I am a cat mom of two, a calico Penelope, and a Russian blue, Misty (named after my grandmother's Misty.) As a cat mom, I know a lot about caring for and entertaining kitties and the feline heart. I am passionate about helping cats stay calm and comfy.

Please invite me for any and all last-minute or long-term feedings, a cordial visit while pet parents are away, playtime with toys. You can expect very clean bowls and fountains, plentiful pettings (if welcomed), or even medications or diapers as needed. I'm happy to help. 🐾

I live in Century City Los Angeles, and prefer to stay around Culver City, Brentwood, West Hollywood, Marina Del Rey, and Santa Monica.

Learn More About Catherine

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have worked with cats of many personalities and persuasions over the years, and have two cats of my own. I also watch cats for family, aside from here at Meowtel.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Getting to know the cats' personalities. It's also fun to see their toys, favorite food and treats, and how they live.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite here on Meowtel is when I get to meet a new kitty or two, help them with their medications and make sure they get treats, fresh food and water, and that their area is squeaky clean before I go.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two 4-year old cats, Misty and Penelope. I adopted Penelope from our neighborhood, and met Misty when she was for sale by owner, in a household of her siblings.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Cats are very sensitive animals and they feel your vibe. Find someone who is sensitive and experienced. If you need them to administer medication, they shouldn't be too shy to do their job.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I would typically schedule a meet and greet where I come to the house, meet the kitties, and go over their food, care, and routines. This allows me to meet the cats in person so that they're more familiar with me, and connect the dots to make sure I am prepared to offer excellent care.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I make sure to understand and follow directions very carefully. I also make sure to ask any important questions and visit the cat's home before the parent leaves.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am usually available for most holidays with exception of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I'm available during 4th of July, Memorial Day weekend, and Halloween.

What is your favorite cat toy?

It would have to be the birdie on the string! A rather popular toy, loved by many but not all cats. Helps them get exercise and practice their reaction time.

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

Try giving them space and talk softly. Leave treats out for them, offer a petting hand at a distance, and let them choose you. Also try quiet cat YouTube channels with music and sound effects.

Catherine is awesome, especially if your cat needs pills! We booked her for a last-minute trip - she was easy to reach, flexible on timing, and she took amazing care of our sweet but stubborn elderly cat, ensuring that he got his meds consistently despite his best efforts. She is reliable, patient, and a great communicator, keeping us updated each visit. Thanks, Catherine!

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 $37.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
