Learn More About Sarah

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I live with 10 wonderful cats, each with their own unique personality. I have seniors, kittens, and special needs cats including one with cerebellar hypoplasia and asthma. Their names are Chinbi, Mimi, Haru, Lulu, Emmie, Buffy, Nori, Casey, Ember, and Zoey. They’re not just pets, they’re my babies. My experience caring for such a diverse group has given me a deep understanding of feline behavior, medical care, and how to make each cat feel safe, seen, and loved.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I start by learning everything I can about your cat and their routine. I want to know what makes them happy, what comforts them, what to watch for, and how you like things done. During the first visit, I give your cat space, speak softly, and let them approach on their terms. I always follow your care instructions closely and check in with thoughtful updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. My goal is to make the process easy and stress-free for both you and your cat.

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

I take a very patient and respectful approach, always prioritizing the cat’s boundaries and comfort. I avoid sudden movements or loud sounds, get low to the ground, and speak softly to create a calm environment. I let them sniff my hand and decide if or when they want to engage. If a cat prefers space, I honor that and quietly stay nearby so they know they’re not alone. I’ve cared for many anxious or shy cats, and I understand that trust takes time. I’m here to support them in whatever way makes them feel most safe. I also can’t resist bringing toys to all of my clients. I love to treat them as my own :)

We’re so grateful for Sarah taking care of our 7 cats while we were away for almost 3 weeks. Before we left, she did a house visit to meet the cats and go over their routines, which instantly put us at ease. While we were gone, she sent daily updates with pictures and videos, and let us know if anything seemed off. Our cats had positive interactions with her and clearly felt comfortable in her care. When one of them had an accident on the couch, she cleaned it up, informed us, and even brought a waterproof cover to help prevent future issues. She also brought toys to keep them entertained, which they loved! Sarah didn’t just feel like a sitter—she felt like a fellow cat mom. Her thoughtful care gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We hope she never moves so we can continue trusting her with our cats! 5 stars all the way!

Sarah did a wonderful job with my two cats. One of them is usually very shy, but she warmed up to Sarah right away. Sarah sent updates after every visit and followed all of their feeding instructions perfectly.

I can’t recommend Sarah highly enough! She cared for my cats with such compassion and skill, especially one who is extremely shy and anxious around new people. Administering gabapentin is usually a huge challenge, but Sarah handled it with complete ease and calm. She clearly understands feline behavior and created a peaceful, trusting environment that made all the difference. I felt completely at ease knowing my cats were in such capable and loving hands. Sarah is a true cat whisperer, and anyone would be lucky to have her care for their kitties.

I have two cats and if either of them is sick, injured, acting up, or even just a little off, Sarah is the first person I call. She has such an incredibly robust and comprehensive knowledge of cats based on her own firsthand experience with them, and there is no other person I'd trust more with my own aside from an actual veterinarian.

Frequently Asked Questions

La Habra cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $34.00. 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.
