I'm Derrick | Cat Sitting in Cerritos, CA
Hey there! My name is Derrick and I’ve been a proud cat dad to my not-so-little baby boy Storm for the past 5 years. I also care for Sunny and Moon, my brother’s two cats, who are 8 and 13 years old. Each of these three has their own unique personality, and over the years, I’ve become very skilled at understanding and earning the trust of even the shyest kitties. I absolutely adore cats—I genuinely can’t resist stopping to admire (and take pictures of!) any I spot in public. Felines hold a special plac...

Derrick's Reviews
Meowtel
Derrick is a background-checked cat sitter in the Cerritos area. Their profile has been verified and their references have been checked by Meowtel.
Rumeya
I believe Derrick would make an excellent pet sitter, primarily because of his deep love for cats. He has a natural ability to manage his time well and has proven his dedication when caring for his own cat, especially during times of illness. Derrick has learned a lot from these experiences, which shows his commitment and capability. Additionally, when his brother was forced to give up his two cats due to his wife’s dislike for them, Derrick stepped in without hesitation. He adopted both cats and has been caring for them ever since. His genuine love for animals, especially cats, combined with his experience and responsibility, makes him an ideal choice as a sitter.
Erica
Derrick is a thoughtful, reliable, and caring cat sitter. He went above and beyond to care for my cat while I was away, sending regular updates and making sure she was comfortable and happy. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions
Cerritos cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $31.00. 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.
