I'm Emma

Cat Sitting in Los Angeles, CA

As soon as I could speak, I pestered my parents for a cat. They 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 is named Haley, and she's been with me for 11 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, she now follows me everywhere and insists on sleeping on top of me every night 😭 It's thoroughly reinforced the value of patience...

My current cat is named Haley, and she's been with me for 11 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, she now follows me everywhere and insists on sleeping on top of me every night 😭 It's thoroughly reinforced the value of patience and letting a cat come to you in their own time! Between taking care of Haley and my roommate's senior cat, Taylor, I'm experienced with flea treatments, eye drops, adding pills/powders/liquids to food, and post-surgery care (tumor removal and leg amputation, respectively).

I’m currently cat sitting from the Mid-Wilshire area of Los Angeles. My visits include putting out fresh food and water, cleaning litter boxes, and providing however much playtime and affection your cat(s) desire. I'll let you know when I arrive for each visit and send a full update with at least one photo of your cat(s) before I leave. I'm happy to include before and after photos of the food, water, and/or litter boxes on request. Overnight stays are available for established clients on a limited basis.

Thank you for taking a look at my profile. I look forward to hearing from you!

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 - being patient and following their lead is essential. Nothing touches my heart more than a shy cat coming over to me for the first time!

My name is Rory and I was so fortunate to have Emma be my caretaker. I can be very shy and mostly hide under the bed. So each day after Emma put out fresh water and food and cleaned my litter box, she sat down across the room and we had a great chat. Every day she also sent my mom an incredibly detailed report and the most adorable photos and videos of me (if I do say so myself!). By the end of the week, I would wait for Emma on the couch because I trusted her and was excited to see her. Tell your mom to pick Emma! You’ll love her!

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.

Emma is an amazing sitter for my Mr. Biscuits. Her updates are so great - detailed and thorough, with cute pics and videos. My cat adores her - she gets all the purrs, playtime and cuddles he gives me. She really gets him and enjoys spending time with him. The sense of comfort and joy I feel when Emma sits for me is priceless.

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.

This was Emma’s and my first time working together and it couldn’t have gone better. First, we had a meet & greet that left me feeling really comfortable and assured. She asked all the right questions and had a friendly demeanor. Her visit with Mr. Biscuits went as expected. She messaged me on the app when she arrived, and sent a very thorough update message with pics and videos when the visit was over. I can’t overstate how much her reliability gave me comfort. 10/10 will reserve Emma again!

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.

If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.

Los Angeles cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $36.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with 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. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet!
