A late breaking issue with our kitty required a switch from dry food (automated feeder) to wet (needs a human). Rather than have one of us stay home and miss a family trip, we looked for short term care options. Meowtel came up. I booked one day before our trip. Aki was available. She came by to meet the kitties the next day, took notes on their care routine and while we were performed their care for us. She also sent cute videos documenting everything and to let us know our kitties were feeling good and were in good hands. Thank you Aki!

Aki has watched my cats multiple times, and most recently watched them while I was on an international trip. She goes above and beyond and really gets to know my my cats personally and individualizes her care based on their personalities/needs. I have three very chaotic cats who definitely get anxiety when I’m gone(as do I) and Aki really helps alleviate that. When I get home, my apartment is clean and my cats are calm and cared for. I highly recommend her!

Aki was truly outstanding in her care for our kitties while we were gone on a long trip. She really went above and beyond, sending so many photos and videos, helping with plants and mail, buying an ant trap, and genuinely showing love to the cats. We have had good experiences with all of our sitters but Aki definitely takes the cake!

Aki did a wonderful job taking care of our fur baby Bianca during our 2-week trip to Japan. During each visit, Aki kept us informed with great photos and videos of Bianca and updates on her eating habits. She also kept Bianca's litter clean, documented her meals, watered our plants, and brought in packages that were left outside. Bianca is very shy and can be picky about who she opens up to, but she loved spending time with Aki, and we are very grateful for this. Thank you so much, Aki! We look forward to working with you again :)

Aki was absolutely perfect while watching my cat. She was so kind and caring towards my senior cat, during their first meeting and at every visit since. Her videoes and updates were so cute, and really helped me relax while being so far away. She also asked questions about things I didn't even think of, which was so helpful and really helped my cat be so much more comfortable during my absence. I'd happily have her back again!

Aki is a great cat sitter! She watched both my boys for 4 days and they adored her. One of our boys is shy and he still came out to see her during her visits. She is very thorough and sends a lot of pictures listing exactly what she did. She also sends a lot of cat pictures so we can see what they are up to while we are gone. Great experience, I will be booking with her again in the future.

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.

If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.

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!
