Taylor's Loving Kitty Sitting San Jose

I'm Taylor

Cat Sitting in San Jose, CA

*FOR THANKSGIVING, CHRISTMAS EVE AND CHRISTMAS, I PREFER 1X A DAY VISITS OR FLEXIBILITY FOR TIMES OF VISITS. AFTER THOSE DAYS, NORMAL VISITS ARE FINE TO RESUME:)*
I have always had a “thing” for animals in general, but cats have always been a type of animal that I closely relate to. I enjoy their spunk, willingness to express exactly what they want, and very obvious body language cues. I LOVE having something to care for and it would help me feel closer to cats again after my longtime buddy, Alex, died of old age. I have a kitty named Winston (8, on banner) whom I adopted at age 8, Eleanor (5), Phoebe (2), and Indigo, Wilbur and Octavia (6 month fosters). I also have an Aussie puppy named Toby and a chihuahua mix Carmela! I have a mainly open schedule as I am a graduate behavioral science student at SJSU and would be very willing to adjust my schedule for any cat who needs it...

I also have an Aussie puppy named Toby and a chihuahua mix Carmela! I have a mainly open schedule as I am a graduate behavioral science student at SJSU and would be very willing to adjust my schedule for any cat who needs it. I have experience with medications, insulin injections, eyedrops, disease management and topicals as well as with cats of all personality types with a knack for reading their energy.

I also have a background in plant care, so I am more than willing to take care of house plants/outdoor plants if need be at any point.

Typical care for me in a sitting session can also involve taking in mail, basic tidying related to the cats and/or myself, grooming of the cat (nail trims, brushing, whatever is needed), feeding, watering, and administering medications, as well as as much play time as you choose. You can expect to return to your home with an equally if not more clean home than what you left from:)

As for my covid safety measures, I will be hand sanitizing prior to entrance into your home, and immediately hand washing before petting or feeding your pet. I will be masked for the entire duration of the stay if that would make the client more comfortable. I am double vaccinated (and boosted) with Pfizer and would be willing to show proof of vaccination if need be at the initiation meetup.

Thank you for viewing my listing, message me if you are interested in reserving my time for your pet!

Taylor was great! She was very accommodating of my last minute request. I feel confident she followed my care instructions (which included giving my cat pills), paid attention to details, and was communicative and responsive. She picked up on my cat’s shy energy and did not overstress him. This was a short 2-day visit, but I would book her again in the future.

Taylor was great at letting me know all the details of the visit. I have a very ill cat and she was attentive and caring to him and his medications. My extremely shy and skittish cat was out when she was there and even ate in front of her!

Taylor was an amazing cat sitter - I can’t say enough good things about her!! We have a multi-cat household including one very shy kitty who requires a daily medication and a prescription diet. Taylor was gentle and patient with him and made sure he was comfortable. She carefully followed all of the instructions we laid out and our kitties seem to love her. She went above and beyond - even cleaning up after our kitties made a mess overnight! Taylor clearly loves/understands cats and we felt confident in her ability to handle any issues that came up. I would absolutely book Taylor again in a heartbeat, and I would highly recommend that you book her too!!

Taylor is my go-to cat sitter, and I (and my kitties) absolutely adore her. She adapts easily to the needs of each cat, and it’s easy to see how much she cares. She’s always willing to go above and beyond to make sure each cat is well taken care of. For example, one of my cats started a medication shortly before I went out of town. Not only did Taylor enthusiastically agree to give him the med, but she also experimented with different strategies for administration so that I would be better equipped to give it to him when I got home. ❤️

Taylor was great at providing daily updates on how our cat was doing. She was also able to start giving medication to our cat midway through our reservation when our cat's sinus congestion got really bad. This eased our concerns and helped us to know our cat was taken care of.

I am a feline veterinarian and I am very particular about the care of my cats. I think Taylor is a wonderful cat sitter. She played with my cats and sent me photos each day. I felt comfortable with her in my home without me there. She also took care of my plants! I know she would be able to respond to any cat medical concern or emergency. I will definitely be using her in the future to take care of my babies.

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 Jose cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $39.00. 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!
