Cat Sitting in Glendale, CA

Hi! My name is Magdalen and I love cats (duh). As a cat mom myself, I know how important it is to have someone you trust to care for your kitties when you’re away and I can be that person for you.

As a cat mom myself, I know how important it is to have someone you trust to care for your kitties when you’re away and I can be that person for you. I’ve owned cats my whole life, have cared for friends’ cats countless times, and have fostered cats and kittens through a local rescue. Different cats have different needs when they’re being looked after and I’m ready to do whatever that means for you (and your cat!), from playtime to snuggles to giving medications to sending MANY pictures to you while you’re away. Reach out if that sounds like a good fit - I can’t wait to meet your cat!

Learn More About Magdalen

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two kitties right now, Bugs and Birdie! They are littermates from a litter of five kittens that I fostered in 2024 along with their mom. They’ve lived with me since they were two weeks old 🥹

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

Find someone who you feel comfortable with taking care of your cats! It can be stressful to leave them so you don’t want the cat sitter to add to your stress. I’m someone who is going to ask questions to make sure I have all the information I need to give your cats the best care possible.

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

I’ve been around many shy or high strung cats in my life and I know the best way to interact with them is to let the cat lead the way. I’ll be patient and calm and let the cat approach me when it’s ready.

Magdalen is a kind and compassionate cat lover. She has both lived with and cared for my cat Frances over many years and she is one of his favorite people! I even get a little bit jealous of the photos she sends where he's particularly snuggly. Highly recommend!

Magdalen has been watching my cats for over 10 years. I would never hesitate to trust her with their care while I was not personally around to look after them. She will always be communicative with you about how they're doing and send you quality cat photos while you're out of town.

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.

Glendale cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $34.00. 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!
