Learn More About Maria Del Angel

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two beautiful kitties! One is a mischievous tortie and another a black goddess. Their names are Tierra and Cielo.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I always make sure I close and lock the doors after I come into a home. When I come in I usually open the door just a crack and block it with my body in case a cat is near the entrance or tries to dash out the door. Before I leave I triple check where the cats are to be absolutely sure they don’t follow me out. I also activate the resident’s alarm system if they have one per their instructions. If there are large packages outside the door, I often either lock the kitties in a room with treats so I can freely open the door wide and give myself time to bring the package inside without the cats getting out. I will immediately call 911 and inform the cat parents if there is an emergency and take the cats out in their carriers.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! I’m available on holidays including Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Years’ Eve and Day, Fourth of July, Easter, etc.

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

The number one rule of paws for me is to let the shy or distressed kitty come introduce himself in his own time and give him space. I’ll come in very quietly and carefully, using a soft voice, wary of my body so as to not startle them with sudden movements or sounds. If he peeks at the stranger in his house, I might greet him in a whisper, and then make my way slowly in another direction so that he doesn’t perceive me as a predator. After finishing up with the cats’ chores I will find a place to simply sit peacefully. More often than not, the kitty will come out of hiding to sniff and investigate. I’ll resist the temptation to try petting him and look at something else. The kitty may sniff me again and I’ll present my finger, hand, and see if he’ll welcome gradual petting.

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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 cat sitter on Meowtel has been background-checked and reviewed. Every Meowtel reservation may come 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 may come with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
