I'm Ione | Cat Sitting in Los Angeles, CA

My name is Ione Dellos, and I am a professional cat sitter in the LA area. While I can look after all cats, I specialize in anxious, timid, and nervous cats who sometimes need more special attention than others. I take great care in making sure every cat I look after feels safe, and their privacy and needs are respected. What sets me apart from other sitters is t...

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

I have been cat sitting since I was fifteen, and started as a volunteer at my local shelter to keep the kitties with feline AIDS company, since no one wanted to visit them, but they deserve as much love and attention as any other cat. Cats are an absolute joy in my life, and I simply love being in their presence. I always try to make sure every cat feels loved and taken care of when their owners are gone, and I always make sure to give them extra special care and attention.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a cat named Beynish, who is orange and slightly evil, but still such a sweetie pie. He is a light and joy in my life even when he flies at my face. Below in my photos, you can see how he always sleeps next to me!

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

With cats that are particularly timid or anxious, patience is the most important thing. You can never rush a cat into trusting you, it is something you have to earn. I give anxious cats lots of space, always stay low to the ground to lower my threat profile, turn away from them to make them feel less intimidated, and let them come to me when they are ready.

this is our second time booking with Ione and we have nothing but wonderful things to say! Our usually timid kitties came out to greet Ione immediately. We were able to relax during our time away knowing Ione was taking care of our kitties. If you book with Ione, you will not regret it!

Once again, Ione’s care for our kitty babies was truly above and beyond. They treat our boys like their own. Their updates are thorough and heartfelt. When an unexpected emergency occurred during our stay (not sitter’s fault), Ione was extremely professional and proactive, and we were able to quickly resolve the issue while still enjoying our vacation. 10/10 sitter. Highly recommend.

Ione was a wonderful pet sitter. My cat is a bit weary of new people and she went above and beyond to understand his quirks and make him feel comfortable. She did a wonderful job taking care of him and I felt confident he was in loving hands while I was away. Thank you, Ione!

Ione was wonderful! She was so patient and had our shy kitty acting like a ham in no time! Additionally, she was a pro at making sure both kitties ate their own food.

Ione is amazing with shy pets! She was so gentle and patient with my shy boy. She sends detailed updates with the cutest pictures and clearly just loves cats. She even took the time to sweep up the litter my kitty flung. Thank you so much Ione!

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations.

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 $38.00. 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.
