Learn More About Rik

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Meeting new cats and learning about their personalities and what they like. I get great joy when I can figure out what make they like (treats, toys, brushing, petting...etc.)

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Right now, I have a cat named Loki! I adopted him from the street. He is a big boy and super food motivated.

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

I'd like to chat and get to know what their needs are and see if there's anything I should keep an eye on. I totally don't mind meeting in person before hand if you need a vibe check.

Rik has been a total delight! She did an excellent job with the cat litter boxes and cleaning the area around it too. She clearly loves cats and we would be happy to hire her again in the future too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sacramento cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
