Learn More About Mericyn

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to meet and take care of new cats. I have two cats and can understand the anxiety of leaving them. Each cat has their own personality and it’s a treat to get to spend time with them. I want pet owners to know that their loved ones are being cared for so they can enjoy their time away without worrying.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My cats are Loki and Millie. Loki is a sweet troublemaker. He loves to play, be picked up, and most importantly be fed wet food. Millie is a bit more shy with strangers but is also a sweetie. They love to sit on the balcony and hang out with me while I work.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

It depends on the cat, but the bottom line is to meet them where they are. I’m a stranger in their house. Small things can include sitting calmly in an open space waiting for them to come to me, offering treats or play at a distance. I often suggest leaving a piece of my clothing at the house so that they can get used to my smell.

The care Mericyn put into our two cats was amazing! They quickly got comfortable with her and she was able to give attention to each cat equally. Mericyn was very good with being on time and good at paying attention to details. We would love to have her watch our cats on our next trip!

Mericyn was a life saver for me and my kitties while I was on vacation! she provided amazing updates and I could tell she really cared about my cats and gave them all the love 💕 She was reliable and trustworthy and sent me tons of pictures and even described my kitties behavior and assured me they were softening up to her and how playful they were! I also felt like my house was safe and cared for when she was here and she also helped with my packages that were delivered while I was gone. She was fantastic and I will be reaching out to her for any future cat sitting needs! :)

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.
