Starla knocked it out of the park yet again, and this time with a longer stretch of us being away, she made a genuine connection with my cat who is notoriously shy! I worry a lot about my cat when I'm away but I know she is safe with Starla. Starla went above and beyond multiple times.

Starla went above and beyond to take care of our kitties over the holidays. She brought many different toys and treats to give them and spent a lot of time earning their trust and playing/interacting with them. We got detailed reports every day including lots of cute photos. I felt very comfortable because she is knowledgeable and professional. We would definitely book again!

Starla was so amazing with my Neemo! She was very very VERY detail oriented and checked in with me to make sure that Neemo had everything he needed to be as comfy, safe, and happy as possible. She truly went above and beyond any other cat sitter I have ever booked before on Meowtel. She even went out of her way to assist when the litter ran out (which was my bad for not ordering enough). 10/10! Will definitely book Starla again!

Starla was very caring with Floki from the beginning to the end. she made sure he had everything he needed, food, water, litter, attention and play time. She sent me feedbacks after every visit with important details. And most of all, Floki loves her!

We are thankful Starla was able to care for our two (older) guys over the holidays. Both require medication and we were nervous to leave them for the 10 day break. But Starla eliminated worries and ensured they had their required medications. And she took the time to really get to know our cats' personalities. She is like Mary Poppins for cats -- so many toys! She got both of our guys to play. Her daily updates showed that she takes cats well being seriously. We felt our cats were well taken care of and did not have to worry while we were away.

Starla was very attentive to my kitties who need a lot of attention and she was great at playing with them and giving both much needed playtime. She was great at providing novel fun time for them and accommodating their needs.

We choose Starla every time because she's a loving charmer with our cat and a great communicator. Axel is a 12 year old healthy but shy guy and she turned his behavior back into a fun - loving kitten. Five stars!

Starla patiently coaxed my shy kitty into coming out to eat and play. By the end of her stay, Starla had my two kitties leaping in the air and dashing around after toys. I’m so grateful Starla took the time to really get to know both cats, to cater to their eating quirks and give them the play and cuddles that they each specifically require. I did not have to worry about my cats while I was out this week. Thank you, Starla!

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 🐱

Second time using Starla for our very shy cat Axel. She tends to his needs, and gets him to socialize using amazing skill, care and patience. Excellent in every way, Starla puts our mind at ease while we're away and entertains us and the cat in the process. Five stars plus!🐱

Starla always goes above and beyond to make sure our kitties are comfortable and that we are in the know about anything and everything going on while we are away. She was great at giving our cat their oral medication and always brings fun toys at playtime. She is super knowledgeable about everything cat and has been the absolute best with our other cat who is not that great with strangers, if she can get him to open up, she can do anything. Thanks Starla!

Starla is caring, reliable, detail-oriented and a great communicator. She took purr-fect care of our feline for ten days even though she was running blind so to speak because our cat is an invisible phantom when strangers are around 🐱

We keep asking Starla back because she really goes above and beyond to make sure our cats are as cared for as possible. She sends detailed and consistent updates so we are never worried about how the cats are doing. She is great with playtime, especially with our less social cat, and is also great at sharing photos.

Starla is a cat whisperer! My very shy, anxious girl is so comfortable with her, and my voracious boy LOVES the treats she brings. She sends great updates and photos/videos, and she remembers so many details about them. Starla is very conscientious and affectionate, and gives me a lot of peace when I travel for work. She also has great advice about cat-care, and I trust her expertise.

Starla did a great job following instructions and checking on the cats. She provided frequent updates on timing and made sure that she knew what she needed to do for the cats before arriving to our home. She even very kindly brought in a package for me as I was on vacation.

Starla is very detail-oriented, and extremely caring towards the animals. It is evident that she truly loves cats, and that she is genuinely devoted to doing the best she can, even when challenging situations arise. She is also very clean and considerate toward the house. She takes time to learn the instructions regarding the house and the cats, and she follows them accurately. Thank you, Starla!

Starla was an absolute dream to work with for our caretaking needs from beginning to end! Starla is exceptionally communicative, she went above and beyond during our initial meeting and gave great care toward getting to know and making sure our cats were comfortable. We received consistent and detailed communication each day we were away, with photos attached, which eased any and all anxieties in being away from our cats. I recommend Starla wholeheartedly for your pet caretaking needs, you will be very satisfied and at ease with her services. We will be checking for her availability whenever we need future cat caretaking services. Thank you so much Starla!

Looking for a compassionate cat sitter that goes far and beyond? Look no further, Starla is the one! I had a last minute work trip out of the country and I was scrambling to find a cat sitter for my three fur balls. Starla was quick to respond and provided instructions on what needed to be done next. She came over to my place to meet in person and for her to meet and greet my cats. This also gave me the opportunity to explain instructions and to let her know where everything was at. She is a really sweet and detail oriented person. Communication was spot on! She did an excellent job letting me know when she was heading over to my place, she provided updates and details about the cats (any changes to diet, behavior, poops, etc). She sent me ongoing videos and pictures. She played with my fur balls. Whenever there were accidents, she notified me and cleaned up the mess. She asked permission if she can bring treats and toys for my cats. I also have a hamster, blubber nugget, Starla was super sweet to keep eyes on her as well. My cats loved her! It is always hard to trust someone to look over your pets, but Starla won my trust. She went FAR AND BEYOND for my cats, hamster, and in general kept my home safe. She will be the first person I call whenever I need a cat sitter. I highly recommend Starla! Thank you.

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 $36.00. 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.
