A heavily tattooed cat dad that had doesnt mind climbing into a storm drain to save kittens or injured cats.

Hi, my name is Bret - I might not look the part when you meet me but I am the biggest cat lover. I've volunteered for cat rescues around the island since 2020 and have been the one to get down and dirty, climbing into storm drains, rusted out cars and high roof tops.

My ex partner and I share custody of 10 cats, with me looking after my blind cat Terra at my home.

I have experience with taking temps, giving pills, subQ fluids, eye drops, nail trims, liquid meds etc.

Your fur babies are my priority and I will treat them like my own.

Learn More About Bret

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

Ive cat sat for a few years now, mostly for friends and family. I have only just now decided to explore options outside of my friends group.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Knowing that the cat parents can enjoy their vacation without worry. I will never not show up for your pet, they are treated as my own till you return.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have one cat myself, her name is Terra. She has no eyes but she uses her other senses and gets around just fine. I co-parent with my ex partner and we have 9 others. I see them a few times a week.

Bret has an easygoing charm, infectious sense of humor, and a deep love for animals. His years of experience fostering cats and kittens inform his confidence and keep him steady in a crisis. He taught me to care for my foster kittens, and he is my go-to cat sitter when I’m on travel.

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.

Honolulu cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $27.00. 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!
