I'm Anita

Cat Sitting in Pasadena, CA

I’m an experienced cat sitter who specialises in Multi cat Households - I’m a cat mom to six as well as currently fostering 4 so I’m no stranger to taking care of multiple cats at once. Because of this, I also 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 an experienced cat sitter who specialises in Multi cat Households - I’m a cat mom to six as well as currently fostering 4 so I’m no stranger to taking care of multiple cats at once. Because of this, I also 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.

Here’s a fun, warm review that keeps the tone light while highlighting everything Anita did well: Another fantastic experience with Anita! She took great care of our famously antisocial Maine Coon, Cat Stevens, while we were away from Tuesday through Saturday. Anyone who has met our cat knows she considers “making friends” to be a character flaw, so the fact that Anita was able to track her down every day for food, water, and general wellness checks deserves some kind of detective’s badge. This visit included a couple of surprise hairball/vomiting incidents (because apparently our cat wanted to keep things interesting), and Anita handled them without missing a beat. She also brought in our packages, kept us updated with excellent communication, and let us know exactly how each visit went. We never had to wonder how things were going because her updates were detailed, thoughtful, and reassuring. Most importantly, we completely trust Anita with our home and with Cat Stevens. The lack of affection from our furry little diva says absolutely nothing about Anita and everything about our cat’s personality. If Cat Stevens ever voluntarily sat in a sitter’s lap, we’d probably schedule her for a veterinary exam. Anita is cheerful, dependable, communicates exceptionally well, and clearly cares about the pets she watches. We’re always happy to have her back, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter!!

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 a caring and responsible sitter for my senior cat! She was a great communicator and got along famously with my cat. She was also able to administer medications and deal with some toileting issues. Much gratitude!

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!

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 $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 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 Meet & Greet!
