Janan
Aya is very dependable and did a great job taking care of my cats. She provided thorough daily updates along with pictures. One of my cats tends to be very shy, but she warmed up to Aya very quickly. I feel very comfortable leaving my cats in Aya’s care and would definitely book with her again.

Gemini
Aya was an absolutely amazing cat sitter! She took such great care of our beloved Tink man while we were away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She made sure he got his medications on time, showed him so much love and attention, and really went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and cared for. Aya asked thoughtful questions to ensure she fully understood Tink’s needs, and she kept us updated with the sweetest photos that gave us so much peace of mind. She even offered to spend extra time with him beyond what we had originally planned — such a kind and generous gesture! We’re so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be calling on her again. Highly, highly recommend!

Kelly
Aya was amazing! One of my three cats got an eye infection while I was gone and it was my shyest cat. She was able to get him out and give him meds! She kept me updated and sent photos! My cats are my babies and I don’t trust just anyone to care for them. I will definitely be hiring Aya again and I highly recommend her!

Cortezzia
Aya was very helpful and patient with my cat. Even with the unexpected aggressiveness he had, she was gentle. I really appreciate her for being understanding. She responded very quickly and she gave needed, detailed updates. She also sent the cutest pictures of my cat which helped me feel better while being away from him. I really appreciate her for being a greater sitter!

Zana
Aya was a fantastic cat sitter. She was entrusted with the care of two cats whose owner had recently died, and came to feed them twice a day for a week. She figured out what treats they like, and when we got back, the cats were noticeably and considerably more sociable and friendly. She is a true cat whisperer!

Bill
Aya watched our two cats for almost two full weeks while my wife and I were on our honeymoon and we couldn't be happier. She improvised some food changes to help with stress vomiting, sent us pictures every day (even ones of the shy one hiding under the couch) and was overall a fantastic sitter.

Aya did an amazing job- we have multiple cats and it can be complicated to keep track of what they all need, but Aya did a perfect job. She even got our grouchiest cat to take his medicine (no other cat sitter has been able to.) She sent daily updates and photos, was very responsive, and even took out the trash and ran the dishwasher on her last day. We will definitely use her again for any future cat-sitting needs- very highly recommend!

Zeyad
One time I had to travel to Middle East due to family emergency and I did not have a time to look for a cat sitter. I called Aya as a friend just to vent about the situation and Aya stepped up and told me she will take care of them. She actually drove 45 minutes to my place and took care of them for 10 days. Aya is truly amazing and her kindness saved me a lot of stress and expenses.

Frequently Asked Questions
Riverside cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $34.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.
Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
