Cat Sitting in Inglewood, CA
First, thank you to all of my wonderful clients for trusting me with your cats over the past several years. It’s truly been an honor to care for them.
I recently started a part-time office position, so I’ve intentionally reduced the number of bookings I accept. Because of my work schedule, I’m unfortunately not able to accept bookings for cats who cannot be left alone for 8–10 hours, unless those hours fall on one of my days off. Thank you so much for your understanding and continued support!
Hi! I’m Sarah, a lifelong cat lover with over 25 years of hands-on animal care experience, including several years working at a veterinary hospital and caring for my own rescue cats... A quick update for new and returning clients 🤍

Hi! I’m Sarah, a lifelong cat lover with over 25 years of hands-on animal care experience, including several years working at a veterinary hospital and caring for my own rescue cats.
I’m experienced with senior cats, shy or anxious cats, and those with special medical needs. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, topical medications, injections, and other specialized care, and I know how to recognize subtle changes in feline behavior so I can keep a close eye on your cat’s well-being.
I believe every cat deserves to feel safe and respected, so I always let them set the pace. Whether your cat wants to play, cuddle, or simply have a calm, reassuring presence nearby, I adapt to their individual personality and routine. During each visit, I’ll make sure they have everything they need while keeping you updated with detailed notes and plenty of adorable photos. (I’ve been asked more than once if I’m a professional pet photographer!)
I know how much trust it takes to leave your cat in someone else’s care. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your cat is being cared for with the same patience, attention, and love I’d give my own.
Learn More About Sarah
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I started working at a veterinary hospital right out of high school, where I gained hands-on experience with cats of all temperaments and medical needs over three years. Since then, I’ve been pet sitting for friends, family, and referrals, consistently providing reliable, personalized care for cats of all ages, including those with health conditions, special needs, and anxiety. My background gives me a calm, confident approach, especially with shy or senior cats.
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
One of my favorite cat sitting reservations is with a sweet senior kitty named Zoe, who has kidney failure. I check on her while her owner is away to administer sub-q fluids, manage her food, water, and litter box, and make sure she gets the gentle attention she needs. She was very shy at first and used to hide when I arrived, but after a couple visits, she began greeting me at the door. Now she’ll come out for head scratches and pets, and it’s incredibly rewarding to have earned her trust. She’s a special girl and I absolutely adore her.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two rescue cats of my own. Oliver is 9 years old, I found him abandoned at just a couple weeks old, starving and covered in fleas. I bottle-fed him and raised him, and he later went through a tough time with urinary blockages that required surgery. It was a challenging experience, but I learned so much about medical care and how to advocate for cats with chronic issues. My other cat is Harry Styles! He’s playful, energetic, and incredibly smart. We’ve even taught him to use talking buttons, and he regularly tells us “love you” and asks for exactly what he wants. They’ve both taught me so much and it’s been such a joy to see their unique personalities!

This was our first time leaving our elderly cat, Malibu, in the hands of someone we didn’t know. And, it was for an entire week. We were very nervous… However, Sarah made it SO much easier for us to do. From the early conversations on the app - her responsiveness and willingness to fit Malibu’s time needs into her schedule; to the meet & greet - she was on time and took notes from the second she got to our front door; to her twice daily visits - beautiful photographs of Malibu, specific reports of food consumption, bathroom usage, playtime and petting time… We could tell that Malibu was in good hands and that they took to each other very well. She and Malibu got into a perfect routine. On our second day away, Sarah found Malibu outside our bedroom just staring at the door (it was so sad to see)… when she sent us a picture of this, we immediately requested a FaceTime so we could talk to Malibu and Sarah was very accommodating, which made us feel so much better (and seemingly made Malibu feel better as well). There was one situation that arose with regard to the lock on our front door. Sarah contacted us immediately by phone, and, when she wasn’t able to reach us by phone, she texted us. Because of her diligence, we were able to take care of it immediately. When there were any changes in energy level, bathroom use, or eating habits, Sarah showed genuine concern and mentioned them to us so we had an opportunity to make any changes that might be necessary. While this was our first time leaving Malibu in Sarah‘s care, it will not be our last.

