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.

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.

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.

Will was my first experience with Meowtel and what a great one! I was lucky to be able to book him as I believe I'm outside his usual service area. He was able to fulfill a late-breaking holiday sitting request over the Christmas holiday when I learned my cat sitter for the past few years was moving out of state. The meet and greet was super smooth and my two girls responded to his calm and approachable demeanor right away. He took copious notes about the environment as well as their likes/dislikes/routines etc. During the visits he sent the most creative photos and videos. It really was spot-on curated custom content of my cats and the pics were so original and really captured their vibe day to day. When I came back everything was super tidy as well. Will was also very mindful about observing when the cats were getting into things they shouldn't have (opening treats, getting into Legos :), etc) and taking care of it before it became a problem. I would not hesitate to have Will cat-sit for me again!

This is Will's third time taking care of Henry, and he did a superb job as always! This time Henry had an upset stomach as we were leaving, and Will kept a close eye on him to make sure he was okay. Our favorite thing about Will as a catsitter is that he is so creative with play! He combines different toys and really thinks outside the box to entertain Henry in ways that we've never seen before. We highly recommend Will, especially if your cat needs a lot of mental stimulation!

Will took care of our cat together with another caregiver for 13 days while we traveled to Europe. Will communicated and coordinated very well with the second person and we couldn't imagine of a better experience. Will bonded immediately with our cat, he was present and saw his needs. It was almost like a vacation for our cat. They played and had fun together. He sent messages, photos and videos every single day. That gave us such a great feeling so we truly could enjoy our time. Thank you Will.

Will is absolutely amazing with our two kitties. This is the fourth time we’ve hired him and definitely not the last. His love for animals is apparent in everything he does, and his attention to detail and thoroughness is top notch. It’s so obvious how much our cats love and adore him, maybe even more than us! The videos and photos we receive are always so entertaining and provide relief when we are away from home and missing our fur babies. Thank you Will!

San Jose cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $37.00. 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!
