I'm Laurel | Cat Sitting in Pasadena, CA
“The smallest feline is a masterpiece.” Leonardo da Vinci's observation could not have been more accurate. I love all animals, but I especially have enjoyed living with and caring for cats all my life. I appreciate every cat for his or her own unique purrsonality and like to get acquainted with them on their terms. Everything I do as a cat sitter is rooted in building mutual trust through love, compassion, respect, honesty, and lots of patience. I have been cat sitting professionally since 2019, but prior to that, I cared for two beloved cats of my own for over 15 years! While I frequently get repeat customers, I welcome new kitty clients too. I have enjoyed establishing strong, positive relationships with the kitties I care for so that they feel comfortable and secure with me when their families are away. I'm a former college professor with a Ph.D. in Psychology (Animal Behavior, Conditioning, and Learning). I often apply training techniques when I work with kitties to make brushing and other treatments as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. I love playing with cats during my visits to give them exercise and prevent boredom. I will do my best to provide your kitty with the same kindness and quality care that I would want my own cat to receive. I can never replace your presence, but I will try to replicate your daily routine as closely as possible because most k...

Laurel's Reviews
Janice
I can cut and paste all of my reviews of Laurel’s fantastic kitty and client care, and it would still not be enough my appreciation of her! At bottom, I never, ever, not for even an instant worry about our senior kitties or our home when Laurel is there.
Mingchen
We've had the pleasure of Laurel looking after our Sesame periodically over the last two years and feel so lucky to have found her!! She is extremely sweet and attentive to our very shy cat, who often runs and hides whenever anyone other than us (or Laurel!) come home. She is very detail-oriented and wonderful about providing images and updates of our lil guy which we appreciate so much. We can't imagine leaving him home with anyone else but her!! For anyone looking for a truly amazing sitter in the area we couldn't recommend anyone else more than her. :)
Miguel
Laurel is absolutely fantastic. She goes above and beyond what most cat sitters do, and my cats completely loved spending time with her!
Ellen
Laurel is incredible! She set a very consistent routine for her visits, giving us updates each step of the way. We got great photos and videos and updates on how our cat was doing. I never worried about our cat at all while we were gone (which is saying something for me). We will for sure be using Laurel again in the future.
Daniel
Laurel provided outstanding care for the monster who shares my apartment whilst I was abroad (one word). She sent daily detailed reports, photos and videos, and even managed to gain Clawed's trust, an accomplishment that mostly eludes me. Highly recommended!

Frequently Asked Questions
Pasadena cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $39.00. 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.
