I had originally arranged for one month of care, as I needed to be in California to help support a loved one undergoing very serious cancer treatment. What was planned as a month unexpectedly extended, and I ultimately needed to remain away for an additional six weeks. August graciously adjusted and continued his stay without hesitation. During an already stressful and emotional time, his flexibility and steadiness meant more to me than I can adequately express. From the very beginning, he demonstrated professionalism, warmth, and genuine attentiveness. He sent photographs or short videos daily, often with thoughtful comments to accompany them. It was immediately clear that August understands the loving relationship between humans and their whiskered ones and cared for Evie as if she were his own. He even brought several puzzles for her to enjoy and shared creative ideas for keeping cats mentally stimulated and active. His depth of knowledge and experience were evident, and it is clear he brings not only kindness but real expertise to his work. He was reliable, communicative, and thoughtful in every detail. I felt consistently reassured knowing my cat was not only being fed and monitored, but also comforted and engaged. That peace of mind — especially while I was focused on supporting a critically ill loved one — was priceless. What stood out most was his kindness and calm presence. Animals sense that — and so do their humans. I returned home to a content, well-cared-for cat and a home that reflected his respect and responsibility.

August has been an absolutely wonderful cat sitter. We have booked with them twice now, and they have consistently gone above and beyond for our cats. August is incredibly attentive, flexible, and always prioritizes what is best for our pets. During our first booking, August agreed to drop what they were doing and check on our cats on a day they were not even scheduled to sit. It was during that visit that they discovered one of our cats had sadly passed. While this was an incredibly difficult situation, we are deeply grateful for how quickly, compassionately, and responsibly August handled it. August communicates clearly, provides thoughtful updates and photos, and truly cares about the animals they watch. We will always book with August whenever they are available and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and dedicated cat sitter.

Repeat customer here! Second time booking with August and knew my big crew would be in great hands. August always goes above and beyond to give the kitties excellent attention and care, and to regularly communicate with me. One of my kitties wasn't feeling well and require a drop off to urgent care. August took my kitty across town, in the evening, without hesitation and got him checked in without issues. August even followed up with me even after their booking was complete to check on the status of my kitty. August genuinely and effortlessly cares about all his clients (human and feline). A truly valuable characteristic.

August was an exceptional cat sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. He was consistently communicative, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient with our cat, which gave us a lot of confidence from the start. When an unexpected emergency arose and our cat needed to go to the emergency department, August handled everything seamlessly and kept us informed throughout, helping to ease what was a very stressful situation. His calm, capable approach truly made a difference. We are extremely grateful for his dedication and care, and couldn’t be more appreciative of his services.

August is so reliable, communicative during sits, and sweet to our cats. Our cats are all on different meds/foods/supplements and August is on top of all of it! I can tell my cats are a big fan of them by the pictures I receive. August also pays a great deal of attention to our cats - they noticed a difference in our CKD kitty whose health has improved over the past few months, which is impressive given how many clients they have!

We keep coming back to August because the level of care is just different. They take care of our cats as if they were their own, and you can feel that in the details. It never feels like a quick check in. It feels like our cats are genuinely being cared for the way we would want. They are incredibly reliable and communicative. Their updates are thoughtful, and their photos are honestly one of our favorite parts. You can tell they spend real time with the cats, play with them, and pay attention to their individual personalities instead of just going through the motions. They have also adjusted their schedule for last minute changes, which we really appreciated. One of our cats requires medications and a special diet, and even with their extensive experience, they still listened carefully and followed our instructions. They gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. It’s rare to find someone this attentive and genuinely caring. We trust them with our cats and highly recommend them.

August was an exceptional Cat Sitter. Highly knowledgeable, very personable and very invested in my kitties. August watched over my five cats while we were away for a week. I got photos and reports on each cat for each visit. I had one kitty who was acting out of the ordinary and behaving very scared. August took the time to do an extra check on him and try and help troubleshoot what was going on. They were genuinely very invested in the welfare of my cats, which is exactly the person you want looking after your family. I highly recommend August! and will definitely be booking with them again. Very happy to have met August. my kitty family also sends their thank yous.

