I have a rescue calico name Sasha š
Bringing Sasha š» home from the SPCA taught me how important patience, trust, and consistency are in helping her feel safe and loved.
Whether your cat is playful or prefers quiet companionship, I take the time to understand their personality and provide the care they need. During visits, I make sure food and water are refreshed, litter boxes are cleaned, and your cat receives plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection on their terms. Iāll keep you updated with photos and messages while youāre away so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I like to start with a meet-and-greet so I can get to know both you and your cat. Weāll go over feeding schedules, favorite toys, routines, medications (if needed), and any quirks that make your cat unique. During visits, I make sure your cat has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of attention. I also send updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your cat is being well cared for.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I am very detail-oriented when it comes to caring for both you cat(s) and your home. Before each visit, I carefully review the care instructions so I know the feeding routine, litter box setup, preferred hiding spots, and any special notes. I am also someon who double- and triple-checks things. Before ending a visit, I will do a final walkthrough to confirm everything is in place: food, water, litter, lights, locks, and anything else requested. I will also send updates and photos so you know exactly how your cat is doing and that your home was left secure.
What is your favorite cat toy?
My favorite ātoyā is actually a combination of interactive play and treats. My rescue, Sasha, is very food motivated and gets bored with traditional toys pretty quickly, so Iāve learned to make playtime feel more like a real hunt. I use laser pointers, feather wands, or toys that let her stalk, chase, and pounce. Once she has successfully ācaughtā her target, she gets a small treat as a reward. I love this approach because it taps into a her natural hunting instincts and keeps her mentally engaged. One of my favorite parts of cat sitting is figuring out what motivates each cat and finding the toys, games, and activities that bring out their personality.

āāāāā Vishal was amazing with our kitties, Theo and Tessa, while we were away on vacation from July 4ā15! We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. He followed all of our feeding instructions, made sure they had the proper servings of wet food, and spent time playing with and grooming them. He also checked their water fountain and Litter-Robot to make sure everything was working properly. We especially loved getting daily updates and picturesāit was so nice seeing our babies happy and well taken care of while we were away. Theo and Tessa absolutely love him! š» Vishal is reliable, caring, and very attentive. Definitely 5 stars! We will absolutely hire him again for our future trips and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wonderful and trustworthy cat sitter! ā¤ļøš¾

Vishal took such good care of the boys! He updated us daily and took the time to make Oliver, the anxious baby, comfortable with him. It took a lot off my mind knowing they were in such good hands.

Vishal took such good care of my two cats. Not only was he dedicated, prompt, and organized, he clearly was an incredible cat caregiver in my absence. When I returned my cats seemed very pleased and not anxious at all despite my week-long vacation, and I chalk this up to Vishal's depth of attention in caring for my cats. Every visit he gave a detailed review, with wonderful photos and videos. I highly recommend selecting Vishal as your cat caregiver. He has his own cat and lots of experience.

San Bruno cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $40.00. 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!

I had Vishal take care of my cat Salem when I was at work and we were having apartment inspections and fire alarm testing. Vishal did a great job watching Salem when I needed him. He made sure he had a safe place to be and checked in on him regularly so he wouldnāt feel lonely. He also sent me regular updates so I knew he was ok and wouldnāt be an anxious mother. 10/10 would recommend
