Tone The Westside Cat Dad

I'm Tone

Cat Sitting in Los Angeles, CA

Sharing time with any cat is a gift of nature and the universe! That’s my world. Being a lifetime cat dad, and having been the "hooman" to so many cats, I’ve gathered a huge amount of experience. It’s all about connecting on their terms, and I'm convinced I'm part cat. I live in Brentwood, and I serve West LA, Brentwood, Bel Air, Santa Monica and many nearby areas. Visits can be scheduled any time of the day or night, depending on what's available and what your wishes are. I've been a steady LA musician and voice artist for over 4 decades, and it only enhances my deep devotion to the happiness of cats and my love for them. I know exactly how it feels to miss my cat, to worry when I had to be away, even for a few hours, and to think of nothing else. They rely so much upon us, despite being naturally independent, and the more you love your cats the more you are concerned when you must be away, no matter the reason. I’m in the ideal position to be your cat's companion, and I'm qualified to totally reassure anyone in this situation. I focus on Attention, Anticipation, and Affection...

I’m in the ideal position to be your cat's companion, and I'm qualified to totally reassure anyone in this situation. I focus on Attention, Anticipation, and Affection. Cats need their fill of attention, and I know how to dole it out, whether playing, comforting, grooming, anything the moment dictates! Anticipation means looking out for their well-being, thinking ahead for them, paying particular attention to their environment and potential hazards and keeping them away from harm. Affection is the icing on the cake. I’m sensitive and adaptive to each cat’s own zone, their snuggling desires, and “trigger spots”, all with the goal of letting them know that they are truly loved. I also have years of experience giving meds, whether oral liquids, eye and ear drops, pills, or ointments. In addition, I'm very familiar with giving subcutaneous fluids and insulin injections. I know how to tailor my care for shy, aggressive, or reclusive felines. I have a very special place in my heart for elderly and special needs kitties too! They are especially dear to me and truly define my purpose for being on this planet. Let me use all my natural resources to be the sunshine while you’re away, following your instructions while keeping you in touch with your babies. Even my vets call me "Cat Dad"-- and I run on feline energy. I'll draw on what I've gained over the years caring for my own dearly cherished cats, to bring lots of comfort to yours, and peace of mind to you as well. I don't just simply "sit" them, I share life together with them. When you return home, your kitties will say: “Back so soon? Can we have Tone come over for dinner?”

The pure joy on our little guy’s face when 🐱TONE 🐈 shows up is just amazing — he knows it’s playtime, cuddle time, TONE-time! 🧆Did your automatic dry feeder go off-line? No problem! Tone’s on it. It’s reset! 🍩Did you forget to coil up a blanket in a donut shape for the cat to sleep in? Tone is at the ready! 📦 Did you get too many mail order packages? No worries! They’re inside and dry… Because it’s LA rainy season. 🐟🍗Do you need to blend two different cans of cat food for maximum deliciousness? No surprise, Chef Tone is in the kitchen now!

ALL THE STARS FOR TONE THE CAT WHISPERER! Great interaction, very responsive, wonderful updates (pics, videos, and humorous commentary). I warned him that he might never see our skittish guy, Ralph, who generally hides under the bed when anyone new comes over. But he sensed Tone was his kinda person, came right out and rolled over, exposing his belly! I hope to be able to use Tone many times in the future :))

Tone was great while we were away on a longer trip, and took excellent care when one of our cats had a medical issue. He made sure to get the right treatment quickly and kept us informed with timely updates. We and our kitties appreciate his attentive care.

Our kitties love Tone! We know we can always count on Tone to care for our two cats and our home. He helps with the mail, packages, and to keep an eye on our home while we are away. Tone goes above and beyond to engage with our kitties along with all the regular feeding and cleaning for the kitties.

Tone is The Best! He took great care of my guys while I was away for work. Tone is great about communicating, both with me and with my cats (one of whom is skittish around noisy people and very much appreciated Tone recognizing his preferred volume!) Made focusing on my job much easier, knowing my cats were being so well cared for. You can tell Tone takes the sitting jobs seriously. Very appreciated!

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!
