Learn More About Sara

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have cared for my friend's kitties on a number of occasions off and on for decades.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Helping my friends, so they can go have a vacation or whatever without having to worry about their kitties at home.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I don't have one as I just started.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I did have a kitty, but she passed away last year of kidney disease.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Listen to your heart.

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

Asking questions about their kitty's routine. What is their favourite food, favourite toy, do they have any litter box issues, tummy trouble, quirks, etc.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

Double and triple check everything. When arriving, I look around to ascertain everything is just as I left it. I do a head count when arriving and departing. I always watch very carefully when I am entering and exiting because some kitties are FAST!! They can slip through the door so fast, and that can be disastrous. I always leave everything just as I found it.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes. I have no family, so holidays are open for me.

What is your favorite cat toy?

The ones I make myself after finding out that a number of kitties actually swallow the polyester fibrefill in mass produced toys and it can block their intestines. They are natural/organic cat toys with only cotton fabric and thread, organic catnip and krinkle cut paper that they are unlikely to swallow like the polyester fibrefill. I created these especially for my little cat who just passed away. I named them after my kitty

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

Give them their space, talk gently to them, walk around them slowly, give them their favourite treats.

Sara did a great job looking out for our cats while we were away, and we have a partially blind 1 year old that can get separation anxiety. Timely, responsive, kind, and she genuinely cares about animals. 10/10 Will book again if she's available for future travel. Thanks again Sara!

Frequently Asked Questions

Sacramento cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. 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.