August, as usual, was the best! One of my kitties got sick right before I went out of town, the other is a gremlin that will make herself sick by eating anything she isn't supposed to and needs all the attention in the world. August provided great, thorough updates that put my mind at ease - someone was paying attention to all the right things when I couldn't be. On top of that, they take great photos and are very responsive. Cannot recommend highly enough!

SO highly recommended! August took incredible care of our two cats while we were away, and went above and beyond in every way. They kept us consistently updated with notes and photos, and paid close attention to both our boys’ routines and needs - especially one of our boys, Pesto, who has ongoing issues with constipation. Not only did they track Pesto's BMs (truly heroic, lol), they also came up with smart, proactive solutions to help things along when he got backed up. Their attention to detail, kindness, and communication made us feel so at ease the entire time we were gone. Would absolutely book with August again. Five stars isn’t enough.

August was incredible with my cat who was particularly anxious when I was away this time. He took extra time and care to ensure she was feeling comfortable and happy and had great suggestions on how to make her feel more at ease. My trip was so much easier knowing my kitty was in such good hands!! I came back and she was very relaxed and happy!

August is a fantastic sitter! They have taken care of our 3 cats in the past and done a great job, and were flexible and accommodating when we needed to add extra visits because one of our cats had a lot of illness ups and downs prior to our departure. They are timely, communicative, and always send lots of great photo updates!

August was great as usual! I was out of town super last minute and they were able to make time to visit Pisho on such short notice. I got great pictures and updates and Pisho looked so happy and well taken care of!!

First time using Meowtel and was spoiled with such an incredible sitter. I mainly needed a momma kitty and her 7 babies to be looked after and August was the perfect fit. Having vet experience, especially in the kitten nursery, they gave all the kitties the best care and answered all the questions I had. August was very communicative, shared so many pictures, and is an overall wonderful human. I am so grateful!

August was so great with our cats! He followed all of their care instructions to a T and left very thorough updates. Having him care for our kitties gave us such peace of mind while we were away… we would love to have August watch our kitties for us again in the future.

August gave my cats phenomenal care. I so appreciated the photos and updates while I was away so I could see how the cats warmed up to them and never worried.

August was amazing!! My kitty was so obsessed with them and I felt so at ease knowing she was being taken care of so well 😻August gave really detailed updates and took fantastic pictures and communication was super clear and really easy! I would absolutely recommend and will definitely be using them again in the future!

August was communicative and dependable from start to finish, which made us confident our cats were well cared for while we were away. The daily pictures and updates were a highlight! We would gladly book August again and highly recommend them to anyone needing a reliable cat sitter.

August is my go-to cat sitter. They're so great with my cats and remember all the little kitty quirks. My shy cat remembered them and came out from under the bed to say hi to her new friend.

August is amazing! We have three cats, two of whom are incredibly shy. One of those two rarely warms to anyone new unless they've spent ample time with that person and I'm our presence. August managed to give our super shy kitty beds every single day we were away. All three kitties were super calm and happy when we returned. He is truly a cat whisperer.

August was an absolute GEM-- both as a cat sitter and a human being! It is tough trusting someone enough to not only bring them into your home, but to entrust them with caring for one's feline family. Yuri, our senior kitty, who is generally pretty social, was absolutely enamored with August from the start. August was able to pick Yuri up and cuddle him, which is an honor only bestowed upon my husband and me. So, that is saying a lot! As a sitter, August was timely, communicative, and engaging. Yuri was obviously well cared for while we were gone. August sent plenty of photos and videos as we requested (My favorite was of August picking Yuri up and cuddling him! Yuri looked so content!). Yuri got his supplements and plenty of play time. We are already talking about having August return for service within the next few months. Which I think Yuri is VERY excited about because I am 100% sure he misses August!

