Learn More About Somaly

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes, I do! I have a 12-year-old senior cat name Tuna. She is a beautiful long-haired Siamese with big blue eyes! I also help my son with his cat too his name is Jiji and he is a 1-year-old orange tabby cat. My sister also has a cat name Toffee and as timid as he is he is still wonderful company. He is a very quirky mixed tabby cat.

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

When I meet a new cat parent, I start with a thorough consultation to learn about your kitty’s routine — feeding schedule, litter box preferences, play style, and any medical or behavioral notes. I believe cats thrive when their routines are kept consistent, so I tailor my visits to match what they’re used to at home. During each drop-in, I make sure all essentials are covered (fresh food, water, and a clean litter box), and then spend quality time giving play, cuddles, or calm companionship depending on your cat’s personality. After each visit, I’ll send a detailed update with photos and notes so you always know how your kitty is doing while you’re away. My goal is to keep them comfortable, happy, and cared for — as if you’d never left.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love to play with any cat toys really but my go to is the one that have a long stick attached to it kinda like a fishing pole.

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

I just keep my distance until your cat feels comfortable enough to approach me. I try not to give too much eye contact since that will raise their anxiety. But I will have a treat on hand to reward and show that I’m friendly.

Somaly is the very gentle and understanding, she provides a sense of security and firmness that even my cat can feel. My cat isn’t in the least social too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Long Beach cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $33.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
