I am a detail oriented person who is very sensitive and empathetic to animals. I am used to pet sitting and am aware that each animal has individual needs. I am also aware that each space is personal and I will be super respectful of your space and maintain your privacy. I have a flexible schedule that can adapt to your cat sitting needs.

Another great cat-sitting time with Jennifer! Even when my new robot litter box malfunctioned, she patiently figured it out w/me by text. Thanks so much :)

We had an issue with our cat’s autofeeder where it stopped turning while we were away where we could have easily panicked and just cancelled our whole trip so our cat wouldn’t starve, luckily Jennifer managed to reprogram it by following the instructions with us through a phone call. We are extremely grateful for that and the great service she kept giving us by stopping each day to feed Venti and clean up after him. Seriously she is so reliable, you won’t make a mistake by hiring her.

Jennifer always does a great job! Our little guy actually flops for her and likes to sit on her lap so he gives her a 5 star rating too 😄

Jennifer did such a great job taking care of our gang of 5 cats! Our two play monsters had a ton of fun chasing toys with her, and she even got one of our oldsters involved in the playing. She was an ace at giving our other oldster his daily meds, and making sure he was eating. We (and our cats) could not be happier with her care! We wholeheartedly recommend her. Her daily updates (with amazing pics) were also so great--we could tell the whole gang was having a great time at home and were well cared for while we relaxed on vacation.

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 Leandro cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $40.00. 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!