August did a wonderful job taking care of our 3 cats, including one who required a daily pill. They were very communicative, sent daily photos, and provided detailed updates. I would definitely recommend August and use them again!

August was great! Excellent communication to put my being away at ease. Great energy - my usually skeptical old guy came right to him! He took care of our diabetes girls injections as well. Everyone was happy when we got home 😁

August was very attentive and patient while working with out very shy kitty. They even won her over to come out of hiding with some light churu bribery. August sent daily photos and updates that helped us feel confident that our kitty was well cared for. Will definitely invite them back for future sits!

August did a FANTASTIC job for me and my Kitties. They provided prompt daily updates, with some of the best photos I've ever had taken of them. My usually on the shy-side-of-life felines opened up to them almost immediately. August had them playing and living their best lives. I think that's partly due to August's lovely, warm energy. I highly recommend August for your cat sitting needs.

As always, August took such great care of our kitties while we were away. Even our shy baby started to open up more this time - a true testament to August’s patience and cat whispering capabilities!

This is our second time working with August. we have incredibly skittish cats and they were completely calm and happy when we came home. We love August!!

August was timely (coming in the morning as I had requested) and gave Freckle her meds easily it seemed and everything went well! I appreciated the pictures and knowing she was in good hands.

August took great care of my cat and sent detailed updates and photos. My cat was happy and calm when I got home. Highly recommend! Thank you!

August was exceptional! Professional, communicative, flexible, and such a cat lover - could not have asked for a better sitter. They were attentive to details and provided daily photos and updates, so I had great peace of mind while I was away. 10/10 would recommend!

August did a great job caring for my girl! She’s very scary at first and August had her warm up pretty quickly by being patient. I appreciated the photos each visit. Would recommend :) Thank you August!

August is great, he's taken the time to win over my shy foster and is patient with my territorial old man. Highly recommend!

August was exceptionally kind and perfect with Evie. We had a quick pre-visit the day before I left on my weekend trip and she ran right up to him! she remembered how sweet he was!

August was great! August came over before I left to meet my cat, which was very important to me because she is a more shy recently adopted kitty. I was nervous about having a random person come over, and thought it might stress out my cat more, but August was able to connect with my cat and give her pets and treats. They were great with text updates and always made sure to get some photos. I really appreciate August and would not hesitate to use them again.

August came through in a clutch when my cat unfortunately did not mesh well with the original sitter (and I was already out if the country!). They were - luckily - available; confirmed the job quickly and set up a meeting with the original Catsitter to transfer my keys. I was worried how my high anxiety kitty would react meeting August, given the situation. But I needn’t have worried! They were fantastic with him and even drew out the other, very shy cat. I cannot thank you enough, August, for your help, I will definitely be booking you going forward!

august was a lifesaver for my ten day vacation abroad! my cats had never been without family for more than 2 days and august helped all of us cope by giving timely updates (for me) and checking in and playing with the cats every day. both my cats can be shy but i could tell they warmed up to august quickly from the photos- they loved sitting on the couch together and getting pets! aside from that, august went above and beyond to help adjust my security camera after the cats messed it up, and also helped bring in packages that had piled up in our absence. we cant recommend them enough!! so thankful for a great first experience with a catsitter :)

Kara was very sweet and super considerate with Whiskey. The first day she met her she gave her treats and had no probables coming before the reservation to meet her. She texted updates every day she was with her and gave me videos and pics to go with it. She’s great.

August is wonderful! My cats got comfortable with them quickly and I really appreciate their clear communication and frequent photo updates. It’s great coming home to calm cats and a well cared for home after each trip.

August did a wonderful job with our two cats! He was consistent and sent great updates. We returned home to two happy cats, and he also kindly got our mail and packages. I would strongly recommend August to anyone in LA looking for a catsitter--he's the best I've ever worked with!

