I'm Alexandra | Cat Sitting in Los Angeles, CA

Hi there, I’m Alex! I'm an animal lover and former cat, dog, and chicken mom. I’ve had the pleasure of living with and helping care for 7 cats over the past decade and have been cat sitting professionally for two years. I'm kind, conscientious, and have a gentle energy that cats love, which is wonderful because I love them back!  I'll care for your cat and your home as if they were my own. I'm a conscientious, reliable, and communicative Ivy League grad in her 30s who has worked in education and nonprofits and is now pursuing a career in film. I have a stellar record as a renter, house sitter, and cat-carer. I begin every visit with your kitty with social time. I'll ...

Learn More About Alexandra

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love providing cat parents with peace of mind that their little one is well cared for and safe while they are out of town. I know from experience how nerve wracking it can be to leave a precious pet and it’s such a pleasure to alleviate that concern! I also love the special bond that develops with each new cat as I build trust with them. It’s hard to beat the satisfaction of getting a slow blink from a previously wary cat!

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

I offer free meet and greets (either in person or via a video call) to make sure I’m a great fit for you and your cat. During the meet and greet, I’ll connect with your kitty, we’ll discuss a check-list of your cat’s wants and needs for each visit, I’ll take notes, and I’ll answer any questions you have.

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

I let each cat set the pace for our interaction. I pay special attention to their approach and body language (ear and tail position) to gauge how much they want to connect and adjust pets and personal space accordingly. I always speak in a soft, comforting voice, say their name, and give slow blinks to establish safety. I then use the routine of the visit to build trust – providing food, treats, a clean litter box. I avoid loud noises, sudden movements, or encroaching on their space. It may take a few visits, but even the most anxious cats tend to warm up to me!

Frequently Asked Questions

Los Angeles 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.
