Iām a huge cat lover who enjoys spending time with cats of all ages from playful kittens to sweet senior cats. I canāt have a cat of my own right now because my apartment doesnāt allow pets, so I love any opportunity to care for and spend time with them. Iāve cared for cats for coworkers and helped socialize foster kittens, so Iām comfortable with playful, shy, or timid cats. I've also dont mind working with shy ones that take a while to warm up to me.š
Iām patient, reliable, and happy to make sure your cat feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while youāre away. š±
Learn More About Zaida
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Getting to know the cat, honestly every single cat has their own unique story and personality that makes them awesome.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
Make sure I go over any need for meds with cat parents but also make sure if there is anything I find out of the ordinary with the cats behavior to check in with the owners.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Give them space. Bring out a treat set it infront of them and give them privacy to eat it and slowly build trust up. I have helped my boyfriends mom with some fosters that have slowly come around. They just need to know they are safe and loved.

We had a great experience with Zaida caring for our cats while we were away. She sent us regular updates and pictures, which gave us such peace of mind. Both cats seemed to really love her, including our usually very shy one, which was especially reassuring to see! She was kind, attentive, and took great care of them. We would definitely recommend her and would happily have her watch our cats again! š±ā¤ļø

I was very short on time in finding a sitter. I made the reservation and got an immediate response. She made her initial visit to meet Finn and get the key. Finn was very comfortable friendly with her when they met. When she visited fin she sent pictures each time and made me feel at ease.

Zaida kept us updated on how the cats were doing. she helped troubleshoot when one of them decided she didnt want to eat and got her to eat! I feel really comfortable having her watch the kitties. I am grateful to have found someone we can trust. You can tell she really cares about the cats and doing a quality job!

Iāve used Zaida multiple times now to take care of Quintessa and sheās been fantastic every time. Clearly communicates when sheāll show, gives you updates once sheās there, and shares any and all concerns with you before she leaves. Couldnāt ask for a better sitter.

Very clearly cared about Quintessa from beginning to end, staying far beyond what she was obligated to in order to ensure Quintessa was comfortable around her. Personable, very good at maintaining communication throughout your reservation, and loving to your cat all the same. Couldnāt ask for a more pleasant cat sitting experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
Waukesha cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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!

Zaida is a super responsible and friendly person! I have trusted her to watch my cat on more than one occasion, once being after a snow storm while we were out of the state. I would love to have Zaida as a cat sitter again in the future. She sends plenty of updates and photos while you are away while being very respectful of your space. Thank you so much for watching Queso, we will definitely have you back over our next trip!
