Learn More About Sandra
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
What I enjoy most about cat sitting is building trust with each cat and creating a calm, reassuring presence while their family is away. I love getting to know their unique personalities — from playful and social to shy and sensitive — and meeting them exactly where they are. There’s something very special about earning the trust of a reserved cat and watching them relax into their routine.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I prioritize safety by carefully following each cat’s routine and the home instructions provided by the pet parent. I double-check doors and windows at every visit, ensure food and water areas are clean and secure, and keep litter boxes well maintained. I move calmly through the home to avoid startling cats and am especially mindful of escape risks with shy or curious kitties. I also treat every home with the same respect and care I would my own, keeping the space secure, and peaceful so both the cat and pet parent feel safe and at ease.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes, I’m typically available during holidays. If my availability changes, I keep my calendar updated and provide notice as early as possible so pet parents can plan with confidence

Sandra was absolutely great with my cat! She was very attentive and brought over different toys and treats to have my cat try. She made sure my cat had plenty of enrichment activities while I was gone and got lots of attention. She took care of all the maintenence tasks I requested and ensured my cat had a clean litterbox and water fountain. Sandra also made sure to send very detailed updates about how my cat was doing and what activities they engaged in during the visits. I felt super comfortable having her take care of my cat while I was gone for an extended work trip. I will definitely be booking Sandra again for any future trips!

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.
Watsonville cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $33.00. 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!

Sandra is the best! My cat, WillowBee, comes out of her hiding spot for only a few people. Sandra is one of them. She seemed to trust her immediately when Sandra first visited. That has never happened. I also don’t trust many in my home when I’m not there. But I fully trust Sandra. She has a high level of integrity and is very respectful, not to mention incredibly kind, reliable, and thoughtful. I recommend her to everyone who has pets!

Sandra’s gift in life is to provide a loving environment for cats. I’ve experienced firsthand how her cats respond to her calm and caring nature. Her house is perfectly designed for cats to explore, climb, play, or just relax. Sandra provides a safe, clean and caring environment. I highly recommend cat parents to entrust Sandra with providing outstanding care, love, and compassion to their cat.
