I'm Cathy

Cat Sitting in Long Beach, CA

Hi! I have loved animals since I was a small child. As a child, I lived in housing where animals weren't allowed but always took an opportunity to play with everyone else's pets and would watch family members' animals. As soon as I got out on my own during college, I started my furry children collection. I have four fabulous fur babies aka cats named Nala, Ty, Emma Jean and Myrtle. My kids are always waiting at the door for me when I come home and they all love to follow me in the bathroom and all around the house. I wouldn't have it any other way! I have taken care of many of my friends and families fur babies over the years and would love to continue to do so for you! Please message me and we can talk more about how I can help... Hi!

I have taken care of many of my friends and families fur babies over the years and would love to continue to do so for you! Please message me and we can talk more about how I can help. I also have experience with administering medications via various routes such as oral, topical, ophthalmic (eyes), and subcutaneous (under the skin), feeding tubes, special diets, diabetes management with insulin, etc.

When I meet new cats, my approach is simple. I let the cat lead me. They will tell me what they want and need. I sit down and try to be on their level so they feel comfortable. I hold out my hand and let the sniffs begin. I do not immediately pet them because I believe in taking things slow. First impressions are lasting impressions. I like to use a calming voice and call them by their name/nicknames. When in the home, I let them lead me around and give them pets, scritches, and love where they feel comfortable.

I am home most of the time so I am very flexible with scheduling and last minute requests. Here to help for your convenience.

I am very trustworthy. I am happy to follow any special instructions or requests you may have.

This week

Cathy was amazing! Our cat Zara is a bit of a cranky cat, but loved Cathy! We had some ants in Zara’s food bowl and Cathy cleaned it up graciously!!! We loved Cathy and would absolutely recommend her to any pet owner!! We were a little anxious leaving Zara with a non family member for the first time, but I would totally feel comfortable leaving her knowing we have Cathy!!! I couldn’t be happier!!

This week

This was the first time Cathy took care of our fur babies and we could not have been more pleased. We have a multi-cat household with some “special requirements.” She asked great questions during our meet & greet to make she got things exactly as we wanted. She was happy to work with our outdoor visitors as well. Even our curmudgeon cat really took to her! We highly recommend Cathy!

My kitty took to Cathy right away and got lots of love while I was gone. I really appreciated Cathy's daily pictures/videos and communications, I will hope she is available again next time I'm away!

Cathy has become our go-to catsitter because she has done wonderful work every time she's taken care of our cats for us. We can trust that our cats will be well cared for, not just with the basic feeding and cleanup but also personal attention and time spent with each of our cats.

Cathy was fantastic! She took great care of my cat and went above and beyond during every visit. She was incredibly responsive and sent thoughtful, detailed updates each day, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It was clear she really cared. I highly recommend Cathy to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate sitter!

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.

Long Beach cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $35.00. 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!
