Learn More About Michael

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

I’ve had cats my entire life, and I’ve been fostering bottle babies and other rescue kittens for years. I’m comfortable with feedings, meds, socialization, and everything in between. I’ve also cared for senior cats with health needs, including my own girl Chloe who lived to 17. Whether your cat is a kitten, a senior, or somewhere in between—I’ve been there.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I treat your home the way I’d want someone to treat mine—with care and respect. I double-check doors, windows, and litter box areas, and I always make sure cats are accounted for before I leave. I keep routines consistent and stay in touch so you feel confident everything’s under control while you’re away.

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

Patience and space are key. I always let the cat set the pace—I’ll usually sit on the floor and keep things quiet and calm so they can check me out on their own terms. I’ve worked with plenty of undersocialized fosters and shy rescues, so I’m used to reading body language and adjusting based on what each cat needs.

Michael is a fantastic, kind and caring cat sitter who I will definitely book with again. He was extremely attentive to my senior cat, and I could tell that he truly enjoyed spending time with her during each visit. He was very communicative and provided plenty of updates throughout my time away.

What can we say, Michael was very communicative, thoughtful, and clearly experienced. He checked in during each visit and made sure Lucy felt comfortable and cared for. We really appreciated the updates and the attention he gave her and also shared a tip in which we will use moving forward. We highly recommend!

Michael was great at letting me know how the cats were doing, asked questions when needed, and worked with me on any issues that came up over the course of a couple weeks to provide the cats with the best possible experience. Was a very caring individual toward the cats. Total pro, highly recommended.

Michael was so wonderful with my cat Batman! he was very attentive and Batman warmed up to him quickly! he was very efficient on sending me uodates, pics, and videos so I could see how my little man was doing! I appreciated that he was prompt in timing to the times I had requested. I highly recommend him for your kitties to hang out with!

Michael is an incredible cat daddy. I've lost track of how many fosters he's helped, taking on the task of bottle feeding kittens, facilitating active births, litter box training, and dispensing medicine to seniors. Michael has experience with cats of all ages and loving them so, so well. I feel very secure leaving my senior cat, Zoe, in their care and hanging with their two welcoming cats and whatever foster babies they're supporting.

If Michael becomes your cat sitter you lucked out. He's a kind and skilled caregiver and foster of newborn bottle-feeders through end of life seniors, he is a life-long cat lover and owner - his 2 kitties now are his former fosters!

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.
