I'm a lifelong cat lover with years of cat-sitting and rescue/sanctuary experience, caring for cats with a wide range of personalities and needs. I treat every cat like family and provide loving, attentive care tailored to their unique routines. I'm comfortable giving medication and happy to work with special needs kitties. I keep communication clear and send updates so you feel reassured while you're away. Since I know schedules vary, I'm reliable with visits and updates and I respect your home like it's my own. Based in Los Angeles, I volunteer with rescue cats and bring that same level of patience and care to every visit. Whether it's feeding, scooping, playtime or just quiet companionship, I show up gently and consistently. Yeah, cats first, always.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have Brie & Cheddar; they are brother and sister both domestic short hair. Brie is a Calico and Cheddar is an Orange Tabby. I've know them since they came to our nursery at the rescue I volunteer with, just a couple months old in 2025.

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

A new cat parent, I like meet the parent(s) the kitty or kitties in person or virtually as time may be limited. I send a client information form for all details while I'm taking care of your pet and ask any questions from that form, if needed. Confirmation as always and I feel communication is key so I like to send pictures and verbal updates each day, new parent or returning.

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

With shy and/or anxious cats. I follow their lead. I will spend time with them showing them I'm safe. I may sit on the floor and move closer if allowed, but over time, nothing is rushed. I will even lie on the floor, which I've found works well with some kitties, like a current client, he would run from me, but now he is all cuddly with me ever since that first time. Another client, he is still anxious, but I do get closeness, even if for a few minutes. I find if you just give them space and/or spend the time, be patient with them, they'll become more comfortable, if even for a little while. Of course, not taking time away from another kitty or kitties in the home, equal love always!

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 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!
