Learn More About Mia

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a super shy black cat (4yrs old) named Billie and a gregarious orange cat (2 yrs old) named Buddy! They’re total opposites of each other but they’re best friends! They loving snuggling and sitting on top of each other.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

My process is ultimately starting with trust. I see if I can visit before the cat parent leaves that way it is not a complete surprise for the cats and so the cat parent can meet me in person. I always make sure to get all contact info for them and their vet in case of any emergencies. I always ask them what the routine is and stick to it to provide a stress-free experience. I take detailed notes on feeding instructions, litter habits, medications, playtime, favorite toys, and any other quirks to make sure I create a safe and loving environment. I am a clear communicator and will confirm all dates and take pictures/videos to send to ensure the cats are well loved and taken care of.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

My cat Billie is a very shy and anxious boy. It took me a few weeks to even get him out of underneath the bed when I first adopted him. I was super patient with him and put his food under the bed with him and showed him my hand just to sniff. I even bought a pheromone spray to help him feel less stressed. What helped the most was using a wand toy and playing with him. He was super responsive and got his “mojo”. He still can be a little skiddish but I am always cautious to be slow and gentle to remind him he’s safe. He’s blossomed into a lap cat and even loves belly rubs now!

Mia is exceptional. above and beyond is not enough to describe how incredible of a sitter Mia is. Mia saw that our cat went into the ER and masterfully provided medication while we were out. I am so so comfortable with her and cannot recommend her enough. please book Mia! if you're hesitant at all about Mia, dont be. this is THE sitter to book

Our kitties LOVE Mia!! As a sitter myself, I have high standards for kitty care and Mia truly went above and beyond! We have a senior kitty who requires daily medication and separation from our younger cats, and Mia was so fun, thoughtful, and thorough in her updates and photos to give us peace of mind. Our older kitty got lots of love and attention while remaining secure and separate from the others. Our younger kitties got lots of playtime and pets as well - even our shyest cat warmed up to her right away at the Meet & Greet! Our cats were so chill and happy when we returned home, they barely seemed to miss us. 10/10 - will absolutely book with Mia again!!

Our kitties love Mia so much!! We’ve been so happy booking with her and trusted her for our 2 week long trip to Japan. It was such a relief knowing even with the time change that she was there to look after our kitties and super communicative about her arrivals, who ate & how much, whether she had to give extra food or put any away, and if there were any puke incidents or anything awry at home. Our cats were well loved and played with, and we got lots of videos every single time to show how much they were happy to be in her company! We’re so grateful to Mia for her kindness and companionship with our cats - and will definitely continue to book with her in the future!

We booked Mia again for a long weekend, and her visits with our kitties didn’t disappoint! she gets lots of playtime in with our rambunctious tabbies and silly black cat - they could seriously play for hours and we love to see the videos of them doing what they love most! Our cats greet her at the door and love her company so much, they barely noticed when we returned home 😹 Our older kitty has a special diet and liquid medications, and Mia takes time to share her getting her soup dinner, as well as ensure that she’s comfortable and gets the extra attention she needs. We love Mia’s updates and look forward to them each day we’re away - she makes the hard part of leaving our kitties for a trip easy and care-free! We’ll absolutely be booking her again!

Mia was absolutely wonderful — so sweet, kind, and incredibly communicative. She did exactly what we asked and went above and beyond by sending plenty of photos and videos each visit. Super reliable and always on time. We felt completely at ease leaving our cat in her care!

Mia did a wonderful job taking care of my cats. She was in communication with me during the visits and sent photos of my kitties. I truly appreciated her being there for my cats while I was away, and plan to ask her to use her again for future needs. Thank you again Mia! 😊🐈🐈‍⬛

Mia was a godsend and lifesaver. We booked her close to the date of our trip, and she provided quick responses and made us feel very comfortable. She went above and beyond in caring for our two cats! We were worries that they felt lonely with us not being there. I am really grateful for Mia being there. It made our hearts feel warm. We even had a problem with the front door lock. Mia came back multiple times to make sure we were able to resolve and feed the cats. Mia truly and genuinely cares for furry ones. I will definitely recommend Mia for other cat owners and will call Mia again if needed :) she is great and wonderful!!!

Mia was absolutely amazing from her communication to the photos and videos she provided and everything in between! She was super thoughtful and very attentive with a great eye for the small details. I appreciate her responsiveness and flexibility on such short notice. She put me at ease knowing that my boys were in such great hands! She kept them super happy and followed all the info I left for her perfectly. She even checked in with me about some things that totally slipped my mind which I so appreciate because I wouldn’t have remembered if it wasn’t for her! I honestly can’t say enough great things about her. I was confident she would be an awesome sitter, but she truly went above and beyond and I can’t thank her enough! I would 100% recommend Mia to anyone looking for a sitter!

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 $33.00. 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.
