Cat Sitting in Lawndale, CA

Hi cat parents!

My name is Martha and I have been a cat lover all my life. Unfortunately, I wasn't ever able to have a cat growing up because my dad was allergic. I adopted my first kitty, Peaches, in September 2017. My friend fostered her and her siblings and I fell in love. She has changed both mine and my husband's lives. She is truly our daughter and love her to pieces. We added two kittens (Ebony and Pepper) to our family. They were rescued from a storm drain in November 2022 along with their brother who my friend adopted. We think they were about 7 weeks old. Unfortunately we just lost Pepper (Aug 2025) but we welcomed a new kitten named Pixie.

Prior to joining Meowtel in 2019 I pet-sat for my same friend who fostered Peaches. She has 2 Golden Retrievers and a kitty...
Hi cat parents!

My name is Martha and I have been a cat lover all my life. Unfortunately, I wasn't ever able to have a cat growing up because my dad was allergic. I adopted my first kitty, Peaches, in September 2017. My friend fostered her and her siblings and I fell in love. She has changed both mine and my husband's lives. She is truly our daughter and love her to pieces. We added two kittens (Ebony and Pepper) to our family. They were rescued from a storm drain in November 2022 along with their brother who my friend adopted. We think they were about 7 weeks old. Unfortunately we just lost Pepper (Aug 2025) but we welcomed a new kitten named Pixie.

Prior to joining Meowtel in 2019 I pet-sat for my same friend who fostered Peaches. She has 2 Golden Retrievers and a kitty. I have stayed in their house and brought Peaches along to sit for their pets when they have been away. I have also volunteered at the NKLA adoption center in West LA and currently volunteer at the spcaLA South Bay Adoption Center. I love kitties and would love yours as my own.

All visits include feedings, water refills, litter box clean up, play time and plenty of scritches if your kitties will allow me to. I will also bring in your mail and any packages left at your door. I look forward to caring for your kitties in whatever they need be it just making sure they have enough food and water and a clean litter box to full-on play sessions. I will keep you updated during each visit by letting you know how your kitties are doing and will send pictures and videos. If I see anything out of the ordinary I will let you know right away.

I am open to doing overnight visits, please contact me first to discuss the details.

COVID-19 update: My husband and I are fully vaccinated as of April 2021.

Preferred areas: Lawndale, Hawthorne, Gardena, El Segundo, Torrance, Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach but willing to travel a little farther.

Learn More About Martha

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been working with Meowtel since the end of 2019. I pet sit for my friend’s 2 dogs and cat before that.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love meeting new kitties and their parents. Providing them with what they need while their parents are away means a lot to me. Being able pet and hopefully snuggle with the friendly affectionate ones is a bonus.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes I have 3. Peaches is 9, Ebony is almost 4 We recently lost Ebony’s brother Pepper but welcomed a 3-month old kitten named Pixie, who is now 1.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I am available on all holidays. All of my family is local so I don’t travel for the holidays.

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

I give them their space and let them come to me. I will check on them to make sure they are ok but won’t push their boundaries.

This was our first time having Martha watch our kitties and it went amazingly! My skittish former street cats warmed up to her quickly and they settled into a nice routine with her here (I can tell because the are begging me for treats at the time she usually stopped by). It definitely helped me relax on vacation to know they were in expert hands. Looking forward to having her back!

Our experience with Martha was fantastic! We have three different cats with three different sets of needs, and she was able to give all of them exactly what they needed. She also was on time and very professional for the meet-and-greet session, and she sent us text updates and multiple photos at each visit. We would highly recommend Martha!

As always, Martha was great. She responded right away to let me know she was available on those dates. It was very convenient to do the key exchange. She took pictures of the babies everyday and the communication was excellent. Whenever we leave, she is our go-to kitties caretaker.

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.

Lawndale 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!
