I'm Michele

Cat Sitting in Los Angeles, CA

I am a lifelong cat parent. Currently, I live with my grey and white cat Henry and recently said goodbye to my 21 year old tuxedo, Charlotte. I know how stressful it can be when I have to leave my babies at home and I want to ease that stress for my clients. I will love and care for your pets, as though they were my own,... I am a lifelong cat parent. Currently, I live with my grey and white cat Henry and recently said goodbye to my 21 year old tuxedo, Charlotte. I know how stressful it can be when I have to leave my babies at home and I want to ease that stress for my clients. I will love and care for your pets, as though they were my own, while you are away.

I love all animals, but cats have always had a special place in my heart. I am skilled with both senior/elder cat care as well as kitten care.

When I’m not hanging with cats, I am a full-time high school History and English teacher. My hobbies include writing, traveling, meditating, and swimming.

Learn More About Michele

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

I have had cats my whole life, and growing up would watch my neighbors’ cats while they were out of town. I have been a sitter on Meowtel for three years.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes. I have a sweet, cuddly, playful white and grey cat named Henry.

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

I give them space and allow them to come to me. I try to exude a quiet, gentle energy to make them feel calm. I also use food and treats to coax them out.

Michele was very prompt and thorough with Prosciutto. She provided pictures, video, and a complete wrap-up of how she was doing. Will use again in the future.

How many stars do you give a cat sitter who literally saved your cat's life? Michele watched Pinecone while we were away and noticed he wasn't eating and was urinating outside of his box. She called us and then made arrangements to take him to the hospital where he got emergency treatment for a urinary blockage. She picked him up when he was ready to be discharged and made sure he received his medications. She called up and sent us pictures with consistent updates. She was kind and loving towards him. To say she went above and beyond is an understatement.

Michelle is amazing with my Bengal cat! She immediately gets my cat to feel comfortable and affectionate with her and provides great updates. I can see in the videos my cat is in great hands when I’m away. I would recommend her to any pet owner!

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 $34.00. 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!
