Learn More About Damian
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Getting to meet so many different people and their animals. I think it is a very mind-opening job to be able to see the different ways people conduct their lives and keep care for their pets at the top of their priorities.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I am someone who is always very concerned with security. I make sure doors are locked, house appliances are turned off, and no packages are left outside. When leaving the house, I ensure pets are not eating in case they may choke and that there is nothing they might have access to that they should not.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Letting them warm up to me through quiet words and body language. If a pet parent tells me they have a favorite toy or treat, I will try to engage with them that way. Otherwise I let them have their space until they feel ready to engage.

Damian is hands-down our go-to sitter for our two boys (cats). He's reliable, communicative, and clearly enjoys spending time with the boys. He sends daily photos and updates which means we always know they are happy and well looked after while we're away. The cats are completely comfortable with him, which says a lot. And every time we come home, the house is exactly as we left it. It's that combination of trustworthiness and genuine care that keeps us coming back. We're hoping to retire soon, meaning more travel, and more bookings with Damian. We highly recommend!

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.
Santa Clara cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $42.00. 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!
