What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

That every personality and relationship will be different! I really enjoy getting to know your furry friend and seeing how to best care for them while you’re away.

You can’t beat a classic wand! It’s so fun to see the kitty become a gymnast and test out their hunting skills.

Bessie was an amazing sitter for my two young kittens. I hadn’t left them alone before, and Bessie put my mind at ease with frequent updates and photos, twice a day. She took care of everything and even brought in our trash can from the curb after trash day before I could ask her to help with it. Super highly recommended… we will be asking Bessie to help us out again on our next trip!

Bessie was great! I booked her for the first time I left my new kitten and adult cat alone together and I gave her a lot of various instructions because they are still getting used to each other. The older cat is a bit tough sometimes especially with strangers and the kitten is really hyperactive and she did an amazing job being patient with both of them! She also gave me regular updates which was much appreciated. Highly recommend!

Bessie has watched my cat a few times and is very respectful of both the cat and of my apartment. She shows up when she says she will and is very reliable! She feeds, waters and cleans the litter box in alignment with any direction given. My cat on occasion has a special food she needs and I can always trust that Bessie will understand and follow the direction given for administering that. My cat can be unfriendly towards new faces but Bessie is great at reading the needs of any animal and knowing when its okay to try to play, or when its time to give them their personal space. I will definitely trust Bessie with my cat again!

Frequently Asked Questions

Marina Del Rey cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $35.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
