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!

Gen is a wonderful pet sitter and I highly recommend her! At our meet and greet, my cats loved her immediately- she definitely knows how to interact with cats so they feel safe! She also is a great communicator. I love how she sent regular updates with pictures of the kitties. Thank you, Gen!

Genevieve is a true animal lover who is calm, caring and attentive. During the 2025 Eaton Fire, she acted quickly and thoughtfully to keep her own cats safe and comfortable. Having cared for many pets over the years, she offers thoughtful advice and excellent day-to-day care grounded in real experience. She is always dedicated to every animal’s well-being and ensures they feel secure and cared for — I would trust her with my own pets without hesitation.

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.
