but he didn't have any issues going to Jacob for 2 weeks. Would recommend and use 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.
Pleasanton cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $35.00. 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 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. 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 free Meet & Greet!

I highly recommend Jacob he’s been looking after our cats since 2018. We’ve been gone on trips as last three weeks at a time in another country. He’s been able to administer medicine to one of our cats Oreo. I totally trust him 100%.

I’m so thankful to have Jacob as a cat sitter and house sitter. My senior cat is everything to me, and he requires a lot of specialized care. I feel so comfortable leaving my cat with Jacob because I know Jacob will take fantastic care of him. Jacob is organized, on-time, detailed oriented, thoughtful, kind, and caring. Both my cat and I love Jacob! We are so lucky to have a sitter like him
