Cat Sitting in Los Angeles, CA
Known as “The Cat Whisperer” amongst my friends and family, I am often volunteering to cat sit when anyone is planning an out-of-town trip and taking care of the neighborhood strays. I’ve had cats my entire life and currently share my apartment with a fluffy darling of my own (Pierre) who is spoiled with affection just as all animals should be. He is an FeLV+ special needs cats so I always take extra care in making sure he receives supplements and lives as stress-free a life as possible... **10% off for new clients! Use code XAE379PV**

I’ve had cats my entire life and currently share my apartment with a fluffy darling of my own (Pierre) who is spoiled with affection just as all animals should be. He is an FeLV+ special needs cats so I always take extra care in making sure he receives supplements and lives as stress-free a life as possible. I am very comfortable administering oral and topical medications. I also co-parent the local feral cats with a neighbor. We take turns feeding them and giving them flea treatments as needed. My service area includes the Los Angeles neighborhoods of Echo Park, Silver Lake, Angelino Heights, Los Feliz, Eagle Rock, Mount Washington and Highland Park. I’m open to nearby areas as well. I know how it feels to travel and worry about how your sweet kitties are doing. I’ll keep ‘em fed and loved while you’re out enjoying the world, and send lots of updates so you’ll know they’re all good!

once again Jess is the best! we are so lucky to leave our cats in her care. one of our cats is a senior cat who needs a fairly robust medication regime - and Jess handled it with no concerns. plus she sends THE BEST videos and photos of the cats. I wish we could give more than 5 stars!!!

Jess is always the kindest, most loving person that we could ever have look after our precious cats. We trust her completely, and they always have a good time with her. Also, her occasional photos and video of the cats are some of the best portraits we have of them. Always a delight to have her look after things..

Jess is INCREDIBLE!! She took amazing care of my two cats. She even learned to give one my cats her insulin shot, taking her own time to come practice. It is so clear she is a true animal lover. She sent us daily videos of my cats getting tons of love and attention and my cats clearly adore her. Truly could not have asked for a better experience or a better person to care for my little ladies.

I feel so calm when I leave my cats in Jess’s care bc she cares for them as lovingly and obsessively as I do. She is also an INCREDIBLE CAT PHOTOGRAPHER! I’m talking about card, calendar, poster quality sexy cat portraits. We are very grateful to have such a kind, detail oriented and talented caretaker.

Another great stay! My cat-parent guilt can feel overwhelming, but Jessica sends so many updates, photos, and videos, that I can easily see that my kitty is having more fun during his stay-cation than I am while traveling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:

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 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!

Jessica was the best cat sitter we’ve had to date! My cats clearly loved her and she was even able to get our more skittish cat to feel calm and comfortable with her in such a short window of time. She sent us great pics / videos so we knew they were in great hands. Would 100% recommend her.

Jessica was absolutely amazing with my separation-anxiety prone kitty. She went above and beyond over the holidays to keep him comfy & us informed - we even got to video call him on Christmas! My kitty adored her and we really appreciated her thoughtful care of him. 100% recommend to anyone!

Jess was outstanding! I would ask her to care for my cat again in an instant. I usually have him stay with a friend, so this felt like a big leap for me. Jess stayed in constant communication. From the meet and greet to the last day, she sent so many pictures and videos. My cat was completely smitten with her as well. Thank you!

Jessica is THE BEST. I worry about my pets a lot when I’m away but not anymore. This cat lady right here is the cat’s pajamas, if you will. Conscientious, prompt, responsive, considerate, thoughtful, gentle and caring, above and beyond helpful. The icing on the cake is that she sends me these professional quality photos of my cats that belong on the covers of magazines. Every single time! I am actually going to print her photos of my cats on canvas and make a series. She’s an incredible pet portrait photographer. Last but not least, my cats LOVE her. Like if they could talk I’m pretty sure they would ask me to leave more often than I do so they can get the glamour spa treatment and extra cuddles from Jessica. Ten out of five stars!

Jess took such wonderful, loving care of our cats. We HIGHLY recommend her services. Gravy and Crenshaw were happy, calm and their same old selves when we got back from vacation, and that’s 💯 thanks to Jess’ attention and kindness.

Jess is an amazing cat sitter! Bruce loved her immediately and she was super attentive to his every need. Jess sent great pics and videos every visit and was quick to respond in any communication we had. She’s obviously a true cat person and I feel so happy we have found her! Am planning on booking her regularly.

Jessica is from my dreams! Seriously, the best pet/house sitter I could’ve hoped for. She did everything with such care and tenderness. Like, it seemed like she actually fell in love with my cats and they definitely fell in love with her. I didn’t feel an ounce of worry. TEN STARS.
