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

As soon as I could speak, I relentlessly pestered my parents for a cat. My parents (begrudgingly) caved when I was 5 years old, and a tiny white cat named Snowflake came into my life ❄️ Snowflake and I grew up together, and she taught me everything about how to properly treat and respect animals. My current cat/surrogate child is named Haley, and she's been with me for 10 years and counting! She was a shy and suspicious shelter rescue who wanted nothing to do with me at first. After giving her plenty of space and time, she now follows me everywhere and insists on sleeping on top of me every night 😭 It's thoroughly reinforced the value of patience! Between taking care of Haley and my roommate's senior cat, I'm experienced with flea treatments, eye drops, addi...

Learn More About Emma

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

My favorite part of cat sitting is discovering the unique quirks of each cat. Every cat is different, and it's so rewarding when they feel comfortable enough with you to be their (often somewhat strange) selves.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am often available during holidays, and I list my availability as far in advance as I can. If you're interested in a particular holiday, feel free to ask!

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

When I'm cat sitting for a nervous cat, I'll make sure to talk to them throughout the visit so that they can acclimate to my voice and feel confident that I'm not trying to surprise them. If they're comfortable enough to be in the same room as me, I'll sit on the floor and initiate playtime from a distance. Most importantly, I don't rush them - patience and following their lead is essential. Nothing touches my heart more than a shy cat coming over to me for the first time!

Emma has watched Tycho several times now and she is consistently a dream cat sitter. I feel at ease when I'm away because I know my cat is being very well taken care of. Emma provides detailed updates, gets my cat to play, and sends amazing pics/vids of Tycho. My cat lurves her and I think she is a great cat sitter and would highly recommend her.

Emma is thoroughly conscientious and devoted to her charges. This was the first time I left the cats alone for more than one night. They told me when I got home that Emma was careful and considerate and, please, if I did this again to ask Emma to come back.

This was my first experience with a cat sitter and Meowtel, and I am soo impressed with Emma. I highly recommend her and would book her services again. Her updates were detailed and had plenty of pictures and videos. But the most important part, my cats absolutely looooved her, even my very shy cat warmed up to her very quickly. With her amazing updates, and the fact that my cats fell in love with her very quickly, I knew my cats were in great hands and I was able to enjoy my trip worry-free.

This is the second time I booked Emma. I always know my cat is in great hands with Emma. The pictures and videos I get back are amazing, the updates are relevant and amusing, and my cat doesn't panic barf while I am away. Tycho enjoys her company which is important and makes me feel less anxious while I'm away. 10/10 will absolutely book her in the future.

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.
