I'm Susanne | Cat Sitting in San Jose, CA

Hello cat parents and clients, I have flexible availabilities as a cat sitter in 2025 and am looking forward to meeting you and caring for your furry friends.

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.

we left our kitty Merlin in Susanne’s care for the first time this weekend. Susanne put us at ease with her detailed updates and quick responses. Merlin loved her and was a happy guy when we returned. So thankful for Susanne and will work with her in the future!
