Learn More About Tamara

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

The cats personalities!! I’m a firm believer in cats having great and interesting personalities. I also find it to be soothing and often very entertaining.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I have experience with my friend’s three cats, Mag, Nell and mister Big Stuff, Rocky. They are super cute and very different from each other. From Rocky who has a big man on campus vibe, to Nell who is a sweetie and the mysterious Mag who always makes me look for her. They keep me on my toes!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My long time cat, Morena, passed after 18.5 years of being my fur baby and I still miss her! Currently, I’m working to fully adopt an auntie and nephew cat combo named Tuxey and GreyGory. They appeared on our block and we are halfway to adoption. I have gained their trust so far enough for them to enter our home. It’s a journey!

Tamara was amazing. She gave the girls lots of attention. Was happy to give one her meds. A couple of the shy ones didn’t come out to say hi but one of them who’s normally hiding did! We’ll definitely request her again in the future.

Tamara was the first person I ever entrusted with my trio of kittens. She took wonderful loving care of them and of my home, and even years later, they run to greet her at the door. I trusted her with the most important creatures in my life, and I'd do it again without any hesitation. Tamara is a kind, empathetic, and pragmatic person devoted to her community, and she bring all of those qualities to any creature lucky enough to be under her care.

Tamara has been watching my cat, Winnifred, for three years. Winnifred has needs multiple bowls of fresh, filtered water daily or she will get sick. Tamara has always made sure Winnifred's peculiar needs are met. She is also a proactive and clear communicator, and send updates frequently.

Frequently Asked Questions

San Jose cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
