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

I started cat sitting with Meowtel in July 2024 and have been thoroughly enjoying it. I met cute, playful, and shy kitties. It gives me joy to figure out the personality of each cat and to find out what makes them comfortable. Some cats love to play or enjoy tummy rubs. The more shy ones just like to be close by, but not too close. I have looked after our neighbor’s older cat for years. When our neighbors are on holidays, I visit Kirby twice per day. It is a delight to hear her happy meows when I open the door and her purrs when I rub her tummy. Over the past 20 years, I have lived with 7 cats, including two stray cats who adopted me as their cat parent. I know when cats look unhappy or unwell.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love cat sitting because I feel I can make a difference on how a pet experiences the time while their owner is away. It is very rewarding being greeted by a furry friend at the door and hearing happy purring during a tummy rub.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

Our neighbors’s cat Kirby is a joy to look after. She greets me at the door each time I arrive at her house and she has the sweetest meow. She enjoys tummy rubs and rewards those with the loudest purrs.

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 $42.00. 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.
