Learn More About Tessa
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love getting to know the unique quirks and qualities of each animal. It’s really rewarding when you can earn a cats trust.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two kitties- Juno (an orange boy filled with energy) and Roy (the most loving, gentle black cat). Roy has bladder blockage issues and Juno has some severe allergies so I am very experienced with supporting a cat’s individual medical needs.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
Safety is crucial and I understand that it can be a bit nerve wracking to allow someone in your home. I will ensure the safety and security of the home and little ones by following all entry and care instructions to the letter. Always using discretion and double checking the house before leaving.

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 $36.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!

Tessa is a wonderfully thoughtful and reliable pet sitter and cat owner. Sending updates, being attentive to every detail, and clearly making sure he felt loved and comfortable. I came home to a happy, relaxed pet and an immaculate home. In navigating one of her cat's recent illness, she was highly skilled and caring at administering his medication, hands-on, and attentive. I cannot recommend her more highly!

Tessa is amazing with cats. She is caring, compassionate, and has a unique ability to intuit needs before they arise. Her own two cats, Juno and Roy, are happy, healthy, and totally loved, and she brings that same care to any pet she looks after. You can trust her to make any animal feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
