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

Hi Cat Parent, Cats have always captivated me. I admire their individuality, physical prowess, fuzzy faces, languid beauty, and napping ability. I share my home and bed with two rescue cats (8 and 12 yrs) and my yard with up to 6 community cats - one who lives on the porch and her (currently) 5 pals. I am experienced in being the Cat lunch lady - curtailing bullying and making sure everyone gets fed. I’m especially focused on cat diets - as my older guy has a fussy stomach and GI issues. I’m always monitoring his litter box leavings, noting water intake, and stomach issues (and cleaning them up). Most importantly, I understand it’s the cat’s decision on how they will interact with me. My primary role in their life is to be their caretaker - to provide clean water, be diligent in feeding as directed, meticulous in litter box cleaning, ready to play, gentle (or firm, cat's choice) in brushing, and patient as they get to know me. During my time with your cats, after the needed tasks are completed, I will be “the...

Starla was a fantastic catsitter who went above and beyond. She charmed my shy boy kitty with treats and toys and was ever so patient with my mommy’s girl cat. She took the time to learn their tendencies, quirks, and preferences around eating, playing, and interacting. She figured out that my boy cat has more of a ground style to play whereas my girl kitty is a flyer, and she was so very obliging with my girl’s pickiness. We’re so lucky to have Starla - thank you!

We love Starla! She takes great care of our kitties. They have warmed up to her so much...we think they prefer her to us! She takes great pics, plays with them and keeps us updated. She goes above and beyond-even fixing the kitties water dispenser. We are so grateful to have her!

This was our third time using Starla in 2024, and as always she goes above and beyond in every way. This booking was the longest, during our vacation of more than three weeks, and it was very reassuring knowong that Starla was taking brilliant care of the cat and keeping an eye on the house the whole time. Honestly, we've learned some lessons about cat play and loving that we will apply to our own practices now as well. She's the best 🐱

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

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.
