I'm Jess | Cat Sitting in Altadena, CA

I'm a lifelong cat lady! My childhood cat Figaro taught me how to care for cats and also endured silly things like me dressing him up. These days, I'm cat mom of 2, brother and sister Theo and Dottie. My husband and I also foster cats regularly. We've hosted at least 20 cats. It's so rewarding to help them find the perfect forever families. I also TNR (trap, neuter, return) feral cats regularly and sometimes find friendly ones to adopt out. I love how cats express their personalities and I follow their lead. If they want to play, I love giving them some exercise with their favorite toys. I'm also happy to take it slower and let them get to know me on their own schedule. I care for your cats' health and safety obsessively. If they tend to dash out an open door, I will ensure that every door and window is closed after...

Learn More About Jess

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love showing cats love and affection and giving them comfort while their humans are away! My own cats are lap hogs, but I love showing cats attention in whichever way they prefer.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Ask about how a sitter would spend their session with your cat. After all the “chores” are done, I love to engage with your kitty. I’d also pay attention to the questions that the sitter asks you.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I keep an eye out for potential hazards on my visit, like string, hair bands, or other things kitties might have found while you were gone. My childhood cat has a close call with string, so I take that very seriously. I also double check all doors and windows before I leave.

Jess was again great with our funny sisters. She is thoughtful and helped in two unexpected challenges (matted fur and hairball!)

Jess was communicative and clearly knew what she was doing! We felt so relieved knowing our cats were in her capable hands.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

Altadena cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $39.00. 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.
