We've used Anke twice, and will be relying on her EVERY TIME we need someone to look after our cat. I think our cat would like her to stop by every day...whether we're home or not!

Anke was awesome! She bonded so quickly with my two cats and took great care of them. Even my shy cat liked her as well. Anke really cared about the wellbeing of my cats and made sure they both got food, water, clean litter box and playtime. She kept my place really clean as well which I really appreciate. I would definitely recommend her and would come back in the future when I need help caring for the kitties again.

Anke was absolutely amazing with our cat, Kirito! From the moment we connected, she was warm, professional, and incredibly attentive. She sent us regular updates (which we loved!) and went above and beyond to make sure Kirito was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was clear she really bonded with him, and that kind of trust is priceless. We felt so at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I would 100% book with Anke again, she’s a gem of a cat sitter!

Anke is fantastic! She’s looked after my cat several times now and I trust her completely. She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. I always feel at ease knowing my cat is in her care. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Anke!. This was the second time she has cared for my cats, Sawyer and Kate. I was away for a week. She sent daily pictures and videos of her visits. In addition to scooping their litter boxes and feeding them, Anke petted and played with them and swept the floor of scattered litter. Anke is everything I expect in a cat sitter.

We were at ease knowing Anke was taking care of our 2 cats (one of which needed to take his medication). She always communicated clearly, gave the cats lots of love, and went the extra distance to make sure everything was clean and tidy. Would definitely hire Anke again.

Anke was great, she took great care of Pixar and provided timely and detailed updates! Even with our cat being shy, he was able to warm up with her and come out to interact with Anke. He was happy and relaxed when we returned from our trip. We totally recommend Anke! Thanks!

Anke did a fantastic job looking after our 9 month old kittens; She was punctual, very responsive, sent daily photos and videos and made sure their room was tidy. We had an ant issue and she was great about taking care of that as well as providing unplanned tech support when our kitty cam went down. I would not hesitate to have her look after our kittens the next time we’re out of town.

Hi Anke, just wanted to say thank you for the excellent service. You followed our instructions perfectly—and even went above and beyond. We really appreciated the daily updates with pictures and videos while we were away, showing the tasks being taken care of. Your reliability and attention to detail mean a lot to us, and we will definitely use your services again.

Anke was very professional and experienced. She rose to the challenges of my senior cats and was able to provide the special care they needed (including oral medications for a spicy tortie). She was also diligent about fulfilling the special requests I had. Anke's communication was very responsive. From general communications to the status updates each visit, I never felt like she was unreachable. I will definitely be going back to Anke in the future!

Anke is wonderful looking after my shy feral cat and her friends. I appreciate the photo updates so I know she’s doing ok while I’m traveling. Anke is also very kind about coming early since my cat likes an early breakfast. This is my second time booking with Anke, and I will certainly do so again for future cat sitting needs. Many thanks!

I was away for two weeks and I chose Anke to take care of my two nine-year-old cats, Sawyer and Kate . Anke came every morning and followed my instructions reliably. She scooped the litter box, swept the litter off the floor, changed their water, and played with Sawyer. Kate was shy and stayed in the closet or under the bed most days, but finally came out toward the end of the two weeks. Anke did a terrific job caring for my cats. I highly recommend her, and plan to use her the next time I'm out of town.

Anke was fantastic at taking care of my cat while I was out of town. She was thorough and careful with all the care requests and was also adaptable when we needed to add a last minute medication change. She sent so many great photos and videos not only of my cat but also of food, water, litter box, etc to ensure I was up to date on care. Thank you Anke for being super helpful in taking care of my senior cat!

Sarah
Anke was simply wonderful! She took excellent care of our two kittens, sending photos and videos, updating us on how they’re doing and staying in communication everyday. Anke followed my instructions on refilling the automatic feeders, cleaning the litter boxes, and letting air into the house. She made being away from our kitties much easier. I highly recommend her because not only is she reliable, Anke has the most cheerful, loving personality towards our kittens. From her videos, I could tell that they love her and that they were very happy and stimulated while we were away.

Anke was AMAZING! Above and beyond with watching our adult cat, Grizzly. He immediately fell in love with her and was so happy every time she visited. Anke sent daily messages with updates, multiple photos, and videos. She even did more cleaning than expected because our guy gets litter everywhere! Seriously- Anke was incredible and I’m SO happy to have found her! Thank you thank you thank you!

Anke was an incredible cat sitter—thoughtful, communicative, reliable, and very kind to our weird cat. Our cat takes a while to warm up to new people, and Anke put in the time and effort to become her new best friend. I was traveling internationally and accidentally gave Anke the wrong code to get into our house on Day 1. She called and messaged, but I was fast asleep on the other side of the world. Rather than leave, Anke stayed and played with our cat through the window so she still got some attention. Once I got back to her with the correct code, she went first thing in the morning to ensure our cat was happy and fed. I’ll definitely be using Anke’s services again. 10/10. A+. 100%.

Anke was great, sending me many photos, and was also helpful in visiting at the time my cat is used to getting food. I was able to relax and enjoy visiting my family because I my cat was being taken care of. The next time I need a cat sitter, I will definitely be a return customer!

Anke accepted my reservation last minute and did a great job caring for my baby. She responds quickly to messages and sends plenty of photos to assure you everything is going well. She's thoughtful and careful with shy cats. She even left a note with some treats for me and my cat after the reservation ❤️

Frequently Asked Questions
San Jose cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $37.00. 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.
