Will Smith Not The Actor Cat Sitting

I'm Will

Cat Sitting in San Jose, CA

Hello cat lovers!

My name is Will Smith (like the actor) but I'm known to have more of Keanu Reeves vibes. I grew up on a small farm in Tennessee and also in Kochi Japan. I've been caring for animal companions my entire life. Cats, dogs and rabbits are my forte. My best friend growing up was my cat Keerz and he lived to be 16 years old (84 cat years). He taught me the values of compassion, loyalty, and perseverance. I believe every kid should grow up with an animal companion. The core values they will learn are so important leading into the development of adulthood. (Keerz is the cat on my head in the photo gallery)

I understand the perspective of a cat owner, the struggle when they are sick and the deep love that we cherish for them. Now that my Keerz has passed away, it would be an honor to help out other cats in need of that special love and care.

A little bit more about myself, I do freelance work nowadays with social media consulting and I'm a Content Creator. Writing scripts, filming, acting, photographing and editing all my own work...

A little bit more about myself, I do freelance work nowadays with social media consulting and I'm a Content Creator. Writing scripts, filming, acting, photographing and editing all my own work. I work as a body guard/ staff for talent during anime conventions like Anime Expo, as well as a visual jockey creating visuals for the live DJ performances. I used to teach as a skateboard instructor sharing my 17 years of knowledge. My very first dream was to get sponsored and become a professional skateboarder. Fun fact, I did an acting role in a Netflix original production. I love Karaoke, song writing, and singing. I was also a fashion model for a while working with Brands and doing fun product promotions. Being creative and living a healthy lifestyle are both very important to me with physical fitness being one of my top priorities. The dicispline I've learned from training in calisthenics for the past 7 years has pushed me forward with every opportunity I've been fortunate to have. I want to reassure you that dicispline carries over to every other aspect that I do in my life. If you decide to book me as your cat sitter, your cat will be taken care of as if they were my own.

I do have a lot of medication experience. The most important thing is the comfort of your cat. All cats have different personalities the goal is to be able to give top treatment in as stress-free of a method as possible. I will always ask detailed explanations for what works for your cat and their preferences. If the job requires at least two people to administer medicine please be aware of that before booking as it would be best for the cat to be handled in that situation by the love of their closer family members.

I also provide extra services for my clients. I will water your plants, take out trash, bring in your mail, tidy up for your cat making sure their area looks nice and clean.

I've been a content creator for the past 20 years and will take unlimited amounts of professional photos and videos of your cat and send them to you as they roam their household environments. (depending on how much time I have during a reservation)

I am fully vaccinated and if you have any special requirements I will happily abide by all your personal preferences to make sure everyone is as comfortable as they can be.

Thank you for reading all the way here! I appreciate you and your time.

Will Smith (not the actor)

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

My process begins with our in person meet & greet. I present myself in a professional manner because I take all opportunities I get very seriously. Your animals are your partner pokemon like Pikachu with Ash. As I enter your home, I'll have my notebook. I'll ask questions as we go indepth with your cats personality. Once our meet & greet is over I reorganize my notes. I send my notes back to the cat parent to make sure I heard everything correctly. I do this to give my clients peace of mind, letting them know I listened intensively to every detail. My goal is to put you at ease knowing that your cats are being provided the excellent care they deserve.

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

My mindset for handling cats with all different types of personalities is to mirror similar energy. For example, if a cat is shy I'll go to ground level so there isn't a towering presence above them. I'd follow up by sitting quietly near them so they can see me. Once they feel I'm not a threat, I'll start inching my way closer or I'll wait til they come closer to me. Depending how comfortable they become, I'll slowly reach out my hand and follow their lead. Some cats need a bit more patience than others, sometimes it can be a slow process. One of the greatest feelings is when a shy animal gives you their complete trust. I will never disrespect a cats space. I'm a guest in your home so the highest level of respect is very important to establish trust.

My two cats love it when I go on trips because they get to spend time with Will! He has been their sitter for several years and knows them well. I am excited to receive detailed notes and video updates from Will, reporting on their wellbeing and fun adventures. My kitties love to play and snuggle with their favorite sitter! I recommend booking 40 min sessions bc this allows more time for interactive play and bonding, which he truly excels at!

Book Will! I so appreciate how thoughtful and comprehensive his approach was to watching my boys. Will asked many questions and had notes taken, to get it right. His attention to detail was so wonderful. I loved how he found ways to engage with my scaredy cats (treat scavenger hunt!). The daily recaps were thorough.

Will went above and beyond while watching our two cats! He spent extra time giving them attention, ensuring they were completely comfortable while we were away. He meticulously followed special feeding instructions for our girl cat and left our home cleaner than he found it. We are so grateful for his thoughtful care, and we will definitely be inviting him back next time we travel!

Will did an outstanding job taking care of our two kitties while we were away. Even administering medication! He was so respectful of our home, and kept us informed of each day’s visit. One day the cats had knocked over and broken some glass- not only did Will clean the mess to our satisfaction, he went above and beyond to make sure all the surrounding areas were safe for the cats as well. He sent us pictures and videos everyday to help us feel more comfortable. We will absolutely book with Will again. I whole heartedly recommend his services to anyone- but especially those who are feeling a bit apprehensive about leaving their cats alone.

At this point, I’m running out of new ways to write glowing reviews for Will 😂❤️ This definitely isn’t our first time booking him, and somehow he still manages to go above and beyond every single time! His thoughtful daily updates and beautiful photos gave us so much peace of mind, and it was obvious how comfortable and happy Tileh and Toffee were with him. 🥹🐾 We came home to everything incredibly clean and well cared for, and this time he even surprised us with printed pictures of our boys waiting on the counter! 🥹❤️ Such a sweet and thoughtful touch that completely melted our hearts. Will genuinely cares about our cats and our home, and it shows in every little detail. We feel so lucky to have found him and will absolutely keep booking him. Highly, highly recommend! ❤️🐾

Will is truly the most caring and thorough sitter. He has a very rare ability to befriend even the most shy cat, and make them feel calm and loved. My cat Andy adores Will, and runs to the door to greet him, wants to play and snuggle with him. (I am a little jealous when I see the photo updates!!) I am 100% sure my cats are safe and well taken care off by Will.

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 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 Meet & Greet!
