Cat Sitting in Long Beach, CA

I formerly worked part-time at a cat rescue lounge, where I took care of anywhere from 30-50 cats! I recently switched to just volunteering.
While I’m there, I’m administering daily medications, tracking cat wellness, socializing new rescue cats, trimming nails, cleaning, scooping, feeding, training fellow volunteers, and helping guests.

When cat sitting a new buddy for the first time, I work with the cats level of space and comfort. If the cat likes to play, we get zoomin’! If the cat wants to be pet, we enjoy some calming cuddles together... I formerly worked part-time at a cat rescue lounge, where I took care of anywhere from 30-50 cats!

When cat sitting a new buddy for the first time, I work with the cats level of space and comfort. If the cat likes to play, we get zoomin’! If the cat wants to be pet, we enjoy some calming cuddles together. I’m used to all kinds of purrsonaities, so I’m happy to accommodate your kitties needs, whatever they may be.

On a typical visit, I enter the home, say hello to the kitty, take my shoes off and wash my hands. I then begin to pet/play/brush/do whatever is best for the kitty. I follow feeding instructions, wash and refill food and water bowls, and scoop their litter box while they’re eating to save time for more playing/cuddling after they’ve finished eating. If they have treats or catnip, I’ll offer that. I clean up all pet-related messes and sweep/wipe/tidy up their areas of use. I’ll do a once-over check for food, water, litter box, and anything else that may need tending before leaving.

Learn More About Emily

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

I’ve been cat sitting for 2 years now, but I’ve worked with a cat rescue lounge for 5 years. I’ve also had cats as pets for my entire life. I’ve been taking care of cats since I was a child!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, holidays are the times when cat parents need reliable care most, so I’m happy to offer my services on holidays.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toy is your cats favorite toy. Whatever gets the paws pattering is best. I like to get creative with what they have, and offer a new perspective for them. For example, if a scratcher is always in the same spot, I’ll move it to a new spot for a couple of minutes to entice them to use it (it works 99.9% of the time). If a cardboard box is always face up, face-down it goes, with a noisy ball under it. “What is it?!” I ask. It gets them every time. Enrichment is my game.

Emily did an amazing job looking after my little buddy - he looked so happy to play, it made me feel much better about being away from home without him. Would absolutely ask for her to catsit again - thank you!

Emily was amazing, she is everything you would need and want for your cat while you are away. She was timely, communicated every day, sent pictures and did everything that was asked. I could tell my cat really like her too. 5 stars for sure and I would totally recommend her.

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 $33.00. 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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!
