I'm Anita
Cat Sitting in Pasadena, CA
I’m very attentive to signs of stress ... I’m an experienced cat sitter who has worked with cats on multiple platforms, and I’m also a cat mom to six of my own. Because of this, I have a deep understanding of different cat personalities - from shy and anxious to confident and playful, as well as their triggers, routines, and subtle behavior changes.
I’m very attentive to signs of stress or illness and am well-accustomed to handling cat emergencies calmly and responsibly. I always respect boundaries, follow established routines, and let cats set the pace for interaction. My goal is to make your cat feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away- and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in experienced, capable hands.
Learn More About Anita
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have six cats of my own, and I originally started cat sitting after having several negative experiences with sitters while caring for my own cats. Those experiences showed me how important true cat-specific knowledge is, and motivated me to provide a higher standard of care. I have a strong understanding of cat behavior, common triggers, body language, and early signs of illness. I’m very attentive, observant, and dedicated to each cat’s wellbeing. Cat sitting genuinely brings me joy, and I take pride in helping cats feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
When hiring a cat sitter, I always pay close attention to how they interact with my cat right away. Are they comfortable greeting them? Do they respect boundaries and read body language, or do they seem awkward or unsure? Those first moments often say a lot. I also like to explain my cat’s routine and ask questions to see how they respond. Many sitters are primarily experienced with dogs, and that doesn’t always translate well to cats, who need a very different approach. Understanding cat behavior is essential.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
When working with timid or anxious cats, I never force interaction. I move slowly and let them set the pace, allowing them to observe me and smell my hand if they choose. If appropriate, I may offer a treat calmly and without pressure. I always respect their space and boundaries. If a cat wants interaction, I welcome it; if not, I focus on making sure their needs are met and that they feel safe, secure, and comfortable in their environment.

Anita was super communicative, sent adorable photo updates, and actually spent time playing and hanging out with my cat instead of just doing the basics. Booney can be a little picky with new people but she warmed up so quickly! I would absolutely book Anita again.

Anita was amazing!! So great with the kitties! It’s such a relief knowing your fur babies are being well taken care of when you go out of town. She sent so many amazing photos and thorough updates everyday. 🩷 Great attention to detail. My cats have a few meds and those were no problem for her at all. Would book her again in a heartbeat!

Anita was an absolutely outstanding cat sitter, and we could not be happier with the care she provided for our cat and our home. From the moment we met her, it was obvious that Anita genuinely loves cats. She didn’t just stop by to complete a checklist of tasks—she took the time to get to know our cat, build trust, and make a real connection. Her patience, kindness, and genuine affection for animals were evident throughout the entire experience. Anita was exceptionally conscientious and dependable. She carefully monitored food and water, kept everything clean and tidy, and did an excellent job maintaining the litter boxes. What really impressed us was her attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond. She even cleaned up scattered cat litter around the house, something we never expected her to do but greatly appreciated. Knowing that our cat was receiving such thoughtful and attentive care gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. It’s difficult to imagine a better experience with a pet sitter. We wholeheartedly recommend Anita to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional cat sitter. She exceeded our expectations in every way, and we fully intend to use her services again in the future.

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 $35.00. 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!

Anita took wonderful care of my two cats while I was away. She is super attentive, reliable, thoughtful, and clearly has a genuine love and understanding of cats. From our first meeting, I was impressed by her professionalism, attention to detail, and excellent communication. Throughout the entire booking, she kept me informed and gave me complete peace of mind that my cats were receiving great care. She was consistently dependable, proactive, and incredibly considerate. What I especially appreciated was how well she understood cat behavior. Both of my cats are very shy, and Anita respected their boundaries while still making sure they were safe and doing well. It's rare to find someone who is both highly organized, so genuinely caring, and understanding of cats. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats and couldn't have asked for a better experience. I would absolutely book Anita again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and truly cat-savvy sitter.

Anita is incredibly caring, reliable, and attentive with cats. She is experienced, detail oriented and stays calm in any situation. She is also great at spotting any potential behavioral changes and communicates clearly, which makes her so easy to trust. She also provides amazing cat pictures as a bonus :) I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any cat parent.

I have had Anita look after my cats multiple times. There’s no one I would trust more to look after them while I am away, I know they are in the best hands. Anita has excellent communication, lots of great updates of my babies while I’m away, and is super respectful of my house as well. I highly recommend Anita!
