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 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 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!

Frequently Asked Questions

Pasadena cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
