G’day! I’m Sarscha and I’m originally from Australia, now living in the San Gabriel Valley. I’m a passionate vegan for animal welfare. Currently, I am working and studying in Veterinary Medicine - I have more than 5 years experience with animal care duties & I absolutely adore cats!

My abilities and confidence with senior and special needs cats sets me apart from regular sitters. I am comfortable with all kinds of oral, injectable & topical medications - even with the fussiest of pets. I have a genuine passion for animal welfare and would care for your babies as if they are my own.

Learn More About Sarscha

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Getting to know each cat's personality & all of the kitty cuddles.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 2 cats currently: Mochi, my 6year old grey gentleman and Penelope my 3 year old sassy orange princess. I often foster for rescues during kitten season, as well.

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

Your cat(s) will be much more comfortable being looked after in the comfort of their own home as opposed to being boarded! Boarding can cause a lot of stress and usually does not provide personalized, enriching care.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes. I save most of my vacation days for a once-a-year overseas holiday with my husband!

What is your favorite cat toy?

A brightly colored ribbon wand or catnip banana never fails to entertain my cats for hours on end!

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

Patience. Lots and lots of it! Going slow is important to gain trust and having a fear-free approach as well.

After moving to a new area, we scrambled to find a new overnight cat sitter for an unexpected out of town trip. We have four cats, three of which are all seniors with different medical conditions who need to be all given 4+ different medications and 4+ different specialty food. Thankfully we found Sarscha, and she graciously squeezed us in. Sarscha is everything you're looking for in a cat sitter--a genuine cat/animal lover who would treat your cats like the beloved babies they are, easily adaptable to your cats' routine and needs, can administer various medication methods, communicative, punctual, prompt, friendly, cleanly, and respectful of your space even without explicit request. We understand that it's impossible to expect someone else to take care of your feline babies exactly the way you do. But we were able to trust Sarscha completely with our cats. When we came home, everyone was healthy and spirited as well as our home, obviously treated with the same care. Thank you, Sarscha!

Did an absolutely great job with my cat while I was out of town, including handling a health emergency, giving meds, etc. Communicated very well, I had no doubt that my cat was in good hands the entire time.

Sarscha was incredible with our cats! They both have heavy stranger danger and usually hide when people come over. On the second day, I was amazed to receive videos of Sarscha giving one of cats belly rubs. He was completely splayed out on the carpet giving her blink eyes!! Sarscha took care of everything including bringing in all our mail and packages. I felt at ease while we were away knowing our babies were in good hands. She provided quick feedback and photos and videos. We will definitely be booking Sarscha again soon!! 🤩🤩

Our cat needed sub-q fluids while we were out of town and Sarscha did a fantastic job. Our cat can be pretty tricky to handle but Sarscha is highly skilled and comfortable. We trusted her very much and felt super lucky to have her. Would definitely book again!

Sarscha is the best! This is my third time hiring Sarscha to watch my senior kitty while I travel. I trust her expertise and care so much. Having a senior cat means handling extra tasks like meds and the occasional accident. Sarscha handles all of this with so much grace and thoughtfulness! I’m so grateful to know my cat is in safe hands while I’m away.

Sarscha took amazing care of our cats on a week-long trip! Our cats loved her immediately and the quality of care and communication was top notch. We had a minor incident of one of the cats feeling a little sick, and Sarscha was super communicative and went above and beyond to resolve the issue. She's a caring and reliable professional and we'd love to work with her again. Thanks Sarscha! The cat photos were top tier as well. :)

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.

Duarte cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $37.00. 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!
