I'm Kim | Cat Sitting in Pasadena, CA

Always ready for the needs of your cats and kittens! I've been cat sitting for friends & family for many years, and now professionally with Meowtel for over two years! One of the things I'm especially known for is taking the best photos & videos (might have something to do with my photography background). Raising my own cat (7yrs Maine Coon mix) taught me to learn and trust a cat's communication style first and foremost. Each cat has a distinct personality and ability to communicate with us. Best of all, every cat is the cutest cat in the world. I don't know how they do it.! Working with Meowtel has given me ample experience with cats of various medical needs. This has been one of...

Learn More About Kim

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have an orange maine coon + tabby mix named Steven Spielberg (but he goes by Bergs). I've had him since he was just a few weeks old and just a handful size of fluff!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! Due to the nature of my work I almost never work on holidays and have consistently been able to take on reservations then!

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

First and foremost I always give a cat their space. I find that once a cat recognizes that I'm there to feed them and take care of them, they're a lot less shy. It's all about respecting their time and space, and sometimes giving a little treat for encouragement.

Kim did a great job at sending updates and marvelous photos of our boy. She attended to everything we asked of her and even helped bring in packages which was above and beyond.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

If you are not fully satisfied with your sitter after the Meet & Greet or during the reservation, please call 1-844-636-9835 so we can help you re-book with a new sitter to ensure we can deliver on our purrfect hospitality promise.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $39.00. 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.
