Learn More About Kelly

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have one senior kitty named Nugget that I fostered through a volunteer shelter for months before adopting. Despite being a veryyy clinical cat, she brings us nothing but joy and I would do anything to make her happy and comfortable.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Don't worry about responding to each of our visit updates if you're on vacation; we'll send them regardless! I've hired several sitters through Meowtel myself, and that's always something I like to add so my clients don't feel the pressure to respond to every message, photo, or video I send them during a reservation :) Please also send your preferences on key drop-offs before the reservation just in case your sitter can't get ahold of you before the reservation's end!

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

My process is entirely dependent on the client's preferences! I will typically do an in-person meet and greet in the week before a reservation to meet the cats and pick up any required keys or fobs. Beyond that, I'll follow the client's instructions to ensure their cats are fed, watered, played with, medicated (if need be), and anything else that will help them feel loved while you're away! I've also helped keep plants watered, brought in the mail, and even dealt with an attempted robbery during one of my visits, so I feel I'm extremely prepared to tackle anything cat sitting can throw at me :)

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

Several clients have told me that I have a knack for getting their anxious or extremely shy cats to open up, cuddle, and play! I carefully introduce myself to these cats and pay special attention to their physical tells and boundaries to avoid making them uncomfortable. Beyond that, it's just a matter of patience, caution, and persistent kindness that gets particularly timid little ones to open up to me (and treats, if that's a client-approved method for the more food-motivated fur babies :)

Kelly was professional and responsive to my messages. Upon the meet and greet, she took many notes and had great questions in preparation to care for my cats. She provided great text updates and I absolutely love the fun videos/photos.. it really made me miss my cats and couldn't wait to get home to hug them. I'm glad my cats were getting the attention they needed while I was gone. Thank you!

Kelly was great to work with this week ! She took thorough notes during the meet and greet, which was appreciated because Benny and Newman are very particular with food and brushes. After each visit she sent an update with photos and video, which kept my mind at ease while away. My cats were very happy in the photos with how spoiled they were with pets, brushes, and cuddles….and I was happy they were in good hands.

Excellent and above and beyond as always. The fact that Kelly actively takes notes regarding your felines needs/preferences during the meet and greet demonstrates the care your furry companions will receive while you are away. As a persistently detail oriented person I feel completely at ease that the kitties are always in extraordinary hands with Kelly.

Kelly is extremely bright and sweet and knows exactly how to handle our 3 cats who are normally very shy. She is timely and follows all directions and allows our family to be comfortable with our fur children while we are away.

Frequently Asked Questions

Los Angeles cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
