Kemi is an incredible cat sitter—reliable, gentle, and truly tuned in to each cat’s unique personality. She’s the kind of person who goes the extra mile to make sure your cat feels safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or just giving space when needed, Kemi understands how to connect. I always feel completely at ease leaving my cat in her hands, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Kemi has taken great care of my 2 senior cats, 14 and 16, giving them company and providing emotional support when I am on vacation. She has administered insulin and daily probiotic treats to my fur babies. She is responsible, respectful, and returns text messages promptly. She spontaneously will text me pictures of them while I am away. It's comforting to know they are in good hands while I am away from home.

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.
Riverside cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. 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!
