Hello, my name is lainey!
I’ve spent my entire life growing up with and taking care cats. I am incredibly patient and have experience with all different types of cats, which is why I’m so excited for the opportunity to meet you take care of yours! I current have one grey cat named griffin who I found as sick kitten on the street. From that moment I invested everything into his recovery and we’ve been inseparable since. I recently graduated college and I’m taking some time off so I have plenty of availability. Can’t wait to meet you soon!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

To me, cat sitting isn’t a job it’s my lifestyle! Just like we have different personalities so do our pets and though not all are high energy and super social, especially with with strangers in their house my favorite part is making they are safe, healthy and comfortable while their parents are out. I understand how hard it can be finding somone you can trust with your cat and your home, which is why I love to do meet and greets ahead of time to reassure you I have nothing but your best interest at heart.

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

I know being alone can be super stressful for a cat and so that’s why I think it’s important to find somone who knows how to make your cat feel safe and comfortable. Somone who has experience with administering medication and has worked with all different types of cats and knows what to in all instances even emergencys (like me). A very important part of the job is communication! Making sure the sitter is well aware of all percise needs not only the cat but of the house. Also, a sitter with open availability incase plans change is always good. (Like me)

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! I am recent college graduate and am taking little break. I have a very flexible schedule with open availability!

Lainey did a great job taking care of our senior kitties while we were out of town. We loved receiving pics of the girls and were happy they were in good hands. We would be happy to work with Lainey again and would quickly recommend her to others.

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.

La Canada Flintridge cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $36.00. 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!
