Learn More About Charley
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been a caregiver for cats for family and friends my whole life. Decades of trust from my loved ones. But, I also did pet care professionally with a service for three years with Bon Ami in the San Fernando Valley. While they are no longer in operation, I continue with my whole heart!
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Playful or calm, sleepy or mischievous, I just think life is better around cats. The fact that I can hang out and make sure their lives are better is a joy and an honor! And, for all their humans, I hope I give them tremendous peace of mind!
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
I once cat sit for a ginger named Bernie and he would join me for my morning yoga. I really looked forward to it because he would stretch and lie on my back. Talk about zen! He kept to himself otherwise but I really loved those mornings together.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Gilda Radner is my senior baby and Kurt Vonnegut Jr. is my best boy, and very much a one year old kitten
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Meet and greets are so helpful! Reading profiles and reviews are wonderful. But, you don’t know if a person will vibe with your kitty until they’re in front of you. Also, it’s your home! I want you to feel as comfortable as possible with me in your space. I always make time for meets and greets before a sit!
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I typically schedule a meet and greet where we see if we’re a good fit. We will go over any specifics to your kitty and to your home to keep everyone and everything exactly as you want.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
Absolutely no front or back doors will be left open. As an owner of two, including a very fast kitten, I will always be extremely mindful when entering or exiting your home.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes! I love to spend holidays with a new furry friend. But, I book up fast between my kitty and puppy walking clients! So schedule ASAP!
What is your favorite cat toy?
For most kitties you gotta love a ribbon. Great excercise! But, my boy Kurt is the first cat I’ve ever known who plays fetch! So, that blows my mind and is the most fun too!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Patience. Cats who are shy just need time. A calm and welcoming presence shows they are safe. And, if need be, a treat can be offered to break the ice!

Charley was very sweet and caring! They sent me updates every visit and played with my cat in addition to feeding him. They also made the key transfer very easy, both before and after my trip.

I have known Charlie for 15 years and have seen firsthand how loving, reliable, and truly attentive they are with everything they do. But when it comes to animals, it’s something special; pets are naturally drawn to Charley. Pets trust Charley instantly, pets want to be with them and relax completely in their care. Charley is gentle, responsible, and deeply attuned to every animal’s needs, the kind of person pets choose for themselves. If your pet needs care, I can promise you won't find anyone more loving or trustworthy than Charley.

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!
