Cat Sitting in Los Angeles, CA

Hi! I’m a lifelong cat lover with two rescues of my own—raised from tiny foster kittens into healthy, spoiled adults. Over the years, I’ve cared for cats of all temperaments: shy hiders, affectionate lap-seekers, senior snoozers, and those who need daily meds (oral or topical). I always take the time to learn your cat’s routine, quirks, and comfort zones, and I follow care instructions closely.

I know how hard it is to find ... Hi! I’m a lifelong cat lover with two rescues of my own—raised from tiny foster kittens into healthy, spoiled adults. Over the years, I’ve cared for cats of all temperaments: shy hiders, affectionate lap-seekers, senior snoozers, and those who need daily meds (oral or topical). I always take the time to learn your cat’s routine, quirks, and comfort zones, and I follow care instructions closely.

I know how hard it is to find a true cat person—someone who understands the intricacies of feline care, respects their space, and actually enjoys their company. As someone with a flexible, mostly remote job, I have the time to offer quality visits during the week and will never treat your cat like an afterthought. My goal is always to be the sitter I would want for my own cats: patient, reliable, attentive, and full of genuine love for your furry friend.

Learn More About Melody

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is getting to know each cat’s unique personality and slowly earning their trust. I love the quiet bonding moments—whether it’s through play, treats, or just sitting nearby—when they finally choose to come closer.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I have two kitties, Miki and Miko—sisters from the same litter who I raised from tiny foster kittens. They’re now a little over two years old and have totally different personalities. Miki is the social butterfly who loves everyone she meets and wants to be part of everything. Miko is more anxious and shy at first, but once she trusts you, she turns into the sweetest, most loyal little love bug. Earning her affection has been so rewarding—and it’s a big part of why I love caring for all kinds of cat personalities.

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

I start with a complementary meet and greet to go over the kitty’s routine, and any specific instructions the cat parent may have for me either for their kitties or for their home. The cat parent can reach out to me anytime if anything comes up, and I’ll make sure to be quick and responsive. I will send daily photos and updates, and flag any issues that may come up as well!

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

I carefully follow all instructions from the owner, double-check doors and windows, and keep a close eye on the cat’s behavior and environment. I’m respectful of the home (leave no trace), lock up securely, and make sure the cat is safe and comfortable before I leave. I also keep communication open with the owner, sending updates and reporting anything unusual right away.

Melody quite literally saved the day! Somehow before we had left, our cat had gotten out. Melody took note of our cats personalities and knew something was wrong. Needless to say, we are very thankful to Melody for going above and beyond for our girls. I will be booking with her again!

Everything went great. Melody cared a bunch for my cats. She was flexible and responsive. She went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable, even when they had a day where house noises were scaring them. We came home to happy, healthy, cuddly cats after our trip. Thank you Melody!

Melody is a wonderful sitter. She promptly scheduled our first meet to go over everything and get the keys. She helped care for my kitten and older cat for a week while I was out of town. She took excellent care of them. She sent me daily updates with photos. They both trusted her and came out to her instead of hiding. I would book Melody again when I need cat sitting for travel.

Melody has been an absolute delight working with my two cats - I came home from an international trip for them to act as if I never left, they were so well cared for. She is very attentive to their mood and wellbeing and sends check-in photos and updates whenever she visits. Would recommend to anyone looking for someone to entrust with their fur babies’ care!

Melody was fantastic. She came by and took care and played with my cat Maggie while I was out of country. She sent updates with photos and video every time she visits. Will book again for my next trip.

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!
