I'm Ramona
Cat Sitting in Santa Clara, CA
I know first hand how stressful i... Having grown up in a house with cats, I believe they are what makes a house feel like a home. I have a fur baby of my own, a black 13 yr old male cat, that I adopted off the streets when he was just one month old. He is in very good health and has been with me ever since I adopted him (and through two international moves). I occasionally fostered small kittens while they were waiting to go to their forever homes (as sad as it may have been to see them go).
I know first hand how stressful it is to leave your kitty and will do my best to make your baby and you, as comfortable as possible 🥰
I work in IT, and am mostly available after 3 PM (but we can try to work around these hours based on your kitty's needs). I am based in San Jose (CA), so I can cover any of the neighbouring cities.
I take COVID seriously (twice vaxxed + booster) and try my best to respect everyone's options when it comes to this topic (just please let me know of any special requirements you may have).

Ramona provided exceptional care to our 2 cats for over a week. Her kindness and care shined through in her robust messages and multiple pictures. I appreciate Ramona’s attention to details providing updates during the visit and a summary of what she did when she left. 10 out of 10 recommend.

Ramona was an amazing caretaker of my two cats over a weekend! She went above and beyond to make them feel comfortable each time she visited, taking time to play with them and give them a few treats during each visit. She was great to work with. She stopped by my apartment before I went out of town and took notes on all the things I normally do to take care of my cats. She sent me pictures and text updates through the app when I was gone so I could see how they were doing. I would love to have Ramona take care of my cats again!

Ramona was an amazing cat sitter! Her communication and attention to detail were outstanding from our first interaction and throughout our relationship. She She took great notes during our meet/greet, then provided updates and pictures while caring for our 4 cats. She built great rapport with the cats too… and it was obvious from the pictures and updates that our cats LOVED Ramona. We’ll be using Ramona again anytime we’re away!!!

Ramona is a fantastic catsitter! She’s thorough with updates, quick to respond, and most importantly the girls love her. She had no trouble giving one of my girls her medicine and got both girls to play (taking some adorable pictures in the process). Thank you again, Ramona!

Ramona is amazing! My cats can be shy, timid and unsure of visitors, and Ramona went above and beyond to take the greatest care with my cats, spent time getting to know them, play with them, followed my requests (and I had a lot of requests!), and was super timely and very quick to respond. Ramona even took my very last minute cat sitting request less than a day before I was set to travel, and Ramona is just awesome all around! I felt very comfortable having Ramona take care of my cats and would definitely hire her again!

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 $38.00. 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!

Ramona is a fantastic cat sitter. This is my first time using professional cat sitting services. Naturally I was a bit nervous about what to expect. But after meeting Ramona and seeing her charmed my shy kitties right away, I was reassured. While we were out, Ramona provided updates and pictures about the kitties every day with care and love. She also helped taking care of our plants. I definitely will come back to Ramona next time!

Ramona is a gem cat sitter! She sent me continual and detailed updates for each of her visits while I was away. I knew my cats were in good hands. She even was able to interact with my shy cat, who normally runs and hides when anyone new comes over. I highly recommend her!

I cannot rave enough about how amazing Ramona is! She went above and beyond each day to make sure that Simba was comfortable and well cared for while I was away. Beacuse of her I felt great knowing he was in good hands. She found a way to bring out the sweetest version of him through play and affection when he avoids new people at all costs for long periods. Trust me when I say Ramona is the absolutely best!

This was our first time using Meowtel and Ramona did a wonderful job! She really put us at ease leaving our cat Tempe and we felt confident that she was getting great care! I loved all the updates and pictures we got throughout the visit and could tell that Tempe was thriving in her routine. Would highly recommend Ramona and would book again!

Ramona is an amazing sitter with a deep love for cats and we are really thankful for the exceptional care she provided to ours while we were abroad. She completely understood our cat’s personality and needs from the very first moment, earning her trust, playing with her and making her feel very comfortable all the time. She followed our instructions meticulously and, upon our return, we were met by a happy and relaxed kitty. She sent thorough updates every day, with lots of photos and videos which gave us great peace of mind. We totally recommend her and we’ll be reaching out again in the future!
Response from Ramona
Thank you so much for the very very kind review! I loved spending time with Pinky (best part of my days) and was happy to share all those updates with you! Can't wait for my next visits with her!