August was simply the best and made my first Meowtel experience a great success. My cat warmed to them very quickly, and by the end of the week they were practically best friends. August went above and beyond and exceeded all expectations: they were very communicative, detail-oriented, sent great photos/videos, and put my mind at ease knowing my cat was in fantastic hands. They even introduced my cat to her new favorite toy (and was nice enough to gift it to us so that playtime can continue!!), and she gets so excited every time I bring it out for her now. I will be booking August for all of my future catsitting needs and will be recommending them to all of my fellow cat parent friends!

Kara was great! Reliable. Communicative.. My shy cat who never comes out for anyone even warmed up to her.. She went above and beyond to keep my cats entertained, even bringing her own toys and turning on videos for them, which they now love!  What a relief to have found her!! 

Kara did such an excellent job!!! She was able to troubleshoot our litter robot, play with both our kitties, and send us many photos and videos. We felt that she was very attentive and caring and even offered to check on our cats if our flight got delayed. Highly recommend!

Our kitty, Rosebud, has been diagnosed with some anxiety issues for which she is on several medications. This was the first time we’ve gone away since her diagnosis, and I had to find someone well adept at administering medication and dealing with a special needs kitty. I’m so thankful that I found August. From the initial meet and greet to the daily check-ins, August was a fabulous communicator and instilled confidence that I’d left Rosebud in their capable hands. August is adaptable and works to make even the most anxious of kitties feel comfortable. I’m so thankful to have found August!

August did a great job with my boy and made me feel super comfortable leaving him when I went out of town for a couple weeks. they were very attentive during our meet and greet which made me confident they understood my baby’s needs and his routine. I also appreciated Augusts flexibility when my boy needed a few last days of meds after I was gone, they had no problem helping him with that and making sure he got all his doses. they were also super responsive and sent great pics and updates the whole time! highly recommend August for all your kitty care needs 😸

August was absolutely fantastic, friendly, and detail-oriented. They even suggested a better feeding routine that I plan on continuing. In video updates of playtime it was clear both of my kitties adored them. I’m usually an anxious parent and was very far from home but with August I had no worries. A+++

August was amazing with our kitties (as per usual)! One of our cats has been much more anxious than normal when it comes to mealtime and August was able to make the whole experience comfortable for both of our cats as well as for us.

August is wonderful! They came to meet my kitties before I went on my trip which gave me time to explain things like temperament, medication, feedings, play time etc. When I was out of town August made sure to check in with me after every visit to let me know my kitties were fed and happy. great pictures too! Thank you August!

This was our first time leaving our cat and 2 kittens with a sitter so I was a little nervous. August gave our cats much needed love and playtime. I felt reassured by photos and text updates that everything was going smoothly! Thank you!

August was fantastic and really spent the time to get to know my shy kitty. August sent daily photos, updates as well as check-in/check-out notices. I knew my kitty was in good hands with August, thank you August!

August is amazing! They were excellent at sending detailed updates and great photos and videos of our cat while we were away. August was reliable and attentive. Our cat really bonded with them! We would be thrilled to hire August again anytime.

Kara was great with all six (!) of our kitties! Even our most skittish boy gave in after just the second day and was taking treats from her. She sent a lot of photo and video updates too! :)

I have a very anxious cat who is incredibly attached to me and doesn’t take to new people well. So, naturally I was hesitant to leave her alone but I was impressed with August from our initial meet. They noted down important details and tried their best to get my shy kitty to open up! August took great care of her and left my home neat and tidy, too. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend August, coming from someone who did a lot of research beforehand!

August was a great caretaker for our cat while we went out of town for a few days. Played with and medicated our sassy-asthmatic boy without any issues!

August was fantastic with my shy kitties! patient and consistent and won them over after a few days. August was also very communicative and attentive to all the details of my cats’ care - which I really appreciate! Would definitely hire again.

August was great with my cranky old lady cat. They were quick to respond and sent lots of great pics! I would absolutely hire them again.

