I'm Louisa
Cat Sitting in Montrose, CA
Now I’m an artist living in Montrose CA with my fiancé and our two sweet cats, Cricket and Kifli. In my spare time I like crocheting, playing games on my switch, and going to pottery class.
Many of my loved ones live out of state, so I know what it’s like to leave your pets behind when you travel. My goal is to make sure you never feel too far from your cats while you’re away, and you can enjoy your vacation... Hi there! My name is Louisa, and I’ve loved cats as long as I can remember. I was only able to adopt one of my own when I moved to Los Angeles, a sweet five year old calico who loves to be held and to meow as loud as she can.
Now I’m an artist living in Montrose CA with my fiancé and our two sweet cats, Cricket and Kifli. In my spare time I like crocheting, playing games on my switch, and going to pottery class.
Many of my loved ones live out of state, so I know what it’s like to leave your pets behind when you travel. My goal is to make sure you never feel too far from your cats while you’re away, and you can enjoy your vacation with 100% confidence in their well being!
At meet and greets I always want to let your cats set the tone, introducing myself to them in whatever way makes them (and you!) feel safe. I also want to hear everything you have to tell me about your cats' care. Don't worry about talking for a long time or repeating yourself - if it's important to you then I want to hear it! I am fully vaccinated and happy to wear a mask in your home.
I have experience with all kinds of kitty personalities, from big and loud to quiet and mysterious to timid and curious. My cat Cricket loves to soak up all the attention in the room, and she gives snuggles and big purrs to anyone who enters the house. My cat Kifli is quiet and careful, always assessing a situation for a long time before she decides to engage. I have so much love for both of them, and it's so rewarding to learn and understand the ways they show love in return.
Learn More About Louisa
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two cats! Cricket is a twelve year old calico with a big voice and almost no teeth. Shes a real snuggler who wants to be picked up and carried around the house like a little queen. Kifli (Key-flea) is a white and grey who looks just like a spotted egg when she curls up. She's cautious, but curious too! She might get spooked by a new object or person in the house, but inevitably she'll pop her head out to take a look.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Follow your instincts! Every part of a sitter profile matters. If it seems like they've put a lot of thought and effort into their profile and their responses to you via message, they are likely to put that same effort into your cat's care. Read reviews, specifically from cat parents whose pets sound similar to yours, and see how the sitter did. If anything seems off at the meet and greet, don't feel pressured into going through with a booking. Maybe it's not a good fit, that's alright! Have a clear list of your pets needs ready. For my cats, I like to have a google doc I can share with sitters and update as my cats needs change! This includes feeding instructions, sitter expectations, emergency contacts and reminders about my pets preferences.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
It's important to meet cats where they're at! I never force a cat to be close to me or approach a cat with big energy. I always say hello, get on their level, and reach out a closed hand from a distance to see if they're interested in coming over to say hi. If not, that's alright! I always try to hold a calm, welcoming energy when visiting an anxious cat, maybe sitting quietly on the floor or offering a treat if they seem curious. Every cat is different, and I love learning their personalities and quirks so they can feel safe around me!

We had a lovely tiem with Louisa! Zoot is normally a bit shy but he instantly took to her during the Meet n' Greet! Louisa knew just what to do to make friends with him. While we were away, she gave me thoughtful, detailed updates with lots of photos and video! She really spent her time playing with him and keeping him company. We'll definitely be booking with her again soon!

Louisa was very accomodating with a last minute meet-and-greet prior to the cat sitting, something I really appreciated. She has cats of her own and is clearly experienced in creating a positive first impression on new kitties. She was able to engage both of my cats in playtime in the first sitting - purrfect!

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.
Montrose 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!

Louisa took wonderful care of my boys while I was out of the country for two weeks. She gave detailed updates and sent the best pics! I was nervous about getting a cat sitter as it was my first time not asking friends or family to check in on them, but she totally put my mind at ease with her demeanor and expertise at the meet and greet and her professionalism throughout my absence had me completely comfortable and fully able to enjoy my trip. My super shy kitty warmed up to her really quickly too so you know she's one of the good ones. Overall Louisa was the absolute BEST and I will not hesitate to hire her again. Truly, thank you so much!
