Cat Sitting in Santa Rosa, CA
Learn More About Jacob
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I always want everyone to be comfortable, both the parents and the kitties being taken care of. While I am not their parent, the cats in my care will feel relaxed and cared for. Building the connections with each cat is so much fun; I will go the extra mile for them to feel comfortable and safe.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have 3 kitties, although I’ve had many more over the years. Tiggers is 17 years old and still going strong, with plenty of personality to boot. Rochelle is 4 years old and is constantly playing with Piper, the youngest of the bunch at just over a year.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I’m a big rule follower, and want to provide as much flexibility as I can. However you want me to look over the house and your kitties, I will do so with no issue. Every house and every cat is different, requiring different processes and styles of care, and I aim towards fitting whatever you need.

Jacob did a wonderful job caring for my senior kitty. She has a few health issues and Jacob was caring and attentive to her needs. He was easy to communicate with and sent thorough updates daily with photos. I would definitely book with Jacob again.

Jacob was wonderful in every way. He was friendly, communicative, punctual, consistent and showed a genuine loving concern for my cat Meg. He kept regular communication with me while I was gone including photos. My home was maintained beautifully, and it was a pleasure to come home to a happy cat and clean environment. Thank you Jacob! I appreciate everything you did! I will definitely use Jacob when I travel 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 Rosa 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 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!
