I'm Andrew
Cat Sitting in Richmond, CA
Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience fostering cats—ranging from sweet littermates and mommas (including Henry’s mother!) to shy, feral kitties who needed extra patience and gentle understanding.
Whether your cat is an energetic social butterfly or a timid hider who needs space, I know how to read feline... Hi there! I’m a lifelong cat lover who has grown up around felines of every personality and temperament. I’m currently a proud parent to three wonderful cow cats: Henry (5), and my 11-month-old girls, Sadie and Jazz.
Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience fostering cats—ranging from sweet littermates and mommas (including Henry’s mother!) to shy, feral kitties who needed extra patience and gentle understanding.
Whether your cat is an energetic social butterfly or a timid hider who needs space, I know how to read feline body language to make sure they feel completely safe and respected in their own home.
Why choose me for your kitty care?
-Flexible & Reliable: I pride myself on easygoing communication, punctual visits, and adhering strictly to your cat's daily routine.
-Comprehensive Care: Fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, play sessions with their favorite toys, and plenty of gentle affection on their terms.
-Daily Updates: You’ll receive photo updates and detailed reports during every visit so you can enjoy your time away stress-free.
-Special Needs: My boy Henry requires Rx food, both wet and dry and daily supplemental hydration fluid so I’m comfortable caring for kitties who have different needs.
I look forward to meeting you and your furry family!
Learn More About Andrew
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have three cow cats. My boy Henry who is 5. And my girls Sadie & Jazz, 11 months, whom we adopted in February 2026.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
My goal is to give you peace of mind while keeping things zero-stress for your cats: -Meet & Greet: I learn their exact food and litter routine, entry details, and let your cats set the pace—whether they want to say hi or stay comfortably hidden. -Vet & Contact Info: I verify your primary vet, the nearest 24/7 emergency clinic, and a local backup contact in case you're unreachable. -Visit Schedule: We’ll set up a visit timing that matches your cats' normal routine to keep their day predictable. -Daily Updates: Every visit includes photos and an update so you know your kitties are safe and well cared for.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes, I am almost always available, especially during holidays when I know cat parents are most likely to need someone to watch their babies. You can rely on me to be there for food, fresh water, and maintaining the litter box, no matter the time of year.

Richmond cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $41.00. 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!
