I'm Ilse | Cat Sitting in Santa Rosa, CA

I have always felt a special connection with cats and have found that I can befriend any cat that crosses my path! I strongly believe that they are a part of one's family and should be treated as such. I personally have a 10 year old kitty named Luna Albondiga, who I view as my child, so I want you to know that I understand the trust needed in a cat sitter. I primarily work in healthcare but I want to explore other passions like this one! Some professional skills that I feel are helpful and that I'd like to share are my ability to follow instructions, multi-task, pay attention to detail, and patience. I am comfortable applyin...

Ilse is the best! She is a caring, responsive cat sitter and we always feel at ease leaving our kittos with her. She sends great updates and pics and is willing to do whatever it takes to make sure they are comfortable and loved.

I highly recommend Ilse for any kitty caretaking needs. She is super sweet, responsive, and reliable. She even took on another day, last minute, when my travel got delayed. She’s a life saver!

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Santa Rosa cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $43.00. 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.
