I'm Laura And Kareem | Cat Sitting in Long Beach, CA
Hello, fellow cat lovers! This is Laura. My husband, Kareem, and I look forward to providing your fur babies with top-notch care. Background and Experience Both Kareem and I have had feline companions for more than 20 years. We've taken care of cats in all stages of their lives, from bottle-fed kittens to senior kitties with special needs. We've even successfully trained a cat to use the toilet! We both have experience administering medications in liquid form (ex. Clavamox) form as well as topical medications (ex. Mirataz or flea treatments). However, I (Laura) also have experience giving pills (ex. Famotidine) and asthma medication (Flovent, an inhalant) using a special device for cats called an AeroKat. Sadly, I’ve had two cats succumb to kidney disease so I’ve also learned how to administer subcutaneous fluids. Beyond caring for our own cats, we've volunteered for trap-release-neuter programs to help protect community cats. We've humanely trapped and transported community cats to their spay/neuter appointments and helped get kittens adopted. We genuinely just love cats, even the stray I caught peeing on my car’s windshield. What a rascal! They truly are unique, fascinating, and sometimes hilarious. Whether they’re your cherished pet or a street cat, we just feel an affection for them and a desire to keep them safe. More recently, we lost our fur ...

Glaucia
We booked Laura again and she was awesome as we remembered last time. She was punctual, great and detail updates with photos and most importantly super caring with the kitties . She administered medication to 2 out of 3 of our fur babies and was very successful with that. our cats already trust her and they look forward to see her evert time. We love Laura calm demeanor and will definitely have her back when we need agaín.

Laura came to look after our kitty while we got married this weekend, and we couldn’t have been happier with her services. she went above and beyond, even sending me a picture of our cat with a little top hat saying congrats! She was truly fantastic and I’ll hire her whenever she’s free!

First time Meowtel users and couldn’t be happier with Laura’s care of our two adult cats. She kept us well informed of how things were going and replied to our questions quickly. Our older cat is shy and grumpy and I was worried the most about him but Laura was able to give him his medication daily and he was already greeting her at the door by the second visit! She was also very proactive about communicating any concerns about our senior boys health. Highly recommend.

Laura was fantastic!!! This was the first time I booked her to care for my 3 fur babies. She followed my instructions 100% and It did not take long for the Cats to warm up to her and welcome her at the door every time she came in. Two of my cats needs medication daily and she executed with no problem ( that was impressive). Even I have to chase them when I do it lol She was kind, punctual, polite, professional and provided very detail updates! She even collected my mail and helped bring some deliveries inside the house. I will definitely book her again because I know I can have piece of mind knowing she will take care of them as if they were hers. I highly recommend Laura. She became my favorite cat sitter and the cats agree 😊When I got home cats were playful and happy. Whatever she did made them feel loved and taken care of it because usually I come back home from a trip to mad cats! I guess they approved her too. 🥰

Laura was very kind and patient with my very anxious cat. She sends detailed updates with photos which is very helpful. she was able to slowly have my cat warm up to her (which happens rarely). I am very much satisfied with Laura’s care and would definitely book again for our next trip. thank you Laura 🫶🏻

Frequently Asked Questions
Long Beach cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $42.00. 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.
