I'm Dale | Cat Sitting in Santa Cruz, CA
I once had to walk for help and arrived at a lonely house in the woods where the people were skeptical of strangers. Their cat walked up to me, jumped into my arms, and took up a roost on my shoulders. They said he didn't like most people, but they trusted me after that, even after I had appeared at their remote house with no warning just before dark. I ordinarily meet the cats quickly when visiting friends or meeting new people, and it almost always works out very well. I have lived with four cats for the past 12 years and understand and treasure the unique traits each one has. Within a few minutes of sitting down I usually have all three of the boys attached to me in some way, and the geriatric female works around her issues with them to make sure we are in contact also. I think trust and consistency are the most important el...

Dale was great with our two shy, nervous cats! Both kitties can be anxious when we're away, but they were chipper and relaxed when we came home. Dale was very responsive and shared daily updates about how the cats were doing, along with cutie pictures! I definitely recommend Dale to anyone looking for a reliable, effective cat-sitter.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
