I am a young professional active in the cat-welfare communities, here to help make sure your fur babies are well taken care of when you can’t be there!
I currently have a one-eyed ginger boy that I foster-failed a little under two years ago. I’ve had cats all my life and foster with various rescues in LA (kittens from as young as 5 weeks) - some undersocialized and hissy, some very scared, others easily overstimulated and sometimes especially needy.
I am young but very responsible and experienced with caring for cats and did pet sitting throughout college before taking a few years off while settling into full time work, but I’m ready to get back to it.
Learn More About Michaela
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
As a cat-parent who travels frequently for work and leisure, I know that it can be stressful to leave your baby. It makes me happy to know that I can help others have a stress free time away from home, while meeting and spending time with new kitty-friends.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
My one-eyed ginger shorthair, Slinky! I’ve had him since he was 6 weeks old and a very scared, sickly foster. We went through countless surgeries before I decided I just couldn’t part with this one of a kind boy.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Think carefully about your cat(s)’s personality and what they need. Some cats might do better with just a short amount of time each day, some might prefer overnights. I’m a firm believer that very social cats that are used to adventuring may even do best in boarding facilities with open play sessions. Communicate these personality traits with sitters and on your profile so they can best help you to care for your pet.

Michaela was great! One of our girls can be a little prissy, and Michaela handled her no problem. She provided consistent updates and was very communicative so at no point did I worry about my fur babies. Highly recommend!

Michaela was amazing!! Both of my cats warmed up to her immediately - including my incredibly shy and nervous girl! She sent a ton of pictures and videos with updates, which made me feel very comfortable with her being in my home and confident that my cats were in great care. I highly recommend Michaela, and I'll be hiring her 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!
