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

I travel a lot myself and I've had cats of my own for 20+ years. I started sitting for Meowtel because I know firsthand how much people miss their kitties and how happy-making it is to get pix and updates! It really does make ME feel good to give THEM peace of mind. As a cat sitter, I want...

Learn More About Amy

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Knowing a client's concerns are addressed and they can enjoy their time away from home. As a long time cat parent, I know how important it is to feel sure your meow is being taken care of when you are not there. Oh, and PLAYING WITH ALL CATS!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Hekla (grumpy beautiful tortie) and Bettles (punky adorable tuxedo)

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

Cats don't understand cause and effect - they get into things they shouldn't, knock things over and chew on stuff that isn't good for them! I always ask about windows, screens, water access, AC settings, whether they like to eat plastic or tape (they DO - I put mail packages behind closed doors!), put toys away, WASH food bowls, change water daily, double check that doors are locked, etc. And if I notice anything unusual about a cat's behavior during the visit, I always mention it.

Amy was fantastic! She's knowledgeable, easy to communicate with, and it was clear she enjoyed playing with our cat! She made our cat feel very at ease while we were gone and we felt great comfort knowing our cat was in good hands.

Amy was responsible, compassionate and professional! She coaxed our very shy rescue cat out from hiding places and connected with her on the first try. I recommend her highly!

I always feel so confident leave my kitty in Amy’s care. She truly spends a lot of time getting to know my kitty and understanding her personality.

Amy truly lives up to the name “cat whisperer” - having her take care of my tigers is like sending them to a spa :)

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

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 $39.00. 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.
