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 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 is a cat-first kind of cat sitter. Her priorities are making sure your kittens are feeling their best when you’re out of town. She’s done very well with helping medicate my cat when need be and is very detail-oriented with everything. Not to mention she’s also really easy-going and great to communicate with!

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 $34.00. 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.
