Learn More About Sahar

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy the comfort and calmness that comes from being around cats, especially the soothing sound of their purrs. I love playing with them, watching their curious nature, and sharing the simple joy of seeing them watch birds outside.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

When meeting new cat parents, I prioritize building trust with both them and their cats. I ensure open communication, providing updates through texts and photos to keep them informed about their loved ones while they’re away. My goal is to offer peace of mind by showing genuine care and attentiveness every step of the way.

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

When caring for cats, I gently talk to them and observe their behavior to understand their needs. I offer small treats and engage in play to help them feel at ease. Uniquely, I mimic a cat’s purr, which quickly builds trust and comfort, showing them I understand their language and creating an instant connection.

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

Santa Cruz cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $33.00. 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.
