Cat Sitting in Alhambra, CA

I'm a lifelong cat owner, but I've been pet sitting more seriously since I was 18 - so for sixteen years! My favorite part of cat sitting - whether it's drop in visits or house sitting,m - is getting to develop meaningful relationships with the animals in my care. I have cared for and am comfortable caring for cats at all stages of life. I'm comfortable with administering medications, fluids, cleaning up messes that happen!

I've rarely met a cat I didn't like, or who didn't like me - I think... I'm a lifelong cat owner, but I've been pet sitting more seriously since I was 18 - so for sixteen years! My favorite part of cat sitting - whether it's drop in visits or house sitting,m - is getting to develop meaningful relationships with the animals in my care. I have cared for and am comfortable caring for cats at all stages of life. I'm comfortable with administering medications, fluids, cleaning up messes that happen!

I've rarely met a cat I didn't like, or who didn't like me - I think they know that I genuinely love to be around and spend time with them! I also like to take my time with building trust and respecting boundaries (when necessary - some cats don’t need this as we know) so I like to think they appreciate that.

My approach really depends on each cat, home, and situation! Each cat is different and has different needs. I like to get to know each cat and their particular quirks, and then take things at their speed. Love to follow their lead, whether it’s cuddling on the couch for an hour or playing or watching birds on cat tv!

I’m good with cats of all temperaments and sociableness! I love cats so much (yes I have a cat tattoo). And will always send a ton of photos!

Learn More About Gabriella

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have three rescue cats named Archie, Hank, and Duke. Hank is very cranky and takes Prozac every dah, but has a heart of gold underneath it all. Duke is very fluffy and regal, spends time alone a lot, but when he wants attention he DEMANDS it. Archie is the sweetest and most loving of the bunch and loves to play and cuddle! He follows me around the house. Archie and Duke both love watching TV!

What is your favorite cat toy?

It’s simply, but I’m a firm believer in the combo of a Ripple Rug and a wand toy called “da rat”.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I like to let them take their time sniffing me and getting used to me being around! I also often sing them little songs and talk to them constantly so they get used to my voice. Then I also try to lure them out with treats or toys! But first and foremost I want them to feel safe and comfortable and like they have agency.

Gabriella was able to administer a long list of medications for our senior cat and checked in with pictures and messages to put our minds at ease. My anxiety was high having to leave him, but knowing Gabriella's visits were a success really let me relax and even enjoy our time away.

I went away for the weekend and had Gabriella come by to feed, play with and administer an inhaler for my cat. She also took my cat ouside on a harness which I usually try to do daily. I’m very happy with her services and would definitely recommend her to others!

I can’t express just how grateful I am for Gabriella. Henry, my cat, took a quick shine to her and it’s been such a relief to have a great caregiver who can give subq fluids!

Gabriella was AMAZING with my old lady. I was nervous leaving her because she started a new medication a week before, but Gabriella is a pro and was able to give me tips on administering her meds! Definitely recommend her to anyone and will be using her again next time we are out of town!

Gabriella is fantastic. Prrfect feedback. lovely photos and lots of them. took care to clean so our ant problem didn’t come back. She took time to learn what our cats like and the own way of living, brushing and playing with them. Very trustworthy. I highly recommend Gabriella.

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.

Alhambra cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $35.00. 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!
