Learn More About Brendan

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Each one has their own unique personality, so I like to tailor my care for each individual! For instance, I most enjoy petting and playing with social cats. However, I also love to silently read or study near cats, where we can simply enjoy the company of one another.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

Communication is key for me. I love to get to know the owner and their preferences and recommendations so that I can provide the best experience possible for their pets.

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

My main goal is to let them set the pace. I enter calmly, speaking softly, and avoiding direct eye contact until their approach on their own. It's crucial to not overstimulate or intimidate our furry friends, so I present myself as wamr and gentle as possible, letting the cat approach me on their terms, not the other way around. Sometimes, all it takes is allowing cats the space to sniff your hand, explore your bag, or simply observe you from a distance while they get adjusted.

Brendan has cat-sat for me many times throughout the years. He is remarkably warm, kind, and reliable. Beyond this, he is incredibly adaptable. Brendan is so skilled at tailoring to the needs of others that it still impresses me to this day. He is absolutely my number 1 choice for any cat- or other pet-sitting needs! I can't recommend him enough!

Brendan is easily one of the most reliable and trustworthy cat-sitters I've ever met. Whenever I'm out of town, I trust no one else but him to take care of my two cats and two dogs. He knows how to handle a handful, and he is extremely skilled in all facets of pet care! I've never met a sitter so kind, intelligent, and adaptable as Brendan. I can't recommend him enough!

Frequently Asked Questions

Riverside cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $29.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
