What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been cat sitting for the past 20 years. I have offered both house sitting and cat sitting services in that time. I have experience with multi-cat households, cats with medical or dietary needs, and even semi-feral cats. I have worked with animal rescues as well assisting in adoption and foster placement.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love cats. I love being able to provide warmth and kindness to cats who may be feeling nervous about separation from their owners, provide fun and enrichment for cats who may be feeling bored in their owner's absence, and just spend time with cats! It's a joy to be able to work with animals you love.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite cat sitting reservation was with three cats. There was a kitten who was easy to bond with and a brother and sister pair who were recently adopted and had previously not had much contact with people. I watched these cats over a period of five years. It took a very long time for the brother and sister pair to become comfortable with people, but after a few months of watching them, they started to approach me and rub up against my legs or allow me to dangle a toy for them. While I love all cats, this pair was especially gratifying because I allowed them to trust me in their own time, and they did. They learned that I was safe and there to care for them and love them. I still get updates about them to this day!

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 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!
