Learn More About Emily
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
Ive been cat sitting for a few months with some friends and family. Ive made sure all the cats are well fed and handling special diets if stated. I make sure they have clean freshwater everyday. I clean the litter everyday. I will play and make sure they get attention by matching the cats energy.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love being around cats. I feel fulfillment in making sure the cats are cared for. And I enjoy knowing an owner trusts me with their furbabies
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
I have a cat sitting reservation with a friend who travels often. Her cats got to know me fairly quickly after a visit or two and it was clear they enjoyed me being around. She lays out clear instructions and scheduling for me and I make sure her cats get what they need during the time im there.

Emily was amazing! My cats simply loved her. Daily she watered, fed (both dry and wet), and checked their litter. Without being asked she rinsed all their wet food dishes. Emily offered to pick up my mail and she even pushed my garbage out and retrieved the cans. She did contact me because one of my smoke alarms was beeping. She asked where my spare batteries were and changed it without any fuss! This was above and beyond what was asked of her. She could have easily called my emergency house repairman, but instead she handled it with ease. Her first concern was that the sound was upsetting my senior cat. I would highly recommend Emily and will book her again when I 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.
Pleasant Hill cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $23.00. 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!
