I'm John
Cat Sitting in Walnut Creek, CA
I have been a proud cat dad for about ten years.
Originally from the East Coast, I moved to the Bay Area in 2024 and got the one-of-a-kind experience of driving across the country with my (human) partner and two cats all packed into an SUV.
I’m no stranger to all kinds of cat personalities. At home I have Callie (shy butterball) and Cosmo (playful criminal).
So whether your cat is quiet and reserved or active and inquis... Hi, my name is John!

Originally from the East Coast, I moved to the Bay Area in 2024 and got the one-of-a-kind experience of driving across the country with my (human) partner and two cats all packed into an SUV.
I’m no stranger to all kinds of cat personalities. At home I have Callie (shy butterball) and Cosmo (playful criminal).
So whether your cat is quiet and reserved or active and inquisitive, I am excited to care for them while you’re away!
As a fellow cat parent, I know it’s super important to feel confident that your four-legged children are in good hands when you’re away from home.
I’m here to provide your cat with not just the essentials like feeding, scooping, and playing, but also warm individualized attention and care. And of course sending lots of pictures back to you so you can enjoy that peace of mind on your trip.
Learn More About John
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two cats: Callie and Cosmo. Callie is a bit more reserved and shy. Cosmo on the other hand is about two years old and an absolute maniac.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I like to set up an initial visit to meet the cat parent in-person, see the location, and learn about the cats and their needs, routines, etc.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I always give cats their space and let them come to me rather than invading their space. Also I will sit on the floor to make myself appear less intimidating to them.

Walnut Creek cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $37.00. 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!
