I'm Kayla | Cat Sitting in Alameda, CA

Hi! I'm Kayla! They say if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life. I can say with certainty that I love being a professional cat sitter! I've been a cat admirer my whole life, and getting to care for cats as my job is a dream come true. I grew up in a home with many loveable cats (along with a menagerie of other pets)! I have lots of experience caring for cats of all ages and temperaments. I love to get to know their individual needs, quirks and personalities. My two cats, Moosie and Beanie, are my favorite little buddies. They love to "help me" with my other job as a graphic designer. Moosie has even starred in some of my creations! In order to best the care for my kitty clients, I recently became Pet First-Aid certified (including Pet CPR) through the American Red Cross program. I have personal experience with giving cats pills, eye drops, and ointments, as well as caring for picky eaters, and shy friends. I have plenty of experience introducing myself to new pets, and I'm very sensitive to their need for space and respect. I know everyone is uniq...

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been a cat parent my whole life, and have always been a trusted cat sitter among my circle of friends. I started cat sitting professionally in April of 2022, and have never looked back. I have worked with kitties of all different stages of life, personalities, and needs. I love learning about my kitty clients' unique way of moving in this dog-eat-dog world.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes, I have two! Beanie and Moosie are both short hair tuxedo cats. They came to us at different times, but now they are brothers through and through. Beanie is a very smart kitty, and can even do tricks like sit, speak and roll over. When he was a kitten, my husband bought him a puzzle feeder saying it would "train his dexterity". It worked very well, and now Beanie can now do practically anything a human toddler can do, including melt your heart. <3 Moosie on the other hand always has the sweetest look of innocent bewilderment in his eyes. He loves to nap in a sunny window and watch the birds with his brother, and loves groomed by his big brother. He is usually the center of attention, and likes to be involved in everything, even if he never knows what exactly is happening

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Read as much as you can on their profile, and send them a message before booking with any questions you may have. Always send a message if your kitties have any special needs.

Kayla is a kitty charmer and is so good with my two cats, one crazy active and one a bit shy. she takes time with each, knows their likes and is patient. Tailoring perfect playtime for both. They love her and we love the pics and videos and seeing they are well cared for while we are away. She's the best.

Kayla made a great first impression with me and my two kitties and we would definitely hire her again in the future. She took careful notes and followed all directions to the T. I got great updates every day and even my shy girl started coming around after a couple days. Kayla clearly speaks cat fluently and it's appreciated!

Kayla is fantastic with our kitties. She’s the only other person that has made friends with our most shy cat. It’s so great to be able to go on vacation and not worry.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

Alameda cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $39.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes 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 comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