While we were out of town, our cat stopped eating and I messaged her and she dropped everything to help us get out sick cat to the vet. She was able to wrangle him into his carrier without incident and helped us out when we were in such a bind. This is the 3rd time we have booked with Sarah and most definitely won’t be our last. She cares deeply for the animals in her care.

We booked Sarah last minute to drop in to check on our kitty as he wasn’t feeling well when we were out of town. She immediately found time in her schedule to check in on him, sent us a whole bunch of videos, and helped us make the decision to cut our trip short. Now that we are home it was absolutely the right thing for us to cut our trip short and we are so grateful that she was able to be there to give us the info we needed to make that decision (if we had waited we probably wouldn’t have been able to get home as fast as we did). We are so grateful for her care and support.

Sarah was so amazing with our sweet boy, Dewey!! She sent so many photos during her visits and was clearly keeping him so entertained. She even sent us a toy reco based on Dewey’s behavior (I bought it and he loves it!). We are so grateful we found her! Thank you, Sarah!

I hired Sarah for the first time to come by while I traveled for the Thanksgiving holiday. My two senior boys took to Sarah quickly during the meet and greet. She asked good questions and took notes on their care. I felt confident she would do great with the visits. She met all expectations well on the visits! Her communication was good and updates from the visits were organized. It was easy to see she took care of all of the things my guys needed and was quick about asking any questions for anything unexpected or that didn’t come up during meet and greet. I came home to two cats who having been well fed and entertained by Sarah, almost seemed to forget I was gone! I’d recommend Sarah and would definitely hire her again in the future!

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.
Inglewood cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $38.00. 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!

We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care our Sarah provided while we were away! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing our fur babies were in capable, loving hands. Sarah followed all our instructions to the letter and we also received a thorough update with great photos. I could tell that Sarah went out of her way to get to know our cats' unique personalities and give them attention. We came home to two content kitties. We are so happy to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

Sarah took wonderful care of my cat, Casper, while I was away. She arrived reliably for every visit, made sure he always had fresh food and water, and spent quality time with him. I always felt confident that he was in good hands. Her updates gave me real peace of mind — each one let me know she had been there, how Casper was doing, and that everything at home was in order. On one occasion, there was an unexpected issue with some equipment, and Sarah was quick to respond. She was happy to arrange another visit the next day, stayed in touch throughout, and worked with me to figure out what was wrong — ultimately resolving it herself. That level of responsiveness and care made a big difference, and I’d happily trust her with Casper again.

Sarah did a wonderful job watching our cats for us! We highly recommend her. She was very thoughtful and accommodating. When a cat tree we ordered was delivered, she offered to assemble it for us! She was always on time and let us know each day exactly how long she spent taking care of the cats and the house (collecting mail, watering plants, etc). She especially took great care of our one anxious cat, administering medication each day.
Response from Sarah
I loved taking care of Cinnamon and Lili! so glad they enjoyed their cat tree! 🫶🏻

Luna was in the best hands while I was away. She’s usually shy, but she warmed up so quickly thanks to the gentle care and attention she received. I love getting sweet updates and photos—it made being away so much easier. I came home to a calm, happy cat, and I’m so grateful for the kindness and trust shown throughout. Highly recommend!!

Sarah is the epitome of perfection as a cat parent. She is a true guardian of the feline persuasion. She has gone above and beyond as a cat sitter and a cat parent. She has a deep love and admiration for the animals in her life. She takes time to think through interactions and challenging situations. Sarah is not impulsive, she is calm and collected - traits I admire, because I, like most people, need work in these areas.

Sarah is a very kind and knowledgeable person. Her love for cats/animals is one of her best qualities. She has always had a cat since I met her close to 20 years ago. She’s nursed baby kittens she found under her house back to life, rescued others and found them homes. We can say she is a cat lady, and I would say that is a great thing! I trust her with my pets. She has a special touch with animals. Growing up as part of the 4H club she learned a lot and discovered her love of animals. She puts her own cats first even in tough times. Sarah would be a great choice to care for your cat(s).
