I'm April

Cat Sitting in Rancho Cordova, CA

Hi, I’m April! I’m a former Registered Veterinary Technician and, more importantly, a lifelong cat person.

I’ve always felt that cats are family, and I love getting to know all the funny little personalities and quirks that make each one unique. My background as an RVT has given me years of experience caring for cats, including giving medications and paying attention to the little things that can tell you when something just isn’t quite right.

My own cats are a huge part of my life. Omen, my big black cat, walked into my life on Halloween 15 years ago. He is my familiar, my soulmate, and truly my heart. We’ve been through a lot together, and he has taught me so much about patience, compassion, and just how special the bond with a cat can be. He is absolutely the king of our house...
Hi, I’m April! I’m a former Registered Veterinary Technician and, more importantly, a lifelong cat person.

I’ve always felt that cats are family, and I love getting to know all the funny little personalities and quirks that make each one unique. My background as an RVT has given me years of experience caring for cats, including giving medications and paying attention to the little things that can tell you when something just isn’t quite right.

My own cats are a huge part of my life. Omen, my big black cat, walked into my life on Halloween 15 years ago. He is my familiar, my soulmate, and truly my heart. We’ve been through a lot together, and he has taught me so much about patience, compassion, and just how special the bond with a cat can be. He is absolutely the king of our house.

Then there’s Pyewacket, my goofy little clown. I rescued him from a UPS parking lot, and he quickly became family. He loves brushes, toys, and attention—and has plenty of personality of his own!

When I care for your cat, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to handle their normal routine, including feeding, fresh water, litter boxes, playtime, brushing, pets, cuddles, and plenty of quality time. I’m also happy to follow medication instructions when needed.

I’m gentle, dependable, punctual, clean, and respectful of your home. And I know how hard it can be to leave your babies behind. I’ll keep you updated with photos and videos and communicate with you throughout your time away.

At this point in my life, I’d much rather spend my days doing something I truly love—and that means being around cats. We get such a short time with our furry family members. I believe every moment counts, and I’d love to give your kitty some extra love while you’re away.

Learn More About April

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes, I have cats myself. Omen is my large black cat and my biggest baby. Pyewacket is my lovable Siamese clown.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love buying cat toys for my babies! Some of my favorites are feather toys, spring toys and laser lights.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I have a lot of experience with this, whether its been introducing new kitties to our home or handling shy cats in a vet environment. The best way to approach them is to quietly get on their level, being gentle and respecting their boundaries.

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.

Rancho Cordova cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. 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!