August was awesome - giving wonderful updates and charming my little kitties out of hiding. Would absolutely love to have August watch my cats again!

August was so kind, attentive, and professional! Our shy little baby warmed to August immediately, and we loved all of the cute pictures and video updates. A wonderful sitter!

This was our first time hiring an overnight sitter for our 5-month-old kitten, and we needed someone we could trust to care for her as if she were their own. I feel so fortunate to have found August! Not only was she very detail-oriented, but our very shy kitten warmed up to her quickly!

Kara was wonderful with our sphynx cat Petra. Our cat warmed up to her right away during our Meet & Greet, which was a plus. She is very attentive, caring, thorough and an excellent cat sitter. She knows her stuff! She sent daily updates, images and videos which was great. We are very happy with her care and attention and lucky to have her as our sitter. Petra was happy with her as well and now has a new person-friend. We will definitely be contacting Kara again for future sitting. Petra will be happy to see her again for sure!

Kara is awesome! My cat, Kujo, loves her. I always feel like he's in good hands with Kara. She sends a text and a picture of Kujo with every visit. She's professional. She's kind. She's experienced. I highly recommend Kara!

August took great care of our cats! He was attentive, took direction well, and communicated with us often. We look forward to having August watch our cats again soon!

August is our go-to sitter and we always feel comfortable leaving our cats in their care. Whether it’s a long trip, or a weekend away, they always send great photo and video updates and manage our cats’ very different personalities seamlessly!

I’ll definitely book August again next time we leave town. Our cats were very well cared for, and we appreciated the daily photos that August sent. Great communication overall! We also appreciated the meet & greet before we booked to introduce our cats and home. Thanks a lot August!

August is THE BEST! We were hesitant to travel until we found them. They took the best care of our two shy pandemic cats and allayed all our anxieties.

August went above and beyond for my kitty. They sent great pictures and updates, and made sure Guru (my cat) was well taken care of and purring with glee.

This was my first time using Meowtel. I was lucky enough to get the best cat sitter ever. The communication and care was above and beyond. My special needs kitty was no problem for August. I will definitely be a repeat customer and will be recommending August. Great experience!

This was the 2nd time having August care for our cats, and it was so nice knowing they already understood the routine. Our little crew was well cared for, and we came home to happy cats! Thanks again August!

August was so kind and helpful to me and so sweet to my kitten! My kitten was very well taken care of. She loved getting to play and snuggle with August. I will definitely be reaching out to August again in the future!

August was amazing! This was our first experience with a cat sitter, and they made the experience so easy and stress free. August was so flexible and understanding when our travel plans changed around and was willing to adjust as needed. Thank you August!

August was amazing! We had our meet and greet on Tuesday evening and right away on Wednesday August started taking care of our kitties. Quite simply the care given to our kitties was fantastic and they all thoroughly enjoyed the time they spent being pampered! We absolutely will be contacting August to care for our kitties again and we now have someone we feel we can trust with their care when we travel! Thank you August and everyone should reach out to August to care for your little ones!

so happy we found august! they were so great with our kitty and sent us timely updates during our trip leaving us with peace of mind during a hectic vacation. thank you!!!

August is an AWESOME sitter!! I especially appreciated how compassionate, reliable and responsive he is - communication was great. I loved receiving photos & updates. My kitty kiddo was well taken care of. Thank you so much!

Kara was an awesome sitter! Her communication was amazing and her attention to instructions was spot on. My kitties really liked her and when I came home they were happy and content. I will definitely use her again!

August was a great kitty caretaker. They seemed very on top of things when we met and I felt confident going into the reservation. They were extremely communicative throughout and provided the cutest photos too! I would definitely book with August again.

August was very professional and truly cared for our cats. They are shy and she was very very good with them.

August went above and beyond during the week they spent caring for our two kitties! From the meet and greet, it was clear how much he cares about kitties and all the details involved with their care - really reassuring me from the get go that our babies were in good hands with him! It’s never easy to be away, but it was much easier because we knew they were receiving great care from August. I can’t recommend them enough!

