I'm Sophia | Cat Sitting in Pasadena, CA

Hi there! 😸 My name is Sophia, I live in Pasadena, CA and work in Glendale! A little about me: I have been a cat owner since the age of 6, and currently have 4 rescues of my own! My blind/high needs tabby kitty named Sagira has been a loving companion for 12 years now. I rescued a spunky little weirdo named Guillermo in 2020 - he has two modes: nap time and loudly meowing about his toys! A few years ago my partner and I blended our kitty family, and I’ve adopted his fun-loving big-kitten-energy siblings - 5y.o. Daisy & Dewey, as my own. I have been the go-to sitter for my friends' cats since college, and have prior experience running a veterinary hospital. I have fostered many kittens and older kitties alike, as well as volunteered with many different cat rescues over the years. Needless to say, I sometimes feel more comfortable around cats than humans 😹 When it comes...

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

I have been professionally sitting through Meowtel for 3 years now! Prior to that, I managed an emergency veterinary hospital and have been watching the kitties of friends and neighbors my whole adult life!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love playing fairy godmother to all the kitties in my surrounding neighborhoods! It is such a joy to meet and spend time with so many kitties - I love meeting new cats, as well as watching the personalities of regular kitty clients blossom over time, having a shy cat warm up to me in their own time is such a sweet gift! Beyond that, I am so happy to enable my clients to travel and leave their kitties at home with peace of mind! I love going above and beyond to make your trip a breeze!

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

This is a great question! To be honest, I am an anxious person - when entering and leaving your home, I’m extra cautious to ensure no kitties are escaping outside, and during our visits, kitties will not be permitted to go outside. I tend to triple check that I’ve locked the door, always keep keys on my person to prevent lockouts, and will send photos of your key in your lockbox at the end of a reservation (if applicable). For kitties who are experts at hiding, I want to make sure I can find them for both my and your peace of mind, while giving them adequate space to feel safe in their hiding spot without encroaching on their sense of safety. And if anything ever pops up during a visit that I’m unsure about, I’m not afraid to ask questions and communicate!

Sophia takes such good care of our cats when we are away! Her updates are thorough and the cats love her.

Sophia once again is our cat rockstar. She went above and beyond - dealing with some curves that none of us could foresee - including an emergency re: one of our doors that almost led to an escaped kitty. She handled everything like a dream - esp since we were in the middle of a souk in Marrakesh! All while managing to charm our little shy girls & make sure our outdoor boy got enough of his meds. I would 150% recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter. I struggle leaving the cats for long trips, but now that we have Sophia, we can travel in peace knowing our little ones are well taken care of.

Sophia is an INCREDIBLE sitter! My husband & I went to Seattle for six days, and we knew our cats were in amazing hands. Our senior kitty, who is scared of everyone, warmed up to her (so much that she was cuddling and making biscuits for her lol) within the first few visits… And my younger cat became her best friend immediately! Sophia’s updates were detailed, and her photos/videos were so cute. Our cats are our babies, and it was so nice not having to worry while we were away visiting family. Thank you so, so much, Sophia!

Sophia is amazing!! She always gave us very detailed updates after every visit, took great care of our kitties, and went above and beyond to help keep our home clean and orderly after every visit. Can’t thank her enough for the peace of mind she allowed us while we were on vacation.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $42.00. 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.
