Hi I’m Mia a mommy to two cats! I’ve taken care of cats since I was 14 and continue to at Pasadena Humane volunteering. I am an experienced sitter dedicated to making your furry friend feel loved and safe in all of his or her unique love languages.

I understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level (one of my cats is super shy and the other one is outgoing), so I take a gentle approach and meet your friend where they are at. I am extremely detail oriented so I will ensure to follow all your directions and routines for a stress-free experience. I have experience taking care of cats/kittens of all ages and can administer various medications if needed.

Being a mama of 2 cats at home I have the intuition to notice early signs if something seems off and will communicate with you promptly! I look forward to meeting your feline friends and being their certified can opener and loyal litter scooper 😸

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 (2.5 yrs old) named Buddy! They’re total opposites of each other but they’re best friends! They loving snuggling and play fighting.

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. 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 provide a detailed summary after each visit to provide peace of mind that everything is taken care of. 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 (on his own terms of course) and now is a belly rubs king!

I cannot recommend Mia highly enough! She took wonderful care of my two boys and was incredibly professional throughout. I received regular updates with photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. ​What truly set Mia apart was her reliability and proactive care. When my other sitter failed to show up on the first day, Mia immediately stepped up and offered help. Since one of my boys requires regular fluids, she even offered to drive him to the vet to ensure he got the medical care he needed if it became necessary. While it ultimately wasn't needed, knowing she was ready to go above and beyond was such a huge relief. Mia is kind, communicative, and clearly a natural with cats. I will definitely be booking her again!

Mia gave exceptional care to our sister/brother cat duo for the six days we were away. From the moment we met, we felt confident about our choice, as did Nana and Paca! Mia shared daily photos and videos of the cats which we really appreciated! We now have found the perfect caregiver and friend for our fur-babies!

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!

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!!

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.

Pasadena cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $33.00. 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!