As always, August went above and beyond for our kitties while we were away. I couldn’t recommend them more! August provides thorough updates and, more importantly, attends to our kitties’ needs as if they were their own. I feel so grateful to have found such an attentive and reliable catsitter. Truly A+ care from start to finish!

August was amazing with our two fur babies! Despite our complicated setup, they expertly tended to their needs and provided detailed updates during their visits. 10/10 would recommend!

I couldn’t be more pleased with August’s fantastic care-taking of Rosebud. We returned home to a happy kitty and that’s all I could ask for, especially because Rosebud has some anxiety issues and can be a little sassy at times with sitters. But Rosie and August have developed a wonderful relationship…Rosie feels so comfortable with August and we always know she’s in great hands when we’re away! Thank you August!

It was so great working with August. Incredible attention to the cats and every detail with amazing updates for great peace of mind while we were away. 10/10.

August is the best! My kitties love August so much😻It is so nice to leave town and have no worries. I have special needs cats and they are well taken care of❣️

August is seriously THE BEST!!!! They took such great care of both of our kitties (one very outgoing and one very shy). Super responsive and responsible. I was able to enjoy my vacation without stressing about my kitties at home!!!

August is the BEST. Trustworthy, caring, punctual, attentive, thoughtful & loving. I have 2 cats (w/ different needs) & both have adored August since the first visit. When I’m away I don’t worry about them anymore because I know they’re in such steady hands. August checks in, sends updates, pics & videos of my babies AND always goes above & beyond to care for them & their space. I HIGHLY recommend you hire August!!!

Kara was an excellent cat sitter! She was knowledgeable and extremely attentive to their needs. She sent photos and videos of my kittens while I was away and made me feel at ease knowing they were well taken care of.

August was amazing with my two girls. My shy tortie was a little apprehensive but she warmed up to August fairly quickly. August was very attentive and detailed in their updates. They made sure to include every single detail and sent amazing photos of my girls. I felt at ease knowing my girls were in great hands. I highly recommend August and I will be booking again in the future.

August was a great caretaker for my cat while I was away. They administered oral medications with no issues and made sure that my cat got the food she needed and some extra love on top of that. I felt confident that my cat was in good hands while I was away!

August is great at communicating his visits with my kitties!

August was a dream come true. Their knowledge about and love for cats runs deep and it felt great to leave our cats in such good hands. The meet and greet was smooth, the interim communication was great, and we were provided with lovely updates and photos throughout the trip. We were delighted with the entire experience!

August is always helpful when cat-sitting and a great communicator w/ pictures.

We had August care for our 2 boys for the first time this week. Aug came to visit prior to our trip. Everything was great. The boys were in great moods when we returned, and that does not always happen. We are happy we have found someone that we can trust with their care when we are away. August is a true pro!

August is amazing, they're my go to. I always appreciate the updates and how sweet they are with my cats.

Best sitter ever! Provides detailed reports and all the pictures.

my kitty is so well cared for!

We are happy repeat customers! August is diligent, thoughtful, and a Grade A kitty whisperer. Your kitties will be in the best hands with August!

August always takes wonderful care of my 🐈‍⬛🥰

August always goes above & beyond in taking excellent care of my girl! ✨

August was wonderful! I felt so comfortable knowing my cats were in such good hands. I loved the photos and the detailed updates with every visit!

I can’t say enough nice things about August. I’ll be concise with a list of adjectives— professional, kind, calm, thorough, tidy, reassuring, and responsive. I feel safe and secure that our kitties are in good hands while we are away. The peace of mind we will have for our next trip after this experience with August will be invaluable.

August is the best. Complete peace of mind whenever we work together. 10/10 fully recommend.

August is always a great caretaker for our kitties! Very detail oriented which I love. I always receive the BEST photos too!
