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.

Tessa was a fantastic petsitter for our two very energetic cats. She communicated very clearly, sent fantastic pictures and videos of the cats, followed all directions flawlessly, and our cats loved her!

Tessa and my kitty got along great, and I received awesome photos and communications throughout the time of their visits. I felt very comfortable leaving my baby in Tessa’s care, and I have already booked again.

Tessa was fantastic - super communicative and responsive. She helped us out by watching Kevin, letting us know how he was doing, sending photos and even brought in some packages. Definitely a fan would recommend. thanks a ton!

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.

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 $33.00. 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.
