I'm Taylor
Cat Sitting in San Jose, CA
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... *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 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 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.

Taylor did a great job of taking care of our cats while we were out of town for a long weekend. She’s very thorough and responsive, which really gives us peace of mind. She not only expertly administered insulin to my shy & blind 19-year-old kitty, but also spent extra time earning her trust and brushing her while we were away!

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!

Taylor was amazing! I had reservations about leaving my cat to a stranger but he warmed up to her right away!!! She made sure my guy was well taken care of and sent me photos along the way. He normally is timid but he loved snuggling with her every time she came over. Excellent kitty sitter!!!

Taylor did an excellent job in care taking our cat while we were away for two weeks. She was very responsive and sent pictures daily. I left a list of chores to do while we were away. I can tell that they were all actioned. I was even able to tell she swept up the litter mess. This is one thing I did not request. I feel she goes over and above.

Taylor is great cat sitter! I was worried one of my more territorial cats would struggle, but she really warmed up to Taylor. I always appreciate her updates and her willingness to pick up after my little troublemakers while I’m away. I would definitely recommend Taylor to other pet owners!

Taylor is always amazing with my cats, easily adapting to what they’re feeling on any particular day. The fact that my reclusive kitty comes out to give her loud purrs and affection is a testament to her patience and kindness. Always prompt, thorough, and extremely attentive. :)

My cats love Taylor and I can trust that she’ll take care of them. I always get photos. My cat requires shots twice a day and Taylor is able to provide these. Highly recommended.

Taylor was great! She kept us in the loop the entire time and included every detail regarding our cats in her messages (including behaviors and health information). She sent lots of pictures and she was wonderful with our broken kitty who needs eye drops multiple times a day. I would highly recommend Taylor!

My two little adventurers, Mars and Aries, had the pleasure of spending 8 days under Taylor's watchful eye while I was away. I couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter! Taylor provided everything my mischievous duo needed, from yummy meals and a sparkling clean litter box to playful romps and cuddles. The daily updates with photos and videos were the icing on the cake. Seeing my happy kitties enjoying their stay put my mind at ease and made my vacation even more relaxing. When I returned home, I was greeted by purring piles of contentment. It was clear they had been loved and spoiled rotten in my absence! If you're looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and cat-loving pet sitter, look no further than Taylor! She is an absolute lifesaver for any cat owner, and I wholeheartedly recommend her services. My kitties and I give her five purrs out of five!

Taylor was wonderful! We really appreciated her professionalism and clear communication, and it gave us peace of mind to know that she was spending time with the cats while we were gone, not just feeding/scooping them and leaving. She'll be our go-to when we're traveling!

Taylor was a wonderful, responsible, and reliable cat sitter! She was so great with my cat Dorito and provided updates for each visit with lots of photos. Taylor really helped minimize any anxiety I had about leaving my little guy for the first time in two years. I look forward to using her excellent cat-sitting services again!

My cats were very happy when we got home and that is a big deal. One of my cats is temperamental and he usually acts out when we are gone but he was happy as a clam. Taylor was quick to respond and gave lots of details about her visits. Highly recommend.
