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

Hello, South Bay cat parents! I'm Kelly, I adore cats, and I've cared for over 50 of them over the past several years. With 12 years of experience caring for my first cat and 4 years with my current fur baby, I have developed a deep understanding of their unique needs and behaviors. I also fostered cats and kittens for the Best Friends Society of LA's shelter. Growing up (and now working) in the area, I happily provide cat sitting services in the South Bay (Torrance, Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, and parts of Hawthorne). I am typically available on weekday mornings, afternoons, and some weekends. That said, please feel free to inquire about my availability outside of those times, as I can accommodate most reservation requests regardless of the specific timing. I have experience with a very diverse range of cats, from those with medical issues to those who have suffered neglect and abuse. I've learned to provide love, care, and patience to help them feel safe and loved again. I am well-versed in several types of medication administration and have directly administered topical and oral medications to cats with varying temperaments. As a cat owne...

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 :)

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!

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.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $43.00. 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.
