Learn More About Shauna

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

I have had over 5 years of professional experience with cat sitting and taking care of other pets as well. I also managed to gain long term experience with socializing younger and older cats in their respective environments, taking care of all professional animal and boarding care while learning about each individual pet and providing the right exercise and routine tailored for their needs. I love providing my purpose and support to everyone that needs it.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy spending individual time with each cat and observing their unique behaviors. After I take care of the responsibilities that come with each cat, I love playing with the cats if they feel safe and comfortable around me. I love if I can offer them and let the cats feel a sense of light, warmth and encouragement and comfort in their home.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite cat sitting reservation was when I was working with a client and taking care of few of their lovely cats while they were traveling long term and I had the best time and experience. These 3 cats were so playful, energetic and loving and made the reservation unforgettable. I honestly remembered how fun it can be to spend time with the right cats and cats that are very comfortable and affectionate make the experience even more enjoyable. I love watching and helping cats warm up to me and to their loving environments.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a sweet boy cat that loves the outdoors and being inside. His name is Eddie! He is the most affectionate, vocal and cuddly cat that I have ever had my whole life being around different cats. He always lights up the room with his friendly and playful personality and he is always in the mood for a session of playtime.

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

First I always remove my shoes, I make sure that the cat(s) know that I have entered and if they prefer hearing keys I safely let the cats know that I am their home. The windows and doors are secured and closed depending on if they preferred to be open throughout the day depending on if the cats go outside. I ensure that each pet that is in my trusted care feels safe, cared for and never feeling alone. While also looking after and maintaining peace of mind and protection in your home.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I’m usually available on holidays for recurring and new clients that are always looking for last minute and long term support.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love to spend individual time playing with cats if they’re comfortable enough every visit. I love using a laser toy to give the cats exercise and additional fun. Another favorite would be either using a peacock feather or a long feather toy to stimulate them and provide loving attention.

Shauna did a great job caring for my four boys well I was out of town! she followed all the instructions just as I asked, ensured that all the medications were given, gave each of the boys some love, and let them spend time on their catio each day. My cats warmed up to her really fast, even my anxious boy Ender. Ender seemed to really like Shauna and showed no signs of separation anxiety when I returned. She was also great about giving me detailed updates and sending pictures which helped me relax and be able to enjoy my time away. I would definitely recommend her to other cat owners looking for a sitter!

My usually very shy cats warmed up to Shauna quickly. She took the time to get to know them and respect their space. By the end of her time they were coming out for cuddles and play. Will definitely contact her again for any future needs.

Shauna did a wonderful job watching over my babies while I was gone for a couple of days. Shauna came over for a meet and greet and was attentive to what I was requesting. She sent me updates and photos of the babies. I was relueved to see that they had warmed up to her! Everything looked taken care of when I returned home. Would definitely book with Shauna again. (:

I was looking for a cat sitter but ended up hiring Shauna the first time to help give my cat medication. Shauna assisted me for seven days in a row in putting liquid medication in my cat's ears. I could not have done this without Shauna! She has since cat sitted for me for two days (and I have reserved her for an upcoming 8-day trip). On the two days she came to my house to feed my cat she provided me with great updates (and photos!). I can tell that Shauna takes her job very seriously and that she loves cats. I can trust her to treat my cat just like it's her own.

Shauna has a special touch with cats! My cat is generally not comfortable with anyone other than me. Shauna was able to help her relax and even play with her. Amazing!

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.
