Dakota is an amazing cat sitter! Her amazing spirit and vibe draws animals to her! She is able to handle challenging interactions and situations with grace and she is extremely attentive to each cat's needs. Her calming and engaging presence makes my cat feel extremely welcome and open to interaction. She has always gone above and beyond, staying extra time to ensure my cat is well cared for and attended to. I absolutely love the updates and photos because I can rest easy knowing my cat is safe while I am away! I would 10/10 recommend Dakota because she is great with cats, attentive, detail oriented, and she truly goes above and beyond to provide the same level of care she gives to her own cat!

Dakota is truly a cat whisperer. She is my go-to pet sitter whenever I am out of town. I have two cats and one dog which is a lot for anyone to manage and she does it with ease. One of my cats is super nervous and skittish and she is one of the few people that he warms up to. She has the right balance of gentleness and sternness to care for the most paranoid-avoidant cats. I never have to worry about my babies because she’s a great communicator and will give me frequent updates and photos via text. If you’re looking for a kind, warm-hearted, well-rounded cat sitter, use Dakota!

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.
