Learn More About Szende

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Meeting cats with all kinds of personalities is my favorite - I just slowly earn their trust until one day… boom they’re asking for back scratches like we’ve been besties forever 😺

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I have a 2-year-old handsome male cat named Cino (that’s him in my avatar pic - hope you can see it! 😊)

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

Just give them space and let them come to you - let them sniff and get used to your presence. I usually avoid eye contact at first and make sure I’m not coming across as a threat. My own cat is shy and timid too, so I know it can take time for some cats to warm up. Treats definitely help speed things up!

Szende is the cat whisperer. Izzie and Archie are shy kitties who hide when visitors come over. But not with Szende, they didn't hide and Szende was able to get pictures. I have had cat sitters say they didn't believe I had cats. lol! I am very happy with how my kitties were taken care if and I didn't have to worry.

I always appreciate the videos and photos that Szende provides of our two cats. Of course we think they're adorable and it's nice to know their safe and healthy while we're gone.

Szende was great! She took care of my 2 cats and sure to provide videos and photos every time she visited. She was also really flexible when I had to change the time of her visit.

Szende is extremely professional, clearly communicates and specially loving person. She took care of my furbaby just like her own. She did everything just the way I had asked her- cleaning bowls, refilling water, administration of topical flee medicine on time, and sending me photos and videos. I will definitely hire her services next time .

Szende took great care of our senior cat Elliot! He warmed up to her right away, and we felt great leaving him in her care. She sent us great photos after every visit and communicated promptly about any questions. We would love to have Szende take care of Elliot again anytime.

This was my first experience hiring a pet sitter. I’ve been reluctant but I’m so happy I found Szende and we couldn’t be happier. My shy pets took a liking to her right away. Szende has a quiet confidence about her that’s purrrfect for cats. She even cared for my 60 year old tortoise. It really allowed me to enjoy some well needed time off. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.

Put litter in the toilet and it got stopped up

Response from Szende on Sep 17, 2025 "I’m sorry, Sue, I obviously didn’t know. Many pet owners flush litter, and since the box was beside the toilet, I didn’t realize it was an issue. That said, I took great care of your cats."

Szende is a caring and very patient person who can find the right approach to any pet, dog or cat, regardless of their circumstances. She takes the time to understand the needs of the pets and their families, is a great listener, and is able to maintain clear head in the stressful situations. She is a cat mom herself and the bond she was able to create with her cat is admirable. She lives an active lifestyle, but equally enjoys cuddles if a cat requires them. She also understands cats’s nature and will give them space, if that’s what they need. Szende pet sat for our family on many occasions, and I will recommend her to my friends and family anytime.

Frequently Asked Questions

San Ramon cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, 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. 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.
